2. Being a good guy- Butch tells his AD privately that he will be leaving after the season to return to State so the AD wont be blindsided
3. Auburn AD has made a call or two to some agents saying he is checking around "in case" Butch leaves for StarkVegas
4. Somebody putting 2 and 2 together as to who could be State's next HC

OR:

This tweeter doesnt know shit and is just throwing something out there that he heard from somebody else that doesnt know shit
Possibly, I just don't think Cohen would have offered Butch the job yet.

That being said, I think Butch would be a solid, high floor, limited ceiling hire. Possibly like a Dan Mullen for the baseball program.

What Butch does bring though is extremely positive:

- Butch is a good recruiter & evaluator
- He's extremely mature & an adult. He's stable & would bring stability to the program.
- Butch loves MSU & MSU is where he wants to be. We would not have to worry about Butch ever leaving for another job. MSU is his dream job
