If I was a betting man, knowing everything I know about butler, the job is probably Stone’s if he wants it. Butler likes to go in house with their hires in the past with football and basketball. Stone is a great fit and if you pair him with Littlejohn as OC, that pair can build a solid staff with an already good roster.
Greiner would be a home run hire in my opinion but some of the coaches on here disagree. I can admit, I’m only a fan. If Greiner was to be hired, and was able to retain Stone, they would be hard to stop. Greiner has had to build everywhere he has gone, at butler he will be handed a state title contender day #1 and a very solid program going forward that’s never really short on talent. Wc is loaded in 2027, but butler has shown they don’t need an uptick in talent as they consistently get kids in that area. Plus, going forward, how does gentrification affect WC? Beatties ford area is changing drastically. I know gentrification has killed some strong athleitic programs already in metro DC, atl, and Los Angeles. LA Times had an article about some of the most consistent powerhouses declining bc of demographic shifts and locals being pushed out…is that too early to discuss for Charlotte metro? Is that too early to even discuss for WC? I’m genuinely asking. I think on a surface, butler is a better job than WC if someone had to choose going forward.
