Wouldn’t be surprised. Butler’s AD, Chris Satterfield, is stepping down at the end of the school year to become Cannon’s AD.
No identity or culture with the program. A lot of kids have left or leaving. Butler has never in the history been a program that more kids leaving than coming to the program.
I hear the turn out to offseason workouts was abysmal compared to the Hales years. The fact they can actually be worse next season is alarming
Surprised at hearing this. They have great coaches; but there could be a culture clash. The current Butler coaches are great for Chambers, MC, West Charlotte type schools. Some coaches just fit better at some places than others. Butler is losing some talent. Losing the DE to MC is huge. He's already getting D1 P5 looks. Damorion Thomas-Wright is an absolute monster. Lexington hated losing him. He will be one of Butlers best players next year.
Don't think folks factored in how tough it would be getting talent into Butler. And with Ferebee being away a few years they didn't get a big transfer in boost that one might expect. With the HS portal working overtime there's a chance Butler gets some guys in.
I think if you’re a great coach you can bridge the gap in regard to cultures for the most part. Tom Knotts can fit anywhere. I don’t think Ferebee and the staff are great coaches. I think he is good not great. Unless something changes Butler will field probably its worst team since the late 90s from a talent perspective. We will find out good he is.
I've been around Creek since 2009, staff definitely would not be a good fit at Creek. The entire entourage of video's weekly, is hard to sustain. Not something the Creek would be accustomed to doing. 4 State Championships appearances and Palmieri never made one post on social media. Tinsley is more conservative and not a social media guy. More of a business as usual.
Palmieri and staff were great. This Butler group showed they could win with someone else's loaded roster, but they haven't done anything since.
AB built the Chambers program. Taking over a program that culturally, had similar coaching styles vs a program like Butler that is totally opposite, is the problem they're having now.
Agree with Creek and a conservative approach. Was thinking more on field and coaching ability vs. off field. Off field you are 100% correct. MC is business oriented. Now that I think of it. WC is more business oriented with some splash. Chambers during their heyday was all splash. Dont think people realize just how talented Chambers was during their run.
