Green Bay has really struggled this year. Maybe they are interested in Fitz to come play LB. He might listen to that one.

It’s pretty damn clear at this point what motivates Fitz.

And you know this how my friend? Because he told you or because of what you heard or read or what you want to beleive?

Look I believe GB wants to talk to him and that is where it ends on both sides. But I never believed Brad Stevens would leave Butler, and there he is in Boston. He was the Fitz of Butler hoops, turned down every college that came calling. If they want to talk to them and he is willing to talk back then there is a remote chance, end of story.

We don’t even know that the Packers want to interview him. He was on a list of candidates that the Packers “might” consider by a beat writer.

Stevens wasn't a star at Butler that led them to the Final Four (that's the equivalent of what Fitz did here).

Fitz may leave here someday, but it's pretty clear he doesn't see his job finished here...

How ironic would it be if PF, Mr Loyalty tona fault, left the big contract, new facilities and went to GB? I just can’t see it. But if it happens, better bring Cushing and Springer. They won’t be hired anywhere above peewee at this point.

That seems like a very premature judgement.

Winning the B1G West ain't the equivalent of BU making the Final 4.....let's not get crazy about what has been accomplished. But winning the B1G championship game would have been huge given the opponent. As it is it feels more like the Collins accomplishment of making the field of 32.......

I'm talking about 1995. We were ranked 3rd in both AP/Coaches polls before the Rose Bowl.

Stevens had no prior history with Butler. Fitz did before he started as HC here.

Fitz is a part of this program in a way that Stevens never was at Butler even though he did more as HC there than Fitz has here.

I agree about 1995.

But that was GB's accomplishment.

Local news had a mention of Fitz being mentioned for the Packers' job. Amazing how these things take on a life of there own thanks to the theater of the mind.

Yeah and Cushing and his kids were probably just over there at the Notthfield house yesterday. Fitz was telling Cush that the NU HC job is all his once Fitz leaves for GB. Hahaha.

WTF is wrong with you? Don't even joke about that. You're a sick SOB.

True Stevens didn't star as a player at Butler. But he was hired as a real green assistant coach to be the head coach and took that program that was doing well and took them to great success. He also took a pass on many other offers from big name college programs. That was my parallel
