One clear takeaway from the HC search: most fans in #ButlerNation🇺🇸 have forgiven Chris Holtmann—he showed strong support in our next head coach poll. Now it’s Ron Nored’s program. Excited for what’s ahead this fall. #LetsGoDawgs

@ChrisHoltmann Thanks for letting us down gently today. #ButlerNation can now focus on the coaches really wanting the job. Great job moving the needle at DePaul. The Big East is better for it. Don’t get me wrong, we still want to go 2-0 every year against you though!

Hinkle was really rockin' today! #butlernation

Reality is Butler fans want to see a good product on the floor that is enjoyable to watch. It’s a fanbase that’s basketball savvy and have proven they don’t mind a slower tempo, defense oriented, disciplined team that wins because they know their roles and stick to it. Style of play doesn’t matter, but what does matter, at this juncture, is we just aren’t enjoying the current product on the floor (even before all the injuries). #ButlerNation🇺🇸

#ButlerNation: I’ve listened to or watched every Butler game since 1999, and I can honestly say this stretch feels as frustrating as any — including the Brandon Miller year and the Vall era. I was in school with Thad, and I supported the hire, but I was also tough on Vall when results weren’t there. Fair is fair — this staff deserves scrutiny too. Thad reaching win No. 500 will be a great milestone, but it also feels like a natural moment to ask what’s next for the program. Is it time for Grant L. to step up and show why he was brought in? Curious what other Butler fans think.

#ButlerNation, it’s hard to think we are at an inflection point already in the season (usually Feb slumps). Where do we go from here after an embarrassing 18 point loss at home and stand (10-5) 1-3 in conference play:

good morning butlernation
