In their fifth season in the Big East, the Butler Bulldogs will have their third different head coach. After Brandon Miller came Chris Holtmann, who succeeded and then some in Indianapolis the past few seasons. Holtmann, however, is now in Columbus with the Ohio State Buckeyes. The Buckeyes’ vacancy was enough to tantalize him to flee the Big East for the Big Ten, and put BU in scramble mode.
They didn’t have to go too far to find their next head coach, though. And it’s a name Butler fans know already. LaVall Jordan, who starred for the ‘Dawgs from 1997-2001, is back on the Butler staff.
