It looks as if the window to get Butch Jones at Purdue is closing. multiple reports have stated that his scheduled 5:30 local time departure has been delayed. He was scheduled to leave at 7:30pm Indiana/Ohio time, so this is probably not a good sign for the Boilers:

Player's representing the team amongst the search committee are confirming that Butch Jones is their guy. #CUBuffs @milehighsports

He is not on the plane back, as reported:

A private plane left Cincinnati on Monday morning at 7:58 a.m. Mountain time and arrived at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport near Broomfield at 11 a.m. The aircraft pulled into a private hangar. There is a flight scheduled to leave Rocky Mountain Airport at 5:30 p.m. Monday to go to Cincinnati but Jones is still in Boulder.

Jones reportedly is torn about his decision. Friends say he and his family love Cincinnati and want to remain here, but that he felt compelled to listen to the offers from Purdue and Colorado. If he decides to leave, Colorado is believed to the frontrunner for his services.

While the Butch Jones wait is on, a source tells us Kent State coach Darrell Hazell is 'in play' for #Purdue.
