I said this elsewhere, but relevant to this comment. Why do we always have to go back to this same list just because they have Miami ties? When Alabama was stagnant after Gene Stallings until Saban (and really post-Bryant other than a couple of years under Gene Stallings), they had an...

Agree 100%. The last four have been lazy hires. If he did a full search for a week or two and then came back to Manny, I would not have loved it, but at least I would have said BJ did his due diligence. I know there was the extenuating circumstance with not wanting to keep Temple on hold...

Agreed, but I do think a large percent of the Butch crowd think that people who do not want him back have a vendetta against him and that there is no logical way to arrive at any other answer other than BBB.

In all fairness, he lost to Tulane and Western Kentucky. It’s not like he was playing Alabama or even a mid level P5 team. In any case, I don’t know where this idea that someone not wanting Butch back does not equal respect and appreciation for what he accomplished. I also don’t think looking...

Don’t try to discuss facts, it is truly a mind-numbing waste of time. He will tell you Butch’s life aspirations are now coaching at FIU and he has no interest coaching anywhere else. Which, by the way, raises the question of why would we possibly want to hire a coach at the point in his career...

I mean this as politely as possible. How old are you where you were able to be friends with Nate Webster, yet are at a point in life where you have that as an insult and so little going on? Truly, truly sad and pathetic. You have a WONDERFUL (likely lonely) night too.

Syracuse was 21 for that game. They had Donovan McNabb. Good team. We still lost 66-13. We lost to them the year before at home, which was the year with the most impact from the lost scholarships. We beat them by double digits just about every other year. How about ECU in 1999? How...

Actually, if you read instead of crying like a hormonal teen, you would have read that I said he would have been better with any of these last four. I think the last four coaches have been lazy and cheap. Out of curiosity, how was Butch’s self coaching philosophy when we were ranked in the top...

You clearly want to be affirmed that Butch was faultless, all knowing, and could not improve in a single area. I’ll stick with the proof that if he was all of that, he would be somewhere besides FIU at 0-2. Have a good night.

I am not confused. Lost scholarships has nothing to do with needing to use timeouts coming out of change of possessions or other timeouts. It has nothing to do with mismanagement of clock. 2000 was great, aside from our first half game plan at Washington. It also was stacked with Butch’s eye...

I do not get this angry over things because I have accomplished something in my life instead of riding my relative’s *******. With all of that being said, Butch was a great evaluator of both coaches and players. He was anywhere from a subpar to middling game day coach, depending on the day. So...

Buddy, get off of Butch’s junk. We get it - your relative was a coach, you knew Nate Webster, you like reliving the glory days and will never get over the grave injustice done to Butch by not giving him another shot when he left for the NFL. You and Coach Nacho should go play catch together.

He beat a Randy Shannon coached Miami team so let’s hire him. Brilliant. There is a reason not one single legitimate program wants Butch Davis as its coach and has not since he left the NFL. Being a better coach than Shannon, Golden, and Miami Richt is not some incredible achievement. This...
