    What if Butch Davis would've stayed at Miami? (Article)

    Not too many, that's for sure. Our best weapon on O is Richards, and he's not starting over Moss or Wayne. Our best talent on D might be at LB, and that team had Morgan and Webster. Our O-line in 99 was a bunch of scrappy maulers that could do it all, so I don't see anyone taking their...

    Gary Collins, the equipment guy? Can we ask him, too? :o)

    Man, they were confused on that play. I honestly don't think they TRIED to ***** us, because had they done that they would have never come out and said they made a huge, game altering mistake. JJ should have called a timeout, then laid down on the line of scrimmage until they figured out the...

    Oh man, don't get me started on the mess Dennis left behind. That roster was bad. We had converted TEs on the O-line. It was a very, very sad situation. Throw in the massive scholarship reductions and it's a miracle Butch did what he did here. Yeah, there were a handful of talented players...

    We all liked KK, until we started seeing deficiencies in his play. He was an all world recruit that was going to be the next great UM QB. Had Butch started Dorsey over him too early, he'd have been slammed big time. I remember it clearly. Most fans thought Dorsey would get broken in half...

    And lost more big games than anyone wants to remember. We SHOULD have won the title in 85, 86, and 88. In 88 he should have called a timeout to get the refs cleared up at ND. They gave the ball to ND on downs, not on a fumble. They were incorrect thinking it was 4th and goal. It was not...

    Yeah, 99 was a tough year. I see a lot of similarities between 99 and 17. A talented team with erratic QB play, with some frustrating losses. East Carolina and Pitt losses are similar, as they were both lost because of pitiful QB play. Wisconsin was a loss where we literally ripped a loss...

    Yep. UM basically pushed Butch out, then acted shocked when he left. Then they hire three straight scrubs with the money they saved from giving Butch the raise he deserved. Man On a side note, we lost Howard because he was promised more money which I believe he desperately needed for a sick...

    I always wanted the good coaches to stay. Hiring a coach can be a crap shoot, or a box of chocolates. Had Howard never left, we have more than 5 titles, and program stability for 4 decades. Instead we had one massive probation, some bad hires, and stretches of irrelevance. 4 of our 5 titles...
