Many programs saw what Butch was doing - and even Arkansas somewhere in there - I believe - was courting Butch - but the problem for many was the timing.
The coaching openings sometimes were a bit off with when he was available. He really did intend to reap the benefits of all his work at UM...
Butch was offered the Browns job. He turned it down. Was going to stay at UM - agent handling contract - UM dragged it out until the last minute. Brown's offered again - UM ******** him over on contract - deadline imminent - UM clearly didn't want him - so he goes to the Browns.
You're...
Schnellenberger left to coach in that new Pro franchise, JJ left for the Pros, and yet everyone is ****y as thirteen girls because Butch left for the pros - ONLY AFTER TURNING THEM DOWN ONCE BEFORE - and UM diddling their puds with his contract.
Go look in our trophy case. Clappy didn't do that.
And for the record - UM should have chosen better. They made a bad decision.
That's why we still suck. Don't be obtuse.
