Enough of this Butch Davis talk he is just as much to blame for the decline of Miami as Coker is. If he never had left then Coker never would have been in over his head and started the decline of this program.
There were several players he looked right in the face (ie Bryant McKinney) talked them into staying and then he bolted for the CASH !!!
So yawl can sing the praises of THIS GUY all you want but the BOT and Admins will never forget how he bolted and lied .. We have been in utter decline as a program ever since .. Yes he was a decent game day coach, SUPERIOR talent evaluator, and if your honest at the forefront of the decline of our program.
This might be the dumbest thing I've ever read.
Your logic is that it's Butch's fault that the program went downhill because he took and NFL job. I guess we should blame Jimmy Johnson for leaving and causing the hire of Dennis Erickson when the program went downhill too.
I've got a novel idea. Maybe the admin should have made a quality hire to replace Butch instead of going the safe route with Coker. That's how continuity works. You blaming Butch just makes you a scorned baby.
The only people responsible for the forefront decline of the program are the admin, Coker, Shannon, Shapiro, the NCAA, and now Golden.
On top of that, you're pathetic attempts to pass the buck to the kids from Golden just makes you a blatant Slurper. It's his responsibility to get the kids up to play Virginia and Pittsburgh after a tough loss to FSU. And the talent is all over the place on the roster and the D-Line failures are due to bad evaluations, Golden's fault, and bad development, still Golden's fault.
Your excuse making is pathetic and I know you just tried to come off as the gruff guy giving the kids a good kick in the pants to get them to play harder but in reality you're just a Golden Fanboy who's doing every song and dance you can to make it seem like Golden can't be to blame when you and him are just giant frauds.
