Indiana is the 2nd biggest football school in a big state and it's a Power 5 team. FIU doesn't have the resources to compete.
Look, these strain comparisons that I've seen in some of the posts on here are laughable. No one thinks Butch is Bill Belichek for game day coaching. But he should have played for and won the NC in 2000. If Coker can win the natty in 2001, there's no question Butch would have.
When Butch was at UNC, they regularly beat Miami on the field and in recruiting.
Butch recruited amazing talent at UNC and developed them. By the time he left, they had grown men on their front 7.
It is what it is. He didn't get hired, he's not coming back, etc. I just wished the school had not been so short sighted. In year 3, we would be serious competitors for the ACC crown and the playoffs.
