you mean he was 0-4 against 2 of the top teams with a loss a REAL 30+ scholarships, against the 2 teams that played for the NC title in 99.

Same 2 teams he beat in 00 and his team he left beat for years to come

Did you happen to notice the team he left behind? There were a couple 1st round draft picks ... at just about every position. I think it was his recruits 1 st round picks that Saban was chasing and failed to match for a few years. FSU, in its ENTIRE existence has something like 42 1st round picks. Butch has 29 by himself. Bobby's 30 something years and now Jimbo, with all those great recruiting classes for close to 40 years = 42 1st round picks / Little ole Butch Davis = 29. Hum, do you think any of us care that you think Butch didn't do great against Bobby and VT? We don't. Great cooks make a mess in the kitchen. Non-cooks don't. What do you want on the table at dinner: 1) complete 7 course fantastic meal or 2) empty clean plates?
 
Was lucky to beat FSU in 2000 and Vick was injured.

FSU was an evenly talented team. Vick was injured but it wouldn't have made a difference. The OB was rocking with everyone screaming for VT to "Put Vick In." We were winning that game no matter what.

And the record is totally taken out of context. Like there wasn't severe sanctions due to the Pell Grant scandal.

So basically he didn't do the one thing every single person has faulted all of the last three coaches for. That's not winning a game against marquee competition even when they weren't favored. UCLA is the only big and unexpected win of his career here. His next stop at UNC, he had a lot of bad losses and continued his trend of losses to his schools arch rival NC State.

Yes, I give him a pass for the lost scholarships on most of those losses. Everyone should in my opinion.
 
BBB!!! The guy inherited a train wreck and I mean a train wreck and built the greatest CFB ever. How old is the OP?
 
You can almost excuse the record against FSU. Almost. But making VT a relevant program by being Flubberneck's bytch? That's pathetic. About as pathetic as being Tom O'Brien's fck doll while he was at UNC. This Tom O'Brien:
