LOL. The revionist history is incredible.
His teams didn’t get “better and better” at UNC. They maxed out at 8 wins. They won 8 games for three straight years. They never beat NCSU, who is their biggest football rival. And he was going 8-5 while using John Blake to bag high profile recruits. So he was cheating, and not even doing anything impressive with it.
His teams didn’t get “significantly better” at Miami. He took over a 10-2 team and went 8-3. He didn’t do better than 9-3 until 2000.
Richt took over a team that hadn’t won the SEC since 1982 and won it in his second year.
You want to see a turn around in conference USA..look at FAU. They went from 3-9 to 11-3 in one year. Meanwhile Butch is putting together 8 win seasons because that’s what he is. He is an 8-9 win a year coach who doesn’t even try to win the game against better teams.
You're not THAT stupid, are you? Butch didn't use bag men - the UNC was busted for providing ALL athletes and even regular students a few crip courses - and had been doing so for many years before Butch got there! If the school hadn't done that - Butch had that team ready to roll that year.
You want to be stupid - that's your choice - but you can't say Butch was working to bag anyone. By the way - his last year? He had a number of his starters who were suspended - nothing to do with Butch - and the STILL did pretty good and won his bowl game.
Yes, he took over a 10-2 team at Miami - that barely survived the Death Penalty that 10-2 year - and starting with his first day at UM, started with the loss of 31 scholarships - the program's name was Mudd - and for all intents and purposes - he had to rebuild a team almost from squat. Like Schnellenberger.
You retards that read quick stats - but don't understand WTH is behind those stats - you're blind in one eye, and can't see out the other.
Richt took over a healthy team - and Oh! Won the SEC - how many times? Over how long?
You're one of those who likes the guy who sneaks into the field of a marathon the last mile of the run -
Or who tops a mountain after being dropped off by a helicopter near the pinnacle! What an accomplishment.
Butch is a program builder - he's got a record for doing that. Richt isn't. Nor does he have a record for doing that.
Butch is a proven recruiter/program builder - Richt only gets in a drives.
There's a difference. A big difference.
