Yall gotta let go of this idea where Davis name carries any cachet to 17-18 years old recruits. they dont care and hop on whats hot NOW not a decade ago.
SO very true - just bc we live in the past doesnt mean kids do ... and btw, butch's pitch should NOT be "I won titles" -, bc he didnt
- his pitch should be I sent a boat load of players to the NFL and True Frosh will play early
It's pretty obviousI still can't understand the hate for Butch on this board.
Butch: Son, I'm Butch Davis. That's right, the coach from THE U PART 2. Listen, 15 years from now they are gonna be making a PART 4 about how I brought THE U back to its glory days after the some weasel ratted about a couple boat rides and some moron coach, who thought winning the coastal was some impossible task, got fired. How have to kinda talent that would make you a lead in this movie. How about you stop playing around, sign this LOI, and come win a couple NC's with this old man?
Recuit: Where do I sign sir?
Even if recruits don't know who he is, he can simply hand them sheets of paper with all of the names of players he's put in the NFL and those kids would understand who is sitting in front of them. Butch's eye for talent and his ability to develop that talent and get them to the NFL is second to none.A lot of kids watched and idolize the U and U2 documentaries. Butch Davis represents both of those. His eye for talent and for player development is something kids will be attracted to. "Play for Coach Davis and you have the best shot in college of going pro."

Find me one coach in the country that doesn't cheat or bend the rules. If you don't play the game you lose. It's how it is. **** the first thing golden did was get that equipment manager whatever his name was to set up a meeting with a player which is an NCAA violation There isn't a clean program in the country, ours included. So to single Butch out is bull****.You don't have to be a Butch slipper but you also don't have to act like a ***** and claim he was responsible for a bunch of NCAA violations. It's simply not true.
Hey may have never been "convicted" but there's a reason no school has touched him for 5 years...it's pretty obvious.
Former UNC Player Details Academic Fraud, Says "Everybody Knew"
Powell quoted former football coach Butch Davis as telling players, "If you all came here for an education, you should have gone to Harvard," while explaining that players were directed to take classes in the now-notorious AFAM department.
Powell says he took a paper class, and that "everybody knew" the nature of them. He also told the WJMH hosts that players were instructed to fail learning disability assessment tests so as to ensure players would be provided assistance during tests and for note-taking.
When asked about UNC basketball coach Roy Williams, Powell called Williams a "snake," and said students sought out classes in which basketball players were enrolled because that was a sure sign there'd be no actual work involved.
Finally, Powell threw in an anecdote about how a female student did all the work for one athlete, after which "we all ran a train on her."
The kids quote on Davis doesn't demonstrate responsibility for the scandal, it's just a blunt truth.
"players were instructed to fail learning disability assessment tests so as to ensure players would be provided assistance during tests and for note-taking."
Like i said you don't have to take my word for it but as good as coach Butch is you can't justify why he's been jobless for 5 years without tracing it back to his stint at UNC.
Not only this, but Butch also hired that assistant coach who was funneling players to some agent.
Let's assume this was actually true.....ZERO ***** GIVEN!! BBB! Had enough of the chior boy Snow White image bull****. Bring me some savages!You don't have to be a Butch slipper but you also don't have to act like a ***** and claim he was responsible for a bunch of NCAA violations. It's simply not true.Nah, yall banned me because i'm not a butch slurper.
