Butch Davis was the Right Choice

[duke4heisman]

Lulz @ another Butch Davis thread. You'll cowards stay leaving in the past yearning for an irrelevant studio analyst that hasn't done **** on the field in 15 years.

How easily some of you forget how he handled the Browns job: Butch League Butch Davis left Miami scrambling when he betrayed his players and bolted for a big-money deal with the Browns

How easily some of you forget how he conducted himself after Sean Taylor Da Gawwwwwwwwwwwd died.

Look at the 1997 Canes: Edgerrin James, Reggie Wayne, Bubba Franks, Santana Moss, Damione Lewis, Dan Morgan, Duane Starks, Nate Webster...how does he go 5-6?

Look at the 2010 Tar Heels: 12 players invited to the NFL combine, 9 players drafted, tied for most with USC in the 2011 draft. Butch led UNC to an 8-5 record, 4-4 in the ACC. More Butch underachievement.

Butch Davis is another underachieving coRch that gets constantly white knighted for something he did 15 years ago. He hasn't done **** since.

Miami needs a young coAch that change the way Miami football is played. Not some older, washed up, run of the mill coRch.

U mean like Fuente who lost to Navy last year or Herman who lost to Navy this year? No, what we need is someone who knows how to win at Miami. We need someone who can take not only elite kids but kids who some coaches don't want and make them 1st round level talent; which in turn creates what we saw from 2000-2002. Those were Butch's players and that was Butch's development. All y'all haters love to talk about how many years it took and how he underachieved until then, conveniently forgetting he was dealt the 2nd harshest penalties to date; only worse was the death penalty.
U shook and look ridiculous B.

You think Fuente or Herman loses to Navy if he's at Miami?

Yall always point to these occasional losses to inferior opponents, as if NOBODY in the coaching world ever slips up. Even Saban and Meyer have lost to teams they weren't supposed to. Fuente and Herman were/are the only reasons their teams are even relevant. You wouldn't be talking about Memphis or Houston if it wasn't for those guys.

I'm not saying they're bad coaches but I think Butch is the answer for Miami. Doesn't matter because Richt is here for a while, I just hope he isn't like Golden and not only acknowledges his flaws but takes action against them.

 

[Torocane]

We gotta have the most stuck-in-the-past, non-progressive fanbase in the country.

Yeah, let's hire old a$$ Butch Davis cause he was able to assemble a good team almost two decades ago.

We want the guy who under-achieved at UNC (Butch) but we won't even consider the guy who has UNC over-achieving currently. (Fedora) Awesome logic.

I got an idea. How 'bout we be progressive and sign one of these young innovative guys that are raping defenses on a weekly basis with kids who won't even sniff the NFL?

People didn't want Fuente cause he coached at Memphis and "never beat anybody big", yet he's the only reason Memphis was even relevant to begin with. Same thing applies to Herman, Babers, Fedora, etc.

There's young,energetic, innovative coaches out there that are over-achieving with what they have and nobody around here wants them...but we'll take an old retread all day. SMH
We love nostalgia around this *****.

I agree. But one correction...not a good team...the greatests team in college football history.
Fedora is a name that I don't understand why he doesn't get more run.
He has had some real challenges at NC and he has them very competitive.

Occasional losses?

Butch Davis is 1-3 vs East Carolina. 0-2 with Miami. Look at the 1999 roster and tell me how they lost to East Carolina.

2-8 vs VaTech. 1-4 vs NC St. 2-6 vs FSU. 2-3 vs UVA. 2-3 vs GaTech.

15-17 in ACC games. These aren't occasional, these are consistent.

Probably because the man was down 33 scholarships and couldn't even run a full scrimmage or scout team. But please, carry on with your agenda

 

[Dwinstitles]

I wanted butch but im sticking to we lose four or five with whoever which is what i always said. I loved butch for the build and the fence round sfla

 

[Green5]

I still do not understand why so many people want a coach that the other >100 FBS programs don't want . If Butch is such a good coach, why hasn't any other program picked him up?

He had his opportunity but he chose the Cleveland Browns.

His age doesn't help but his main problem in finding jobs is the NCAA scandal.

 

[407cane]

How do you justify butch?

He was not known for being a good game day day coach

1-5 vs fsu

Sketchy past

Larry fedora has unc better than butch did

 

[orange&green84]

Butch will be brought up 20 years from now. Swear he carries the same cache as Jimmy Johnson and Schnelly on this board.

 

[paksat]

We should've went with Fuente truthfully

How anybody negs this is beyond me.

from what I understand it's because he's known for being a pitiful recruiter

I've seen what butch build and it took a him a while but he built an unstoppable freight train which is why I wanted him. Terrible game day coach, conservative, blah blah.. down 30+ scholarships for years and builds the greatest team ever 6 years into it that didn't lose a game for another 3 with clappy coaching them.

It was a sure thing, that's why I wanted him. Then after the ferrari is running all cylinders, then you go get a fuente or fedora or whomever

 

[FG305]

Look at the 1997 Canes: Edgerrin James, Reggie Wayne, Bubba Franks, Santana Moss, Damione Lewis, Dan Morgan, Duane Starks, Nate Webster...how does he go 5-6?

By you naming a bunch of true freshmen just goes to show how depleted the roster was especially on a defense that only had 3 returning starters:

FR- Wayne
FR- Franks
FR- Moss
FR- Lewis
FR- Morgan
FR- Reed
FR- Webster

Who were all of those true freshmen's backups? Other freshmen or scrub jr and srs?

I was totally against hiring Butch again but his early struggles were understandable...

 

[robtorres34]

Why? He has won more than 9 games once. That's unacceptable around here. Lol we would have the same record with Butch with this team. Only people that want Butch coaching anything is nostalgic Miami fans. He will never coach here again. Let it go.

I'd rather be a nostalgic miami fan than a soft loser fan of today's miami hurricanes. It's an embarrassment to be a canes fan these days. Butch is a general who has coached successful teams in the nfl and ncaa. Richt is a soft coach like golden. 15 years 0 titles at georga.

 

[Fawk_U Haters]

If Butch was the coach that some of you make him out to be then he would've been hired by someone. He's been begging for a job and no one wants to give him a chance. Why? Because outside of a 3 years stretch Butch Davis has been a career UNDERACHIEVER.

 

[jkaz1]

I wanted Butch ahead of Richt, but at the end of the day, we'll never know what he could've done this go round, so it really doesn't matter.

And having Kuligowski on Richt's staff guarantees us a solid DL every year. Perhaps Richt will re-discover how to score points on offense.

Butch should have been the guy hired to restore Miami to elite status and win championships

He still had enough talent to beat East Carolina and have a winning record.

What about 1999? The roster was stacked and he lost to East Carolina again.

What about his 15-17 ACC record?

 

[deleted3746]

One of you Butch **** riders get in here and defend how he handled leaving for Cleveland and what he did after Sean Taylor died.

He didn't accumulate 15-17 in 1999 and 2000...which was when the roster was actually stacked...

Everyone wants to say Butch built the teams. I'd argue AL Blades was more important that Butch into making the 99-02 Hurricanes. That Alpha right there wouldn't let other people be slack asses cause he'd whoop their ***. You better give your all or i am going to whip that ***. That's what were missing. Not coaching. We need Alphas that don't stand for sorry *** effort, heart, or play. Our 80s teams didn't need the motivation they were all alphas. Al Blades in my opinion in more responsible for the greatest team ever than Butch.

Moffitt too

 

[felix]

Butch the right choice? Don't think so and no other program seems to think that either. Butch is kryptonite, accept it.
