god, the two names i hate seeing around here are butch davis and rob chudzinski. Everyone seems to romanticize that they were some kind of gods here. butch, while having one of the best eyes for talent, was an equally worse game day coach. i remember threads on grassy that sounded like the anti golden threads. at unc it was the same, good talent, ****ty game day coaching. as far as chud, since i mentioned him, if you wanna see some horrible offensive gameplans, just go watch some of his games here. talent, and talent alone made that chump look decent.
so no, butch wouldn't have been a better hire. having said that, if should hire him to some bull**** title like alabama does with their 80 coaches and be put in charge of recruiting evaluation, but for the love of god keep him away from the field on game days.
