Butch Davis was the Right Choice

What would Butch's record be this season? What he do with the awful OL? As great as he was at evaluating talent it wouldn't make a difference this season. Bill Parcells or Joe Bugel couldn't turn this group around.

At the end of the day it really doesn't matter because we KNOW where the team would end up under Butch. Gameday corching or not.

Richt has never even sniffed they type of rooster that Butch put together. And he never will. He doesn't have "that dog" in him. (pun intended)

That "Greatest Team EVER" thing isn't hyperbole. It's actual fact.
 
I wonder what Butch's philosophy would've been in terms of what type of offense he would run. College football has changed a bit in terms of tempo and many teams going spread since he last coached. Would he have adapted to that?

It's really a shame he didn't fulfill his destiny at UM and bolted to Cleveland. He had a lot of early foibles at UM( he was literally the worst clock/game manager Ive seen at Miami) but he built a powerhouse by 2000. History has shown that talent procurement was the least of his issues

Botch would have won a few NCs. And then bolted for the NFL.

Botch would have botched the BC & VT games

Botch would have botched the 2001 BC & VT games.. And who gives a **** about a stacked roster if you aren't going to win it all..

Butch's rooster DID win it all and should have won 2 in a row.


WTF are you even rambling about?

You sound like my uncle Roscoe.

Maybe. But just because Larry Coker nearly blew those games doesn't mean Butch would have. Butch was a better coach than Coker. We also don't know who would replaced Schiano as DC. Butch likely would have promoted Pagano. Coker would have remained as OC. The Butch staff would been better than Coker's staff.

And let's not forget how self-motivated the 2001 team was.

My personal belief is Butch would have won both the 2001 and 2002 NCs, held Miami up for more money, and then left for the NFL. He would have accomplished everything in college, and having won Super Bowls as an assistant he would wanted a shot as Head Coach.

Why would you complain about that?

What did he win though? No one is denying he put together that team.. What makes you think he'd come close to doing that again with the recruiting game being much diff than it was when he was at Miami?

Let's say he is what you think he is, why is no one calling him? What other school not being Alabama and Ohio st, wouldn't want a stacked NC roster.. Is every other AD across America just dumb?

No complaint at all. I'd take that accomplishment any day.

Don't mistake me for a Butch hater. I would have supported his hiring over the other corches like Schiano and Mullen.

No.

Let's talk about the team he assembled here at MIAMI you dumbass.

Why is no one calling him? Your ignroance is showing through.

His son's email is easily found. I used it. I know.

Butch only want's one coaching job.

UM


lick my scrot
 
Herman, Petrino, Butch, and even Saban himsef would be 4-3 with this roster.

The stupidity mistaken for logic never ceases to amaze me.
 
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.

So who put together a better NCAA football team than Butch Davis.

I'll stay on the line......

butch put together the best collection of future nfl talent, yes, but his TEAMS weren't that good. his TEAMS never play to their level of talent. like i said, i'd take him as a talent scout/recruiting director type but not as a head coach.

Since Clappy won the 2001 with Butch's players, when Butch couldn't, you're saying that Clappy was a better HC than Butch? Makes sense!

Perhaps the NCAA should be petitioned to allow a new Talent Scout position?
 
Why aren't other universities throwing themselves at Butch Davis?

Before Richt signed with Miami, Virginia and Maryland already made moves on Richt and that was in a very short amount of time.

Just what we need!

Corches that are wanted by 2 of the WORST athletic departments in the country football wise.


Nice work.

Fer fvcks sake! Virgania replace Mike London (one of the worst ever) with Bronco Mendenhal.

Get a ******* GRIP youngin

So name me who else was looking in that 48 hour time frame, please.
 
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.

You are full of schit. Butch hasn't been beggin for any job EXCEPT The U.

Take your g@y ****** no knowledge schit somewhere else.

I cant hear you clearly while you are gargling Butch's seamen. Please either swallow or spit before you try to communicate.
 
Me personally I would have made Herman turn me down.
He was what I think UM needed. Accending coach with actual accomplishments.
I'm a fan of Butch but all he's flaws are real and to think he could replicate what happened the first time was unrealistic to me.
Ritch is what he is...he is a professional coach and over the life of he's contract I believe the program will be managed better than it has been for the last decade.
So the optimist in me hopes that Ritch will incrementally improve the program the point of top 15 consistancy and by the time we get to do this search thing again we will be in great shape.
The pessimist in me knows Ritch is it until he choses to retire so it better work.

Are you on the record saying that?

Or are you one of those guys that waits till schit has already happened to tell everyone what he would have done?

On record
