Hey, sorry the memo hasn't been accepted by the Butch is God club. Lest you forget, he headed a program that was knee-deep in an academic scandal. Never something college presidents want to see on a head coaches resume. His right-hand man/bag man John Blake was caught brokering players to an agent, as well as former players acting as middlemen. And Butch's rep from his NFL days was so bad he hasn't been able to land a job in the league. Thus, he has been on the sideline longer than an unrecruited walk-on.
Hey, dip****.
I didn't ask what those near him may have done.
I said stipulate one, single NCAA finding of a violation by Butch Davis.
I once was walking in a grocery store door as a gunman/robber was backing out. We were two feet apart - so yes. I was there. But I didn't have s*** to do with it.
I'll try to take it slow and explain again. The head coach is responsible for what happens around the program as well as actions of his assistants. So if John Blake goes bag man, then it reflects on Butch. It's why he can't get a job. Your analogy comes up short in that Butch hired the gun man and went in the store hand-in-hand. It's why Butch is reduced to playing Lou Holtz sans lisp.
I'll type this even slower.
That UNC scandal was investigated by UNC, who determined Butch was not involved.
The UNC scandal was investigated by the North Carolina Attorney General, and it was determined that this practice of violations was in place for over a decade before Butch arrived, and further, found that Butch Davis was not involved.
The NCAA investigated the UNC scandal, and found likewise - that this practice of slide classes had been operating for over a decade before Butch got there, that half of the attendees that took those classes were athletes, and further found that Butch Davis was blameless in the matter.
I haven't seen Butch put in for other coaching jobs. I haven't seen him apply and get turned down. I don't know Butch's business, but just because I haven't taken a job as a resident genius, doesn't mean I've applied and have been turned down. Maybe I just pulled myself off the market for a while - especially when I was still getting some good paychecks.
bacane, you're completely FOS if you think every head coach has a crystal ball and an all-seeing eye, especially when the primary violations came from the faculty side of things, and that this practice was in place for many years before Butch got there.
rudebuddha, it's one thing to repeat things picked up by rote. That's how idiots learn their history. They hear something, they repeat it, and after they repeat something enough, they actually start to believe it.
The biggest idiots ignore the First Rule of Bullsh**ing. Never start believing your own bullsh**.
