Don't forget, until 2000 he was 0-12 against FSU, VT, and ECU.... The revisionism crazy around here. ****, I LIKED Butch, and was patient with him. People now act like they were always a huge fan of him, but many are the same impatient baby types who were either flying a banner then, or would have. I wouldn't mind having Butch back, but to act like he didn't have his flaws is beyond crazy. The main reason I'd like him back is because he'd stock the talent back up again. Golden is doing a decent job at getting NFL caliber talent on the roster again, but Butch would do an even better job. Still, I have always thought that Miami can compete for titles with a coach that can out scheme their opponents, because we will always have talent. Only bad coaches need to have far superior talent, and I mean FAR superior talent, at UM to win a title. Larry Coker for example. There is a good chance Miami never have that type of talent advantage again, even with Butch. Give me a smart coach that can out think the other team, not just out talent them. Because we WILL have talent, and when the coaching is better, we WILL win big again.
Love all of the Butch adulation from the same fanbase that not only ripped him every single season he was the UM HC, but
bannered him as well.
The revisionism is rich.
