My guy, FIU is a trash program w/ no history and we just lost to them at our old house. Everything said about Butch is a moot point right now. He also kicked our *** at UNC when UNC was a hack program. So maybe he's a hack until he plays Miami, either way, there's no excuse we should've lost to FIU, and I would definitely take a coach who has one foot in the grave over Diaz at this point. We need more, but as far as a band aid, Butch would've been just fine.
Wait, so there are people that’s happy this dude beat Miami. Man we have a weird fan base.
Alot of people seem to be happy bro.No one is happy.... it just shows what crap our program has become .
Everyone wanted to run Butch out of Miami years one through six, but he eventually got things turned around and championship-caliber.
That's not to say Diaz will succeed, or won't—but comparing a first year head coach to a guy a quarter-century past his inaugural season is off-base.
Great, an old dog had one last trick in his bag—and got a win over the inexperienced guy who hasn't found his legs yet. There's still a reason no one has touched Davis with a ten-foot pole since Cleveland—outside of a North Carolina program ready to run rogue in building a football program; which ultimately blew up in everyone's faces.
Big openings in college football over the last several years; Tennessee, Davis' alma mater Arkansas, LSU, Georgia, Texas, Auburn—even Florida and Florida State, who Davis out-recruited and eventually beat soundly when he got Miami back .... even they never gave him a look. Something stinks with the guy.
Personally, I wanted him back over Richt as he could've helped change the culture and recruit back some talent, setting a better stage for an eventual replacement—but that ship has since sailed. (Would be in his fourth year here if hired end of 2015.) Agree with you that he would've been a more than serviceable Band-Aid—but it's ludicrous to compare Diaz as first-year guy to other veterans out there.
You do realize he has no chance to win his side of CUSA even though he was picked top 2 with probably the most upperclassmen talent in the conference? Tremendous disappointment with a good team.
He's lost by double digits outright as 7+ favorite this season, has 3 losses of 28 or more, 1 as a 3 pt. underdog, and one as a favorite, and the other as an 11 pt. dog vs. an okay but nothing special rival FAU team. Basically none that on paper he should have been non-competitive in and he got boat raced
Being better than Manny Diaz doesn't make you a good coach either...This Davis has been an utter hack this season too.
call 1-800-WAA AAAH being butthurt and nonstop crying can be helped .... there are trained professionals waiting to hear from you.
You realize that Howard Schnellenberger once he left UM - NEVER won crap in college again - at lesser schools? Same guy. No more National Championships - not even in the vicinity!
You realize that Dennis Erickson once he left UM - NEVER won crap in college again - at lesser schools? Same guy that won two National Championships?
You realize that Clappy once he left UM - NEVER won crap in college again - at lesser schools? Same guy that won a National Championship - but never again came even close.
Wanna know why?
Schnelly recruited on his own - finished on his own - and left JJ with some good players with the right mindset, who were tough.
JJ relied heavily on Butch to do his evaluations and recruiting - JJ knew Butch was that good, and Butch loved recruiting. So JJ's teams were heavily evaluated and recruited by Butch Davis.
JJ"s team was handed over to Erickson - who won a National Championship his first year - with JJ's team (evaluated and recruited by Butch Davis).
Butch went on to win a Super Bowl as DC, and returned to a tanked program, 31 lost scholarships - and evaluated and recruited for himself - putting together the greatest college team of all time.
HE in turn handed his team over to Clappy - who won a National Championship HIS first year - with Butch's team. And then the program tanked as Butch's players graduated.
And here we are today. Suckingass.
Manny Diaz should have marched across the field after the third flop and planted his finger in Butch Davis' face.
Call your mammy and get her out of the men's room...
You do realize that B button turns off bold too right?
