I propose Butch Davis for Asst HC-Defense/Recruiting Coordin

[FrancisSawyer]

He might actually bite. It maybe his only way back in. The guy has his deficiencies as a HC but in this proposed role we would be getting all off the positives of having him without the negative stuff. Richt would handle the offense. Butch is no spring chicken so if he still loves the U and really wants to help bring us back then he just might swallow his pride and come aboard in the aforementioned capacity.

Butch is a friend of the program and part of the family and he is a resource. Use your resources. Do it! And yes I know it's not probable but I don't think it is nearly as far fetched as some would think.

No, that's a terrible idea, he wou...oh sorry. Yeah, that's an amazingly good idea. Doubt he'd take it, but I'd be all for it.

just hand us the ACC title.

This would be amazing. A home run!

But from what we have seen from the BoT and Flake, Butch is probably persona-non-grata at UM.

Yeah, I see what you mean but I'm not so sure that he is persona-non-grata at UM. This is just speculation on my part but I get the feeling that his chat with Frenk and his interview which I am told was amazing did a ton to get him back in UMs good graces. This and the fact that a very influential faction of the BOT and big money donors wanted him.

I realize this is probably considered a pipe dream type scenario by most but I really think he would listen if they pitched it correctly. Just imagine how much pressure this would take of Richt thus allowing him the piece of mind to do what he does best which is coach up the QBs and call the plays.

When people perceive you as a threat, particularly when they recognize your potential greatness,
the first thing they will do is assassinate your character. This not only effects your present position,
it also damages your chances of succeeding in the future. (It's like trying to get hired with a past felony.)

This is what happened to Miami, it wasn't punished for it's violations, it was dismantled for it's dominance.
When Butch resuscitated the Hurricanes of old - He became the Prometheus of college football.

 

[cane_boi]

Would Butch accept a position other than head coach at this point?

the college football world would be shook. im talking Urban & Saban sayin oh ****.

Excellent post! Right on the mark!

Hate to say it but butch is done man. He likely won't coach again but he has a good job up at espn.

I don't know but it's worth a run up the flagpole. At this stage does he have much choice? The guy obviously misses coaching and he obviously loves UM. This would give him the opportunity to coach again at the school he loves and the platform for him to make his last mark on the game.

dont' get me wrong. I'd be all for butch as DC

but do you think thats a healthy working relationship, a guy in butch who wanted to be HC and a lot of the fan base wanted that and now if you have him as a DC
there might be tension there caused by the fanbase

Great post and right on the money!

I wish there were more intelligent, sane posters on this board. You are one of the few awake ones. The majority of this board is still asleep at the wheel.

That's a very interesting and valid point. Sure it could be a distraction but in the end, I don't think so. I would think having Butch come on board in the capacity I suggested would placate the most hardcore of the BBB crowd IMO.

Another thing is that this should not be pitched as being a DC. This opportunity should be presented to him with the emphasis on Assistant Head Coach/Defense which is a much better sounding title. You could also include an additional title of Recruiting Coordinator. Then make him one of if not the highest paid asst in college football. I think it's a solid plan. It's most certainly worth a try.

Like the death rattle of an elderly consumptive man, when Richt and UM has gone down the list and hired every conceivable position that Butchy could actually fill-in for, we will finally be left with ideas that he should be hired to clean the Urinals in the Hecht or perhaps come on board as a fluffing-consultant whereby he makes visits to "our boys" on the 7th floor before rivalry games and eases their nerves the night before by giving them a tender hand job before they lazily fall asleep and dream of a nude Brett Romberg. Yes, at least we are allowing ole Butch to make his final ride to the pearly gates with his dignity fully in tact...."hey Butch can you go put some coffee on, Mark is tired and may need a foot rub."

For one last time, and like anyone on this board with a shred of intelligence has been pummeling into your small brains for 6 months, Butch Davis will never, and under no capacity, will ever be associated in any way with the UM football program. Ever. Period. Never. From the words of someone quite powerful in this process (I assure you) when asked about Butch's real chances, the response was "oh for ***** sake, next question."

You know what happens to so called "intellectual warriors" such as yourself in war?

You **** yourself as you see your opponents blade swiftly heading towards what soon will be a gaping hole, in what will soon be what is left of your skull as your carcass slowly falls, limp and lifeless to the ground.

In those last fleeting nano-seconds you will expound on how being better trained and tougher could have saved you from this unfortunate ending.

If only you hadn't spent all of your extra time trying to be the world's biggest elitist douche bag, you could have propably saved your own life.

Alas, you and that ******, elitist friend of yours that sits on the BoT, can rely on your status and your money. Until one day, the grim reaper comes for your @$$e$, and then you realize, you're only mortal, just like the rest of us.

So, in the simplest way that I can put it...

Go suck a big black **** and choke on it, you sniveling little, yes man, Hecht ******.

Thank you, my brother!

If there's one thing I can't stomach, it's elitist, *** kissing pansies. Especially ones that have anything to do with UM's so called blue bloods.

Assuming they could put their egos aside and get the job done this could be a dream team!!! The rest of the college football world look out.
