Safe to say that no matter how many wins next year, Butch would have had one more. Unless we go undefeated. Butch would have done that too, but his recruiting class would have been ranked higher.
Let's face it anyone b*tching about this hire is a lunatic, just think about it Miami wasn't hiring Butch because of their "concerns", I don't think he ever had a legit chance, if we didn't hire richt we would have gotten a much worse coach with schiano. Would you have been satisfied then?...
Banners calling for Fraulden's firing, and replacement by Butch, put a gun to the BOT's head. They did fire the fraudster, and had to replace him with someone comparable to Butch, if not Butch. However, Butch himself might have been doomed by the banners. The BOT might not have wanted to be perceived as being too influenced by the rabble.
At the very minimum, Butch served as the talent barometer for a head coach. The search committee might have been charged with finding someone comparable to Butch. Then Richt fell into their lap.
In the end, the banners, and Butch, were instrumental in getting us a new competent coach.
Butch was instrumental in us hiring Richt? Good stuff.
These guys are hilarious. This guy says they've moved on from Butch but keep bringing him up. That the banners were instrumental in firing Al. The reality is most members of the media called them morons. The banners allowed us to vent our frustration and let everyone one know we were unhappy but what got Al fired was more and more empty seats at the games An increasingly angry fan base blowing up the business phones of BOT's such as Stewart Miller and Paul DiMare. Then after Al's signature 58-0 loss the pitchfork mob that was preparing to march out in front of the Hecht Center and former players who had organized and were planning on walking into the Hecht Center and demand he be fired were all factors in Al getting fired.
What pitchfork mob? What former players marching into the Hecht? Media calling fans morons? That's the pot calling the kettle black. What a bunch of revisionist hogwash.
As to the inane Butch comment, it's ironic that the Butch haters do not hesitate in besmirching his good name at any opportunity. Then they bytch.
Obviously, too many POTATOES here have yet to realize that Richt is the new HC. STFU already, and get behind him.
What indication in his coaching Career would lead you to believe he is going to go 7-6?
Of course any coach going 7-6 we would see. This guy is the most successful coach this program has ever hired

Very prolific offense, which always lost to us unless we were on probation. I don't know how long you've been a Hurricane fan but in my crew we use to have non-stop jokes about richtirement when he was a criminole.If you are counting a title for a team where Butch didn't even coach that season then you can also count 2 titles Fsu won in large part because of richts prolific offenses he ran in the 90s. It's no secret why Fsu win percentage and overall success as a program sputtered as soon as richt left...
This is the most popular hire in the history of UM all sports. If you don't feel it, I can't help you.
What is this *** ****?
