best article ever....ed reed man.....greatest CANE ever
Like others have said, feel so fortunate to have been able to watch that group. Ed Reed is the absolute GOAT Hurricane.
Butch Davis built it, set it up, and even the players admit - everything was on automatic for 2001.
Sure wish we could get him back.
Just out of curiosity did you want Butch fired back then before things started to turn around.
Not trying to start a war just want a honest answer because i'll admit after losing to Az State at home and ECU and a couple other losses I was wanting him fired before the 99 season began
Honesty. I didn't. Sports Illustrated covers talking about closing down the program, bad press everywhere, and the sanctions we got were pretty hard. I sincerely was grateful that we didn't get the SMU sudden death.
So I knew the sanctions, I knew we were going to lose some ten scholarships for three consecutive years, and assumed we'd lose some serious games, just by being outmanned. I was pleasantly surprised that we did as well as we did, and Butch endeared himself to a lot of us by hanging tough.
A lot of folks were mad when he left, but all Miami had to do was meet him halfway on the buyout. That was the only thing left undone on the contract, and the U were dragging their feet on it, knowing good and well that they had Butch over a barrel. They siht on him and let him know he needed Miami, but Miami didn't need Butch.
No man would put up with that, especially after all the hard work he'd done through some really suckass times.
So when today, with everyone a bit more mature and a bit more reasonable, and I hear that Butch would LOVE to come back? It's a no-brainer! Fifteen years with Jimmy Johnson, five at Oklahoma State, five at Miami, five at the Cowboys - and the fact that he carefully selected loads of talented self-starters with great work ethics, the fact that he made the utmost of what limited numbers he had, and STILL put together (arguably) three national championship teams - shows he knows what the **** he's doing.
Wow what a load of ****

Please expound.
I wasn't sure about Butch after '98. And when I thought Schiano had called for press-man with no safety help for the Chafie Fields play (Ed Reed phucked that up, moot anyway Kenny Kelly got that **** First Down!) I wanted the whole bunch of them gone. But after driving up to Trailerhassee and watching that game live, and hearing about how great that Nole team was supposed to be; I knew we were right there. I told my brother on the way home, we didn't have thehorses to hang for four quarters this year, but we'll get that *** next year in the OB. We **** near all died of dehydration (thank God for the upper deck shade, I don't know how those poor souls without it survived) but we got em.
Bring that man back. You think he's lost his eye for talent or drive?

100% agreement here. I started following the Canes in like 1999, and by 2000, I was pretty hardcore for a freshman in high school in Goose Creek, SC without internet access (Thank God for NCAA Football). 2001 was obviously a huge year. Then came 2002, and f'n Sean Taylor hit the scene, and UM football being crack cocaine for me.
As far as Ed Reed, I've always preferred Sean to him, but since watching Najeh's documentary, and this article, I'm truly understanding who the "f" Ed Reed is and was to this program. Dude is UM football.

And people can use revisionist history all they want but hardly any Cane fans were on the Butch wagon until 2000.
This post has nothing to do with Golden, as he is no Butch and I want him gone.

Ill expound quickly by saying that if you people think that golden is getting a lot of heat now, it was nothing like butch, everybody wanted Butch out, so for this guy to sit there and say that he wasn't against Butch, especially given his history of how he reacts to coaches is complete BS
things would have been very different today had Butch never left. **** what could have been.
