You're FOS.
The year before Butch got to UNC, they went 3-9.
Is FOS short for Fozzy Bear because my friends in the anatomy club used to call me that? I hope it's not something hurtful or derogatory, dearest friend. Didn't John Bunting beat UM a year before he got fired at UNC, friend?
UNC and UM are the same program. The last decade has proven that. Prove me wrong on that one, close friend.
I've already provided the material here in other threads within the past twelve months.
I'm not sure of your terminology. If you're saying we both suck, yep, that's right.
I'm saying Butch built up a team from a disaster here at UM, and as his recruits graduated, our program likewise tanked.
I'm saying Butch took a never-was at UNC, began recruiting at this never-was, and his last year had to play without many of his starters, due entirely to practices entrenched at UNC for years and years. Yet in spite of losing many of his starters, he still won a lot of games, and then sent enough NFL draftees that year to tie USC for having the most NFL players drafted.
UNC and UM are not the same program. UM has a much greater recruiting backyard.
One thing is certain. Butch, unimpeded, can build a National Championship Team like no other, and unimpeded, do so fast.
There's no doubting Mr. Davis's recruiting acumen. He's proven himself to be an exceptional evaluator.
Unfortunately, during his great stretch of recruiting at UNC with all those 1st rounders he was never able to win the Coastal Division. He topped out at 8 or 9 wins every year despite building a roster with better talent than every team in the Coastal.
Now, if we are talking about racking up NFL draft picks and winning 8 or 9 games per season both Mr. Davis and Coach Golden have proven they can do that. Are you prepared to wait 5 years for Mr. Davis to build to his crescendo like he did at UM and at UNC and maybe compete for the Coastal title?
I keep hearing people making excuses for him during his last year at UNC when he got all those guys suspended, yet the same guys were crucifying Coach Golden immediately even while he was going through suspensions and ncaa drama.
I don't understand folks who speak of what they know not. Really?
You are really ignorant of the subject matter, and you may want to ignore this thread. I don't know what your agenda is, who you are, what UM coaches you're related to, or you're really that damned ignorant.
I otherwise don't understand why you elect to remain ignorant of the facts, taken in context, in total. Why do you do that?
1. Butch did not get all those UNC players suspended, and there were like five separate investigations by the NCAA, and elements of UNC, and they all found that what occurred - preceded Butch Davis - and that he had zero complicity in each of the multiple investigations. Governor's investigation, UNC investigations, Secretary of State's investigation, NCAA investigations. All findings supported the fact that Butch was pretty much blindsided.
Chancellor Emeritus of UNC post-investigations wrote, "the ultimate outcome of the UNC process has been most unfair to Butch Davis."
So why would you resort to this lie? This misrepresentation? Are you that ignorant, or are you related to a coach here who's for damned certain going to be looking for a job this Winter?
2. In Butch's fourth year at UNC, 13 of his players were suspended - many were starters. He STILL went 8-5.
3. The team at UNC went 3-9 when Butch took over, and yes, it was harder to recruit for UNC. It took him four years, and had his players not been suspended, he'd likely have won ten games - and everyone in college football knew it.
4. Butch's first year at UNC, he reaped a top ten recruiting class. Between 2007 and 2008, he had the 6th best turnaround season in the country. After his second year at UNC, they'd won more games than in the five years before Butch got there.
Of course, Butch while at Miami recruited an amazing 28 first round picks in six years. Early on, had two first round picks at UNC.
4. In all six years at UM and four at UNC, Butch was recognized by the AFCA for outstanding graduation rates.
It's not someone's fault if they're mentally retarded.
But it IS someone's fault if they remain that way. On purpose.
That's why I disregard every post of yours, as you have zero credibility - and are compelled to outright fabrications to make a point.
