The Butch detracting is getting weird.

I understand holding out for a bigger homerun. I disagree but I get it, and would also love Gundy or Patterson.

But the anti-Butch rhetoric is pseudo-obsessive weird:

Because, and I say this as a Butch supporter, the discussions here supporting Butch are not even discussions anymore. Its a bunch of people simply screaming " BRING BACK BUTCH" OR " BUTCH. THE END."

of course some people are gonna be against that and get polarized by it.

Exactly I am Butch supporter but the BBB crew is pretty much the least knowledgeable group on this board. Basically a bunch of 5 yr olds that discuss things like 3 yo olds.

I don't want to be on the same team as a bunch of irrational retards. It cramps my style.

Rumor is that Butch himself has just asked them to go away or go support someone else because they make him look bad.

So the two of you need someone to state a case in the queens English about what makes Butch qualified to win at Miami?

Come on... Butch is a god and will go 12-0 next year and was the best game day coach ever..... GTFOH with that queens english shiat. I want to see rational discussions about him. I want to see Miami fans with actual brains.

No Fer has given a good reason why he failed at UNC or why he is unemployed or even talks about him being old. No one!

I've posted many rational posts with facts and context, but the anti butch crowd never responds to it and then repeats the same garbage that I answered in my post. They are starting to sound like the Golden support crowd where they make things up to make their point.
 
Careful, you don't want to upset the BBB crowd.

Simply put, there's a ton of holes in his resume. Some of the same things Coker, Shannon, and Al used to get slammed for, Botch gets a pass on. It is completely bizarre until you realize you're on the internet and people talk out of both sides of their mouths.

Are you really comparing Butch to those three losers? Seriously?

I am in the BBB crowd, but see his flaws. Unless we are getting a Patterson or Gundy I want Butch.

Having said that, the other tards on the board (like you) will say stupid ****.

There are some comparisons to be made.

Coker drove the bus off a cliff. Having said that, people wanted him fired for only going 9-3. I was one of those people asking for his head. Butch gets a pass though for three consecutive 8-5 seasons.

Shannon and Al get crap for their record against ACC competition. Both did better than Butch, who had the worst ACC record of them all.

Coker, Shannon, and Al all get dumped on for never winning the ACC, let alone the Coastal. All three finished higher than Butch ever did. Some finished higher than anything Butch ever did more than once, Al being one of them.

Al gets crap for his record against our biggest rival, who he never beat. Butch did the same thing while at UNC, losing four straight to NC State.

Al gets crap from the entire world for having a bunch of NFL talent on the team but little to show for it. Butch had more draft picks than Al by a significant margin and gets a pass.

People say UNC is a basketball school, wtf was Temple? Al didn't impress at Temple when you dig into it, neither did Butch at UNC, but one has excuses the other doesn't.

Coker, Shannon, and Al all were accused of missing out on S.FL talent or recruiting the wrong guys. Do tell how many S.FL recruits Butch landed. He had been a coach here, supposedly understands the culture, but couldn't land one single recruit from Dade all that time?
People talk about suspensions at UNC, excusing away the entire season. People doing that should really read up on who was lost and for how long....it isn't enough to excuse 8-5. It sure doesn't excuse the year prior where UNC went into the season ranked, to only go 8-5.

So you see, Butch gets a pass because of things he did going on a decade and a half ago. We all were on the past three coaches for a lot of the same things and deservedly so. Why does this guy get excuse after excuse made for him? Butch obviously has an eye for talent, nobody questions that. There's a reason he's been nicknamed Botch though.

Butch doesn't get any pass. The reason your post as well as the rest of the anti Butch crowd are failing is you are posting stats out of context. You act like Butch taking over a 3 win team or playing with 30 less scholarships or having a loaded roster suspended for his 4th year is the same thing as taking over a championship team or even on par with taking over some team that won 8 or 9 games the prior year. Until you guys get that, your points are worthless.

Let me ask you what your thoughts are on Harbaugh. IMO, he's a great coach and I'd love to have him be the coach of any team I root for, including the pros. Did you know that Butch's record in his first 3 years at UNC are better than Harbaugh's at Standford? This is a reasonable comparison. Both took over programs at schools with high academic standards, both took programs that were very bad, both even started in the same year. The only difference is Cali is far more fertile than UNC, Standford has more history than UNC in football, and Harbaugh didn't lose his entire team in his 4th year.

Let's play this game Harbaugh 17-20 in 3 years vs Butch 20-18. By your guy's reasoning Harbaugh is trash as well. Year 4 was a huge difference and you're trying to compare Butch in year 4 with his hands tied.

It's not that there are not reasonable Butch supporting posts, it's that the anti Butch crowd is acting the fool right now and ignoring the reasonable posts and ignoring context.

Harbaugh:
Year 1: 4-8
Year 2: 5-7
Year 3: 8-5
Year 4: 12-1 (no suspensions)

Butch:
Year 1: 4-8
Year 2: 8-5
Year 3: 8-5
Year 4: 8-5 (with multiple NFL talent players suspended)
 
Falling on deaf ears eh? I'm not talking about ancient history, everything I talk about is Botch's last stop.

You talked about suspensions at UNC, please list who was missed and for how many games. I know the numbers and it isn't enough to excuse away the entire year at 8-5. Lost his entire team? Jesus, it's unbelievable the length some will go to defending a ****** game day coach.

Yes, Stanford is a good school with real elevated admission standards for student athletes. UNC is a good school who doesn't have higher admission standards than the rest of division one. So what was your point here? There is no comparison at all other than both are quality academic institutions, but that's where the comparison ends.

Harbaugh at Stanford as a coach had a bit less experience as a coach, let alone a head coach. He had real academic standards, not the NCAA minimum stuff basically the rest of the schools use. He was still learning on the job at this level, Botch should've known at this point.

The less experienced head coach managed to get above .500 in conference his third year, something Botch never managed to do. That same year, one started out ranked at #20 (obviously someone expected something out of them) and the other didn't.

The less experienced head coach managed to finish second in his entire conference his third year while Botch never finished better than tied for third in his division. Yup, division....not the entire conference.

The talent in California is most certainly better than either of the Carolina's. Having said that, without even looking, I'd bet UNC had more people drafted than Stanford. Since that is true, what's their location have to do with anything?

History, Stanford has more? They've sucked forever and their big claim to fame I'd suppose was playing Notre Dame and Bill Walsh.

Stanford, the 50 years prior to Harbaugh arriving had four nine win seasons. They had one ten win season during that time. UNC trumps that on every level with far more success during the same span of time.

So basically I'm failing to understand how your comparison helps support Davis in any way. Harbaugh is a good coach, no question....that we can agree upon.

Rumor is that Butch himself has just asked them to go away or go support someone else because they make him look bad.

So the two of you need someone to state a case in the queens English about what makes Butch qualified to win at Miami?

Come on... Butch is a god and will go 12-0 next year and was the best game day coach ever..... GTFOH with that queens english shiat. I want to see rational discussions about him. I want to see Miami fans with actual brains.

No Fer has given a good reason why he failed at UNC or why he is unemployed or even talks about him being old. No one!

I've posted many rational posts with facts and context, but the anti butch crowd never responds to it and then repeats the same garbage that I answered in my post. They are starting to sound like the Golden support crowd where they make things up to make their point.

they sound just like liberals, ignore facts and keep regurgitating their beliefs

you guys are nitpicking like ****, the franchise and thread killa specifically

"During his first season as head coach, the 2007 Tar Heels finished 4–8, with six of those losses coming by a touchdown or less and two coming against teams ranked in the top 15 at the time. "

you nitpickers keenly leave stuff like this out, ignoring all the suspensions as well as other stuff

It wasn't directed at you or anyone specifically. This was more of a, "if the shoe fits, wear it" statement.

Keep in mind though there are plenty of rational pro Butch posts. There are also just as many ridiculous anti Butch posts. Why are people not punting that out? We've had multiple threads per day of Butch bashing from certain people who spin facts without context as if they were some shady politician.

LOL at the Butch cult comparing the abortion Harbaugh took over at Stanford to what their leader inherited at UNC. Not even close.

Remember when Harbaugh took a team of misfits who were 40 point underdogs to USC and beat Pete Carroll with the immortal Tavika Pritchard as his QB? Of course you don't because you didn't see it. That might still be the biggest upset in college football history.

When's the last time a Butch Davis led team overachieved like that? Never. Never even came close. That gave everyone who was watching a pretty good idea of what Harbaugh was going to do at Stanford.

Brush up on your history a little instead of regurgitating numbers you find through Google. Watch the games. Soak it in. Learn. Quit making asinine comparisons like Butch Davis to Jim Harbaugh.

He took a 3 win team with plenty of future NFL talent on it and magically transformed them into a 4 win team. Then he peaked out at 8 wins. No one outside of the cult is distorting or ignoring anything.

You guys keep crying about suspensions. And I keep telling you the suspensions were for taking gifts from agents, not from the academic malfeasance that predated Davis.

Davis hired Black Santa to recruit those guys. Black Santa was a well known scumbag. That's how he got the nickname Black Santa. How is Davis an innocent victim with regard to those suspensions? Ever heard of the old adage "You reap what you sow"?

You going to keep ignoring facts because you're under the spell of your cult leader? Or are you going to put that cup of Kool Aid down, shake out the cobwebs and start listening to reason?

Butch is a good football coach who would do a good job here most likely. But when he comes in and wins 8 or 9 games for a couple years and underachieves against less talented teams like he's done his entire career as a HC don't say I didn't warn you.

This ******* guy regurgitates numbers without context non stop, then tells someone else to do research and not just regurgitate numbers. First off you're a hypocrite. Secondly, ive been more than reasonable. I never guaranteed Butch is just going to come dominate,but i'll take my chances with that. If he fails, I'll feel better knowing he had a chance to prove wrong or right. Third, please show me all this talent Butch inherited for year 1? I believe he inherited 3 drafted players 1 was a 7th rounder and 1 was a sophomore on a bad team (you can stat check this one as I'm not researching off my phone).

Seriously, you are acting like a clown. You want to talk about dealing with "cult members", then direct it at someone who has not been reasonable. I'm just pointing out the facts and addressing your intentional ignorance of context.

9 guys that Butch inherited from Bunting eventually got drafted. A few were very high picks. Not exactly a dearth of talent, smart guy. Keep heel digging though. I'm sure you'll be able to sway a few more weak-minded simps into joining the cult.
 
Butch Davis is a God. None of your bloviations will change that.

Gonna be on full rustle when the King returns.
