Real talk on Butch Davis

[Stingarov]

If it is down to Herman or Butch... High-class problem. Thank god Golden is gone.

Yep.

 

[Ray Ciss]

My recollection of Butch was that he had to have at least a 7 point talent advantage in order to win. His teams underperformed and won on talent. That's doable for getting into the ACCCG but not for winning the NC.

Yes, I remember this about Butch. But I'm certain he has learned a few things about game day coaching and has ID'd people that can help him be successful.

DISCLAIMER: I love Butch Davis and am firmly entrenched in the camp that knows he's the best HC in football.

Did I miss something? Honestly. Not trying to be funny here.

Butch is the best "more with less" coach that's ever come through UM. He won 18 games in 98' & 99' running on fumes. Did you not hear the man say that Ed Reed's only other offers were from HBCUs like Grambling St. & Southern? Moss was a little used HS WR, that was headed to Eastern Kentucky. Wayne wasn't highly rated. Butch didn't get a transformational class till 2000. Stop it.

So now Ed Reed, Santana Moss and Reggie Wayne are "less". Duly noted.

Reggie, Ed and Santana all came here in 1997. I think that's one transformational class before 2000. By 1998 and 1999 and 2000 these weren't "less" but guys well into their careers. Doing more with less? Pleeze.

LMFAO! Like I said, Wayne wasn't All-World coming outta HS. Santana was a track guy turned WR. Reed didn't blow up till He was a Jr.. Daryl Jones was another track guy turned WR...and then you had Andre King who came over from minor league baseball. Dude said "transformational class before 2000"...LMFAO! That 2000 team was a bunch of overachievers, mixed with the talent of that 2000 class. In summary Butch did more with less buddy, you should stop while you're ahead.

 

[stormsurge]

I should stop while I'm ahead?

I don't think you wrote what you intended to write.

 

[BigDikCane]

Gotta go with Butch. He has something to prove while chitting on the NCAA at the same time..

Right because Tom Herman has proven enough.

 

[iLoveTDs]

I remember Larry Coker saving many jobs while HC at Miami. Bunting at UNC comes to mind. There were others.

Wow.... No words

 

[Cane Dynasty]

Butch Davis is the clear and obvious choice.
