Miami was under probation and UNC's program is not better than the current rich SEC.
Butch Davis was not average. At Miami, the 3 assistants he hired and developed became future NFL head coaches (Chud, Pagano, Schiano), and 2 became College Head Coaches (Shannon, Coker). He recruited and developed the greatest team of all time that was loaded with record 1st round NFL draft picks. If there is even a shot at him doing this again, why the **** wouldn't people be in on it.
If the hiring was based on age, then so be it. But at 64, he still has a few good years left and his experience is at peak level.
Richt is the safe hire. Conservative. Typical U part 3 hire. Every year Georgia has disappointed in the weak SEC East but won just enough so that he could keep his job.
