Well, It's Official: **** Butch Davis

[WhatTheHell]

The Church of Butch Davis followers have made the Golden Girls look tame by comparison. Good God get a hold of yourselves. I've never seen a group of people delude themselves this much. It's like one giant fish story that continues growing more exaggerated as they try to outmatch each other. The mythical tale of Butch Davis has reached hilarious levels.

Listen, if we strike out on established and accomplished college football coaches that have roamed a sideline within the last 5 years, I'm all for falling back on Butch Davis. But the delusional party tearing down more accomplished candidates to champion upright cadaver Butch Davis has reached satirical levels. I can't even tell who's joking and who's trying to outdo fellow members of the Church of Butch Davis anymore.

This reminds me of Florida fans demanding Steve Spurrier's return in 2005. They wanted to recapture the glory years and go with the familiar name. They were drunk off nostalgia and couldn't see straight. Luckily for them, their AD hired Urban Meyer and that "****amamie Mickey Mouse offense" of his, and he ran over the SEC and college football. 11 wins a year and 2 National Championships later, those fans dying to recapture the past and lacking the ability to adapt with the times and evolve are glad they were overruled by logic.

As you Butch Davis parishioners sit outside on the porch tonight, taking turns shouting "in my day!..." and clamoring for leather helmets and a "pro style offense," pray to your freckled God that men with more vision and foresight than you take control of this hire. Pray that they help turn Miami into a powerhouse once again, not an old man chasing past ghosts of greatness.

It's Butch or they should just shut it down.

 

[OBLIVION]

Butch use to take beatings on these forums and now the guy was responsible for JJ and Erickson success. Won 34 straight games at Miami while coaching from Cleveland. The guy should be up for every job in the country with that resume. Butch should demand 10 million a year just to taste his bath water.

 

[The Franchise]

Hallelujah! These kooks have managed to turn me on Davis. They're so nuts and cultish that I can't possibly support someone that they're so lathered up over.

Like you said, if we strike out on every great option possible, then, yeah, fall back on Davis. He's definitely better than Mario, and I even like him better than a guy like Miles because he has the same strengths and weaknesses, and you could get him for half the cost leaving more money to possibly hire an OC that would save him from himself.

But these cultist kooks have credited Butch with 4 of our 5 NCs and have even given him credit for JJ's success. They want nothing to do with discussing his most recent desultory body of work. They're mentally ill.

I think what your missing [MENTION=3355]WhatTheHell[/MENTION], is that recruits actually wanna play for Butch. I'll agree, Butch wasn't the best game day coach, but I think with him being an analyst, his understanding is different. I believe he will also put together a really good staff to cover over his deficiencies as a game day coach. He'll stock the cupboard full and get the program back going. Don't see what all the hate is about.

But he's not...

Since it appears the majority of the big money boosters support Butch, your support isn't likely to affect the matter.

Chise, I think what frustrates you is that deep down, you also know the decision is pretty much a foregone conclusion.

 

[WestGaCane]

Butch Davis!!!

 

[FullyERicht]

Amen WTH.

If any of you are NFL fans, this is identical to what it was like for Broncos and Jets fans during Tebow mania. I'm not exaggerating it's the same exact thing. People were legit saying how the Broncos shouldn't bring in Manning bc Tebow was better. B/C "At Florida Tebow was a winner and is a bigger winner than anyone in football".

I'm not at the point where I might even be ****ed if we hired him b/c these idiots have made me realize he's a past his prime relic.

The hate stems from the fact that most of the Butch Zombies would take Butch over Chip Kelly or similar.

That is about as delusional as you can get.

Foregone conclusion but the unemployed guy who could start working tomorrow still isn't hired. Yeah.

 

[Stingarov]

I'm all about Butch but have zero issues with the intent, and content, of this post. It should all be toned down.

Its 2015. Miami is 15 years removed from it's last title. If the coach comes in and doesn't win within the first couple of seasons, the cupboard will not get stocked b/c in 2015, kids don't want to play for mediocre programs.

This isn't 1996 where Miami coaches are able to get to know players better than any other staff. Cell phones and social media killed that years ago. Do you realize how different it was back then? A kid with an offer from Auburn got one in the mail, and the Auburn coaches had to hope and pray he A) had a phone line B) he picked up when they called. They couldn't text him after every win or tweet him or facebook him. So when Miami was ****** in 1997 we still had the massive upper hand bc the HC could come to the recruits school every **** weekend and built a relationship that no other school could touch.

THAT WAY IS OVER FOLKS. Now, if a kid has an offer from Auburn, he likely has just as much contact and relationship with them as he does the local team. That means the selling point for that kid is going to come down to HOW THE TEAM IS PLAYING. Yes, kids will come here bc of the brand and the location, but if the team sucks then all we have to draw kids is some documentary of how things were. You aren't "out relationship-ing" schools for SoFla recruits anymore. Technology ended that.

So you have to win. And win fast.

And yet, here you and Archer are, in every thread.

 

[Juanka]

Who wouldn't want a Gary Patterson, Chip Kelly, or Mark Dantonio? What I don't get as how some can hate on Butch, start thread over thread on him on how he sucks, and hasn't accomplished crap. That's BS. Those sanctions in the 90's were real sanctions that were meant to kill the program, and only a handful of coaches could have pulled off what Butch did. Does it sound like I living in the past? Maybe... But the man did prove he can win here, ---->CLEVELAND<----, and in NC.

That's pretty much where I'm at.

I have Butch just after Chip, Gundy, and Mullen. He's in my top 5. I'm just pointing out and laughing at the cult members who have worked themselves into such a frenzy that they attempt to tear down more accomplish coaches to prop up Butch. It's bordering on insanity at this point.

Yearning for glory and focusing on the past has led to a romanticizing of Butch that has turned him into some mythical figure who descended down to Coral Gables from Mount Olympus. Time and nostalgia are a dangerous thing. We're dealing with an idealized version of Butch created out of desperation to recapture something in this program's past.
