Worst loss in program history

I feel like I’m in a nightmare that started with a yellow flag in 2002 and I’m just waiting to wake up. it really is crazy how far we have fallen and can’t even get close to getting it right. Failure after failure. It’s frustrating as ****. We’ve become a joke of a program.

Here's the best part. Absolutely no changes will be made except " back to basics in practice". Lol AD needs some revamping. If the BoT won't pony up this is the program we just all have to get used to

Manny Diaz is a clown show and Butch Davis is an average football coach at this stage of the game.

Look how awful he has done in conference at FIU and his time at UNC.

He was great at Miami and made the mistake of going to Cleveland which was a poor business decision.

With his lack of success since Miami it makes this loss even worse.

Manny Diaz is the worse coach in program history and that is saying something.

Butch is the most successful coach in FIUs short history, which include Cristobal, even at his advanced age. Crazy enough, he believes in a modern offense more then Manny.

I don’t think he’s the ultimate answer but he would have been a massive upgrade over Golden, Richt, Diaz.

You really don't understand the concept of honor or integrity. Butch Davis did not win an ounce of respect from most of college football. If he ever had a chance of returning to P5, he blew it.

It is against the rules in college football to fake injuries. Refs won't ever call it because they have to err on the side of caution. Faking injuries is explicitly banned in the NFL and is 100% viewed as cheating.

Butch Davis just blatantly cheated to win a football game. If you want to crown him, then go ahead. Just please don't have any children. We have enough ****ty dishonest people in this world.

TB, I have to disagree w u bro; CFB have no such rule. It’s more of an unwritten rule among college coaches. Regardless, if we using this as the reason we lost, brotha...that’s an issue. We still had possession of the ball & we called those plays.

This. I was in the skybox next to Frenk and he maybe caught 30 seconds of the game. He was on his phone the entire **** time. Now to me it looked like he couldn’t possibly care less about what was going on, on the field. He was writing a novel of a text to someone. Even crazier was that Shalala was in the box with him.

1000% not the reason we lost. But it reflects very poorly on Butch Davis. And it IS in the rule book.


Page FR-11

"Feigning an injury for any reason is unethical. An injured player must be given full protection under the rules, but feigning injury is dishonest, unsportsmanlike and contrary to the spirit of the rules. Such tactics cannot be tolerated among sportsmen of integrity."
 
Ask yourself this question. If we swapped coaching staffs with FIU a week ago, do we win the game?

By how many points?

If your first answer is yes, and the answer to the second is a large number, then you should quit torturing yourself every weekend and refuse to support this University and their bull**** athletic department.

Four Million Dollar Manny will be our coach in 2020, will you still be a fan?

They repeated several times during our games, after speaking to a rules analyst that it was not against the rules to fake an injury to stop play. It’s highly frowned upon, though.

It is clearly prohibited by NCAA rules. The issue is that it is impossible for a referee to make an in-game determination if an injury is legit or not. It can't be enforced during play. It's something the NCAA would have to deal with after the game. A coach could also teach his defensive players to yell "hike" and throw off the snap count. If other coaches heard about it, they'd lose a lot of respect for the coach. This isn't a life or death battlefield. It's a sports competition. Hence the word sportsmanship. At the very least it's poor sportsmanship and bush league..

Maybe you've heard the old story about Don Shula (it's a true story). Before a game (I think it might have been the Super Bowl) one of his players found the opponent's playbook. It had been accidentally left behind. The player immediately went to the opponents locker room and gave them back the playbook. Afterwards someone asked the player why he didn't give the playbook to his coaches. His response was that every player on the Dolphins knew Coach Shula would have been disgusted by the idea of needing to cheat to win.

Put it another way: Let's say your kid was in little league baseball and the opposing coach yelled "swing" at batters every time his pitcher threw a ball. If his response was, "Hey man, it's not against the rules. I'll do whatever it takes to win." Most dads would give that guy a beating.

Anyways, like I said- I'm old fashioned. I would have absolutely lauded Davis for beating Miami straight up. But what I saw was grimy. To me at least, the way he won says a lot more to me about Butch Davis's character than the fact that he beat Manny Diaz.
