Someone mention Butch Davis da gawww?
Yawn. Butch was recruiting Miami kids when our brand had never been higher. (4 titles in 10 years).
Richt is having to recruit Miami kids while our brand is worse than it's ever been in the modern era (15 year drought).
You're clearly a pup or a Gator fan. Completely FOS.
How was our brand not on top of CFB by the mid 90s? It was us and FSU.
Yes we went on probation, but as far as kids were concerned we were the bad boys of CFB and they all wanted to play for us (so much so that some agreed to come to Miami on a fvckin track scholarship just so they could play football at The U).
Almost got the death penalty. Didn't have enough players for practice scrimmage.
Again - who are you and what are you doing on a Canes board?
Obviously the fvckin scholarships lost made the rebuild incredibly difficult. I'm just talking about our image at the time.
Nothing I said was meant to discredit the job Butch did. But those who act like he would walk into Miami today and kill it on the recruiting trails are delusional. It's not cool to play at miami right now. The SEC is what's trendy.
