He either aided in widespread academic fraud or has his head so firmly in the sand to not know that it would constitute negligence.. however, based on everything you hear about Butch being on top of players and culture, there is no way he did not know what was going on.I think it’s amazing sometimes the perception that people make about Willie. Especially in what you said about his academics and demeanor. I wish things turned out different for him.
I’ll never forget how upset I was the day Smith signed with FSU. How did that even go down? Didn’t his mom want him at Miami?
it’s funny that some posters on other boards said Butch would have been a repeat of other unsuccessful coaches making a return had he been hired over Richt. He is 69 but would have recruited an entire program of kids heading into this year. And Im sure we would be loaded.
Coach got screwed at UNC.
He hired John Blake knowing his shady reputation.
Then he negatively recruited Miami to Marcus Forston, at best claiming Shannon would be gone in a year, and at worst using ST's murder as a reason to leave the area.
I know the board and administration played a HEAVY role in his departure and bears the vast majority of the blame, but he played a part too in how he left. Enough with the poor Butch nonsense.
