According to CBS http://www.cbssports.com/college-fo...ach-rankings-power-five-coaches-ranked-65-26/ Of the guys ranked ahead of him, I don't think I'd take Fedora or Fleck over Butch. I wouldn't take Freeze, but it has nothing to do with coaching ability, just the fact that Freeze is a sorry piece of shit. Sumlin seems like a consistent 8-4 guy too, so I don't know if I would take him either. His teams play sloppy, unorganized football.
Maybe so, but he really did a nice job at his last stop. Butch has done nothing but ride Brian Kelly's coattails and make promises he can't keep in order to look good on National Signing Day.
I won't argue with it. Pretty good recruiter, builds some excitement, kind of a dunce at schemes and gameday planning, mostly keeps the program between the ditches. That's middle of the pack, which is probably a lot farther from the front of the pack than most people realize.
I'd hope so. We've got a top 100 coach on our hands. If he were a recruit, that would make him a 4 star. Hopefully we bump up his buyout as well.
