It's a sad day that we live in, everybody wants and expects immediate results. No one wants to endure the growing pains that it takes to climb out of the gutter. How quickly we have forgotten how low the program fell. I enjoy the energy that Butch brings and his old school mentality mixed with new school innovative processes, i.e. sleep monitoring etc. I think Butch is trying everything he can to succeed and will find a way to put it all together. Sorry that I'm not sorry that the truth offends you; youth is a legitamite concern with our team and Butch has every right to mention it. Every thing that he does has a purpose and more often than not he is recruiting, even if it is subtle. Where you think recruits might get turned off by his use of players, I think recruits see that and say, hey I have a chance to come in and be the guy bc no one is stepping up and standing out. Also, let's be clear about one thing, this is not a government position or a publicly traded company and you do not have the right to unlimited access to information that you desire. You may not agree with Butch controlling the information that makes it out and you can be mad as hell about it but that doesn't make your opinion correct or even valid. We get it, you don't think he will be elite. You made the exact same point 15 times and just spun it a different way. For the tl:dr crowd, read the title and there is your synopsis. You have your opinion and I have mine, both of them are inconsequential and only time will tell the true story. However, reading your post, whether right or wrong, I have gathered that you had early success in your writing career and are biased toward the media and the access that "should" be afforded to them and it drives you crazy that Butch has limited that. You also come across as a spoiled brat who is used to getting everything that he wants and who belittles anyone for having a differing opinion than your own. I agree with some of your points but we can't keep calling for coaches heads when they don't win immediately. Take a step back and look at the big picture, we are trending in the right direction. Butch's philosophies are on point, you start with a foundation and build a culture. When we finally have seniors that he has actually recruited and have been in the program and around the culture long enough, the tough wins will come. Saturday was tough. I am still so upset that we lost that game. However, I see the steps Butch is taking and we will get there. We were just a few plays away from winning that game against a team that is better than they were last year when they stomped us. There is no better teacher than experience and almost all of our players are lacking in this area. Stick with us; don't abandon ship. The team needs all of our passionate fans to have their backs, especially right now. No one feels this loss more than they do and no recruit wants to play for a team whose fan base is irrational and bipolar. Give the man the chance and time to succeed and I believe you will be surprised. Most importantly, give these players the support they deserve, even if you don't agree with the coach, these players still go out and bleed for this school, for this state, and for this fanbase. GBO!!
