Butch is a solid recruiter


Wrong

Not only can Butch not recruit well, he fails to develop the talent he somehow does get.

Butch struck a gold mine with the legacy players in the 2014 and 15 classes. But he's not actually that exceptional of a recruiter. Loves to sign a large number of prospects (mostly 3* and low 4*) to get a high class ranking, then he processes the unneeded ones down the road. Comparable recruiter to McElwain, but a much worse talent developer, and obviously worse as an ingame coach. Also, this cycle we have MULTIPLE big fish literally right in our backyard that are looking elsewhere. If Butch can't secure guys like Tee Higgins and Trey Smith (Amari Rodgers was never coming to UT) it's kinda worrisome.

And I haven't been "on the bandwagon" since pre-UF 2015, but wanted to give him a chance this year. He's resoundingly failed. USCe was the last straw for me, and Vandy was just icing on the cake, confirming what I already knew. Butch isn't getting it done here.
