I heard Saban mentioned Butch Davis in his press conference

Wasn't there some sort of probation while he was there?

 

Miami was put under sanctions when he got there, they didn't start to pull out of it until near the end of his tenure and then they won the NC the next year.

 

yes, from the Erickson years. He cleaned up the mess.

 

What sort of probation?

 

What exact sanctions were they under?

 

I forget exactly was it was pretty serious. Erickson's tenure is what led Miami to become known as ThugU

 

These players were all recruited by Davis. It is quite impressive. Number represents round drafted, notice there are over 20 1's. (I got this from another site)
