This will count as duplicate content with Google, thumbs down! You were right to be concerned. Static pages are the best since they are simple to index, so that is actually a plus. Google has told web designers a million times, use “static” pages and text links! Yet no one really does this. Static loads faster, simpler to index, no scripts, and text links don’t require a title tag.
Simply put, creating a hundred pages with virtually all the same exact content will get you penalized and nothing more. If he wants to destroy his website, this is the sure way to do it.
