Background Rumblings - Butch Davis

Butch isnt going to run to MD just because they are firing edsall.... being he pretty much knows the miami job is coming open and is being begged for by the "people". He can sit back and have his pick right now of whatever he wants. My gut tells me he feels he has unfinished business here. He has won everything there is to win as an asst coach but never as the HNIC. He sees what is wrong and thinks he can bring things to where he had them.

Butch a man on a mission

Butch was screwed royally back in 2001 out of the chance to get a NC in his own right the a corrupt Bowl Championship System, and he knows it. We would have beaten Oklahoma like rented mules and repeated in 2002, and Butch quite possibly would have stayed and waited a few years before leaving for the NFL.

I think Butch wants the chance to take on Urban Meyer with a Canes team of his kids and pay back what happened to his team in 2003. I know Coker coached that squad, but nobody can say that Butch wasn't affected by that loss. Those were his young men.

Butch would be smart to go to MD. They are at the point where they want to be relevant in football and have a sht ton of money. It sits in an area of the country where there are a ton of good football players.

That admin is ready to go full steam ahead on developing a top notch football program. They just need an architect like Davis who would embrace and recognize the power he would receive. Miami would try and keep their collective thumbs on him.
 
He doesn't need to; the players already know who he is. He can point to the pictures on the walls of the difference makers and hall of famers and future hall of famers he coached...

It's time for a difference maker and he's one of them....He's not perfect, but he's got a lot of solid attributes. And by the first game of his first year our D will be knocking players around and playing D the way it should be played - aggressively....

For the first time, someone close to the program mentioned Butch Davis in a more definitive way. I had been told by people close to the program - boosters and the like - various things over the past year and a half. Today, I heard there have been actual talks of this being a real option for Miami. I was surprised it was said in the manner it was expressed because I had also heard some negative stuff in the past.

Have at it...





Disclaimer: As most of you know, I'm here to talk football. D$'s the guy with the great connections. I don't consider myself anything close to an insider and basically just know a handful of people close to the program. I'm not on here trying to get Butch hired. I don't have enough information right now to really give a meaningful opinion on the coaching search alternatives.

On Butch's first day, he should walk into the locker-room with Dorito's 5 page defensive play cards and rip them to shreds.

Maryland should have done a lot more under Edsall. How was their recruiting under him? Seems to me that area is a gold mine for players.

Lu, I know you can't say too much without giving up sources and the like, but can you give a bit more context, as in whether Butch was just one name in a laundry list of possible candidates or more like the primary target?

No worries if what you've provided is all you're comfortable sharing. It's much appreciated regardless.

The conversation was about the FSU game and Butch's name was brought up to me. No other candidates' names were mentioned. It was solely about how this was a real option (which is the distinction from what I had heard in the past and therefore more than just the internet chatter about it).
 
I want to believe. I do. Badly. Really though, this would be epic.



But it's not happening. I'd be surprised if this school even fired Golden at this point. I refuse to trust this school to do the right thing, cuz I'll just be let down.

I'm not going to let myself get to worked up. Most likely Butch's agent spreading rumors to increase his contract for Maryland. Miami's admin will make another sh@tty hire.

That could be happening, but I don't know Butch's agent or anyone who does. This is from his Butch's interactions with the people who make or help make decisions about the program. And, after this post was written, others have communicated that they've also heard about specific talks between Butch's side and some of our "leaders."

A few posters have come on here, predictably, to trivialize it. That's fine. This is a significant break from what I heard in the past, so I think it's meaningful. Some people (myself included) didn't even expect Butch to be an actual option for us.

Lu, I don't doubt what your saying at all. I really hope this happens. We've been so bad for so long it's hard to get excited because we've been let down so many times over the last 10+ years. I just have no confidence in this admin to do what is necessary to make this program great again. They don't realize what put this school on the map and in the public eye to begin with. Having a great football program is financial beneficial to all parties including the educational branch. We need something to go our way for a change.

Listen, after what I was told and how strongly certain people feel, I'd be disappointed if Butch isn't our "floor" in terms of candidates. Like D$ alluded to in an earlier post, there are people who are negative towards Butch. I think D$ said "let's see who wins out." I haven't spoken to anyone who is against Butch, so I can't speak to that at all.

I'm with you 100% on "we need something to go our way for a change." It's been a long f'in time, man.

At Miami, Butch is in his happy hunting ground for recruiting. MD is not South Florida. AT THE U, Butch has to only awaken ghost of greatness past to get to playoffs -- Miami will get in with the slightest opportunity because of ratings. Who the heck cares if Maryland is in our not? Imagine Cane, ND, OSU, UF playoffs? Super Bowl type ratings with everyone pulling for Canes to make the final against any frigging one of them. We remain TV magic.

MD would break the bank for Butch and he would have unlimited power. There is more than enough talent in that region to build a winner. Miami has limitations that probably conflict with where Butch is at in his career.

Unfortunately, I'm afraid Butch might just go to Maryland because he would get a better contract there. Knowing the idiots that run this school, anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. Remember all the hysteria about Gruden? Look at WHO we ended up with and the mess we're in now because of that crummy hire. Just won't let myself get too excited. I've seen too much of the chitshow that is this school to trust these clowns to make a decent hire. I can hope we get it right for once, but what are the odds with this bunch of azzholes? They are champions at effing things up royally.

At this point you are just pulling fecal matter out of your rectal cavity and hoping that it sounds logical.

Please just STFU!

As predicted, I haven't gotten **** done today at work. All day spent daydreaming about this scenario...

The architect of the greatest team that the sport has ever seen comes home to finish his unfinished business...

Miami once again at the zenith of the greatest sport we know...where we belong...

Can something good please for the love of God happen for this program for once? Butch Davis is the only answer to our problems...

Please God let this happen
