He asked the admin for a one year extension and they declined.

Per The Athletic.

Don't we have an off-topic board around here somewhere?

Manny is there for the taking. Don’t blow it, FIU!!

Don't be salty because you can't see straight. We discuss former UM coaches on here all day and this is big news.

If he, JJ, Coker, Golden, or whoever TOOK a job there would be 200+ pages allowed. Same thing. It's UM adjacent, its also a college in Dade for that matter. Take it like a man. Besides, UM is in a coaching search and now he's available so you guys can start another Butch to the U thread lol.

Wait, after the admin were clear they wanted him gone after the year, with that "retiring" announcement, he asked for an extension? Shoot your shot I guess

In before BBB

 

[TheEye]

Well, we wanted a fired FIU coach! Here it comes, boys!

 

[KyCane38]

I thought he said he was retiring after this year?

Optics game. He saw the writing on the wall. But still tried. He is the one who disclosed that he had his agent request another year and they were told no. He loves coaching. He should go home and coach a HS team, help teach kids. Nothing wrong with that.

 

[Go Canes!!]

He was just on the verge of turning things around

 

[JHallCanes]

I would take him back here in some capacity

Certainly not in a coaching capacity but the guy has his strong points still

 

[CANEMC]

Butch needs to retire now. Get some easy money as a CFB analyst and enjoy life.

 

[AlphaMarshan]

Isn't Butch like 90 years old?

I'd happily have him join as an analyst or something similar. But I don't think it would happen because it would be a bit of a distraction that might outweigh the benefit.

I'll take him!!!


......... As an analyst ONLY.

He turns 70 on Wednesday, actually.

I think the hope is Mario is this generation’s Butch. An elite recruiter, evaluator, and developer of talent that can overcome game day deficiencies by running a program that can kill you with wave after wave of hungry talent.

Meanwhile Miami still has the lisp

We better make a move before FAMU picks him up and starts stealing all the croots.
