Butch Davis Seems Bitter

Heard him on 790 this morning and boy did he sound sour.

When asked if he was given a fair chance he said he didnt know. All he knows is he got an interview like everyone else.

When asked if he would coach elsewhere he said yes.

When asked who his staff would have been all he said was he got tons of calls and texts per day (just like richt) from coaches in the pros.

Was happy with the out pour of support from the BBB crew and fans.

Gave no support to Richt and says he doesnt know him.

So I guess one thing is for sure, he wants to coach and no one else is hiring him. Hmmm. Makes the Richt hire look all the better.

No that cannot be. Far Archer and Dynasty told me it was Miami or nothing, and that's why he wasn't connected to any other coaching searches.....
 
I wanted Butch and feel bad for him but i'm ecstatic that we ended up with a proven coach who I know is gonna put the juice back in this program.
 
He gave Miami some great years but it's over now.

I was a BBB guy early on, but they found someone that is younger, also knows how to recruit NFL talent, has coached within the last 5 years, and to them, isn't tainted with scandals and bad blood.

Both parties should move on.

He saw Shalala getting hired and took off. Once she retired, he wanted back in.

I mean how many people would leave Miami and move to Cleveland? He saw the dark clouds coming.

just wondering was this interview process a revenge tactic to get back at Butch. I mean, think about it; it was first initially reported that some higher ups were still bitter in the way he left. He verbally said he would not leave the program, and then left to go to the Cleveland Browns, leaving Miami with their pants down (now, sure, Donna played apart in this decision). 15 years later, from all reports, a verbal deal was in place, Butch was starting to get things lined up, and bam...the admin goes a different direction...this time leaving Butch w/ his pants down.

It was just a thought that came across my mind, after one of my friends, who's a life-long Canes fan, brought it to my attention.

I don't think it was anything this devious. They probably heard the outcry from the fans, wanted to be thorough, and figured they'd hear him out.

Richt getting fired - sorry, mutually parting ways - was too good for them to pass up.
 
These threads are so stupid, and a waste of space in the forums. We have our coach and are moving forward...so can everybody just move on and forget about it?

This interview process was exactly as it should have been (and how most sensible fans wanted it):

Have Butch as a solid fallback option, while chasing bigger fish.

If he loved UM so much, he shouldn't have left for Al Lerner's money. It's that simple.

Butch loves Butch. He was playing the BBB like rubes to garner a groundswell of support. It went just as he orchestrated it, but UM didn't buy in.

Richt happens.

Never can fault a man for taking a huge pay day.

Agreed. But, if he loved UM so much, he wouldn't have left.

Wouldn't blame him! He got paid 5 times more to coach at the NFL level; which is a dream for most up and coming coaches; while we were penny pinching and getting booted out of the OB. Maybe you need to look at PDee who oversaw this mess of a dept.

This is how I feel as well. It's time to get behind the new HC and stop worrying about Butch's feelings.

it was interesting to hear him speak this AM on the radio regarding the hiring process etc. Also, lots of BBB supporters said he was only interested in the UM job which turns out is wrong.
 
I'm 100% behind the banning of the name BUTCH DAVIS on all Miami forums, though.
