Butch Davis to FIU

[INCaneFan]

It'll be interesting to see what the Botch brigade says when he can't even equal what Mario Cristobal did there.

 

[Problem2]

duke4heisman should just become an FIU fan

He is risen!

Hehe...what "Magic" are you referring to?

Here's his record per four-letter network: "...Davis, 64, was 51-20 at Miami from 1995 through 2000 and 28-23 at North Carolina from 2007 through 2010. He spent nearly four seasons (2001-04) as head coach of the NFL's Cleveland Browns, going 24-35."

He lost an average of 4 games a year here. MR has lost 4 in his first year and he's already a "Corch" with banner threats and suicide hot lines lighting up, not mention the barfbag industry relocating to SFLA. In addition, he lost an average of 5.5 games a year at NC. Should I even mention his NFL record?

I think posters here are always trying to repeat their first girlfriend experience, no matter the reality. BD left when it was right for him to leave. Yes he developed kids well, but that's his only strength. I think he had reached his potential here, and he knew it.

Now let the down-voting commence.

Butch's time has passed, but come on. Lost an average of 4 games? Did he lose fewer towards the end? How about his last year, how many did he lose then?

LOL

The real LOL is going to be those epic matchups with Charlotte for 4th place in the CUSA East.

Let's revisit this in 3 or 4 years.

So it took him 6 years to do anything at a Miami program coming off a top 6 finish, but he's going to make a difference at FIU in 3-4 years. Sounds about right.

One thing to keep in mind here (and I'm a Butch fan) is that Howard was only 2 years older than Butch is now when he took over at FAU. Support Butch all you want but this a non-issue for our program.

Why do people compare Paul Davis to coaches that have actually won something?

Computers stole his 2000 championship, he won 2001 and Terry Porter stole his third straight title. Not even Saban has won 3 straight and LOL if you credit Coker.

Nick Saban gets credit for Mike Stoola's titles at Alabama.

Nick continued his titles with his own recruiting and development. The players themselves said coker literally did NOTHING. Which is why they wanted him, they knew what Butch built and developed. As soon as they were gone and coker became responsible, well we are still suffering.

Good point, imma punch Ed Reed right in his face. Was going to say "then run", but I doubt that would end well.

All I can say is that the University of Louisiana- Monroe better look the **** out!!!

 

[UMinati]

i wouldnt have taken this job..he must really want to live in miami. I think he could of gotten a mid major job elsewhere this go round

This job is a stepping stone for him. Consider it a mouthwash after eating bad ****y. He lands a legit job after this one.

Yeah this UM vs FIU thread is like the commode arguing with the bath tub over who has seen the most p***y...

Commode: "I know I seen the most p***y, I see it several times a day!"

Bath Tub: "Yeah I only see it once or twice a day, but I ain't gotta take all that ****!"

Lulz

CoRker had more success at Miami than Paul did.

Fedora has had more success at UNC than Paul did.

The only real question...






Who's more of a Butch Bottom *****- Cane Dynasty or UMFarArcher?

He'll definitely surpass Mario. I mean Mario only had 2 winning seasons (7&8 wins). He can do that. The players that excell in conferences like the Mac and Sunbelt will probably now stay home. He may even pull kids who decide to go to places like Marshall and WVU. Now all that being said, FIU should of went yoynger and more innovative. Pete Garcia is a horrible AD. He doesn't look to the future. A 64 yr old coach?

He lives in florida already. Dont know where though.

There has to be some part of this for Butch where he wants to try and win right down the street from Miami. Don't think for a second that isn't in his mind. He wants to try and show passing him over was the wrong move.

Fiu aint the place to do it.

I wasn't opining on whether it made sense. It's close so he is in Miami's face. And if he makes them even remotely relevant then that is a huge win for him in accomplishing that goal.

I know. Im just saying if thats his reasoning fiu was a bad choice.

Cristobal the best coach in fiu history. Thats no easy mission for butch.

Never, cane to the bone. Just can't stand these Butch haters. I spent my early twenties watching first hand in the OB.

 

[CanesAreAble]

Just can't stand these Butch haters.

Nobody around here would "hate" Butch if people like you and CaneDynasty didn't bring up his name every 2 seconds like he's some viable option.

Let it go.

Just watch the old VHS tapes from 2000 or something.

 

[OriginalCanesCanesCanes]

He must be lamenting the fact that he can longer use the tragic deaths of Pata and Taylor in his recruiting pitches.

Give him time, he'll figure out a way to do it.

The only difference now is, he won't get to recruit at Sean Taylor's funeral, like he did before.

 

[Canedude08]

Maybe the whole "Bring Back Butch" campaign should have been a little more specific

Seriously, congrats and I hope he makes for a fierce cross town rival. There is more than enough talent in South Florida. Two strong coaches in Miami is a great thing. Not to offend FIU alum on here, but there are a number of extremely talented recruits that aren't a good fit for UM on the academic front these days and FIU is a better alternative. They just need someone to wrangle that talent. Anyone concerned about losing recruits, do walk across both campuses and tell me which one you would choose.

No FIU undergrad student should take offense. UM is a much better school academically and athletically.

I'm not sure what you meant by "walk across both campus and tell me which you would choose". In terms of landscape (went to both schools) I can tell you that both are really nice but FIU feels much more modern with all the new buildings. I wouldn't say one is better than the other though. Unless you take surrounding areas into account. Coral gables is much nicer than sweetwater/westchester.

In terms scenery (women), the Colombian and Venezuelan chicks at FIU are second to none. UM got some nice white girls but I think I would lean towards FIU in the female department.

Lower Academic Standards=Hotter Women

There's a reason why the Arizona State is considered the mecca of ****** college women, it's because it doesn't take much to merit admission.

 

[Cane Dynasty]

Hope he takes CaneDynasty with him

 

[Cane Dynasty]

I'm hoping by him being so close some of his magic will waft its way into Coral Gables and grace us.

He is risen!

If only we could be so bigly!

 

[Cane Dynasty]

Offer all the kids he offers

SHHH! Don't tell the pitchfork and torch brigade how we could actually benefit from this.

They are too busy sniffing my ******** right now.

And I'll admit it's slightly erotic.

I bet you voted for the btich too.

Don't worry. Just like the rest of America you will be pleasantly surprised. Bigly.

Hope Butch does well there, tough place to win. Only 2 winning seasons in 15 years.
