Butch Davis to FIU

[QuattroCane]

A 7 page thread for the fiu hc hire because a lot of guys on here are secretly nervous about the hire.

We're more nervous about what Bielema is building at Arkansas.

Awwww. Did I touch a chord on the board and hurt some feelings with the ownage? Or are we actually comparing his schedule to the joke schedule richt has had in his first year with a bunch of nfl talent?

fiu fanboy alert, somebody's rustled,

LOL

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

Kinda like we are in the coastal for the lat 12 or so years and the foreseeable future.

And like we were for five years under Butch Davis. But he will be dominating at FIU in 3-4 years.

And like we were for five years under Butch Davis.....and he burst the bubble on year 6

true story right there

Butch wants to play Miami and recruit against us... He is gonna make us pay for not hiring him. He has too much fire in him and he gets the most out of his players.... We will regret not hiring him.

Relax bro. FIU is not competing against UM for anything besides 3* recruits.

But he will grab the occasional superstar by the pu$$y. Because that's what he does.

I can guarantee you that he has no beef with UM.

#MAGA

Cool. Looking forward to FIU's championship run in 2022.

How about his last year, how many did he lose then?

He lost one he shouldn't have lost and allowed a horrible La Tech team to hang around causing us to lose points in the old system.

My point was that, unlike some other Miami coaches, his teams improved over time. from '97 to 2000 we had,5/9/9/11 wins.

 

[Golsen82]

Oh no!! We can kiss all the Jags we'd offer goodbye

Poor move by Pete Garcia. I guess that's pretty much par for the course though. Hiring Butch is a desperate attempt to get anybody in the city to actually show up to games. There's probably about 20-25 people who might show up now. However, Butch will be 65 soon. It's going to take a minimum of 4-5 years to get that team even remotely respectable. It's not just the lack of talent. The facilities, stadium and fan support are among the worst, if not the worst in the nation. I hope they're giving him a budget to hire an offensive coordinator. They desperately need a spread guru who can out gimmick more talented teams. Butch's MO of relying on his defense while employing a power running, pro style offense is eerily similar to the philosophy of Ron Turner. The guy FIU just fired. House money is on Butch Davis retiring after two maybe three seasons.

We should worry about our own championship run...but as long as Va Tech, UNC, and FSU are in the way we won't have to worry about that anytime soon.

Then start a thread about it. Why are you bringing that up in a Butch Davis thread?

Butch would be like 85.

Never understood the Butch hate. He built up a ******* machine that couldn't be stopped, even for 2 more years after he left without a coach.

That same Admin and BoD that he didn't get along with ruined our football program. Yeah, he left, but they didn't do anything to make him stay. Saban would've been offered $6 million a year for building a team like he did. He would have had private airplanes and anything he wanted. There were a bunch of clowns running the show at our program and once Butch's last players graduated, our program tanked and no other coach has even come close to replicating.

And my point is that if he wasn't a bumbling boob he would have taken one of the best rosters in the history of college football and won a NC in 2000 instead of bumbling it away and forcing the Butchbots to give their idol a fake 2000 "shoulda" NC.

Instead of looking at 2000 as such a major success, Butch's Buddies should be excoriating him for squandering a NC in 2000.

The reactions from our fan base are very strange. They already crap on fiu and many crap on butch and this hire. So why are so many of our fans seem bothered by this hire? If he fails there, who cares, right?

Not bothered just annoyed by the "Butch is God" cult following

Well yeah people go overboard with the legend that is butch. But I disagree with the people calling this a bad hire. Butch will recruit and develop some talent down there. Snag some academic casualties from other schools and maybe a plan b guy for us but anyone thinking he's gonna build some powerhouse there needs to pump the brakes

Same here. We should be worshiping the man for rebuilding our program and bringing in all the future college and NFL superstars into the program. I appreciate Richt, but he ain't no Butch Davis when it comes to player evals, choosing assistant coaches and defense.

I am new here, but I don't think it is a hate for Butch, but rather a tiredness of people over selling him and just knee jerk hating every coach that isn't him. Then saying if he was here now things would be better.

Would be like if someone came up to you every day saying how great ice cream is for 5 hours. Even if you like ice cream a lot at some point you are going to get sick of the mention of it and really tired of that guy.

He built a very special team here, but he couldn't coach it to win and he left it. Not sure if the conditions even still exist for such a thing to happen again or if he even has the energy and time for it left.

Good coach if you want to hit your ceiling of a conference win here and there and competing for bowl games.

 

[Rellyrell]

What's up w/ all the saltiness regarding Butch? Dude helped resurrect us from the ashes, assembled some of the greatest talent known to CFB, and had he not got screwed in 2000, would've had a national title. Dude goes 4-0 in bowl games w/ a mangled roster. Some of ya'll act like the ninja took down your wives or something.
