Butch Davis to FIU

Am I the only person who believes that Davis would have Power 5 offers if ADs respected him half as much as canesinsight does? Honestly I believe Power 5 teams would be willing to simply hold their nose about his NCAA issues and hire Davis as head coach if they seriously thought he was a great coach.

Briles seems likely to get a Power 5 job despite his even worse issues at Baylor. Tressel's ban from coaching ends this year, and he'd have Power 5 offers on the table if he didn't prefer being a university president.

Is Richt referring to the coach who had a roster that was basically the 2001 team plus Sanatana Moss, Reggie Wayne and Dan Morgan? The coach who had that roster and couldn't figure out how to win a NC with it? Yeah he's obviously the greatest coach of all time.

Butchbots always leave out that the freckled spaz gagged away a NC in 2000 with an even better roster than 2001.

That would be computers despite being 2nd in all polls that matter today. He would've embarrassed OU. Nice try though

There is only one poll that matters today and it did not exist in 2000. Nice try though.

You just made my point. Would we not have been in the playoffs now or played for the title with said polls before the BCS? That would be yes, yet computers put the team we beat there instead, Nice try though
 
Butch will do well there. It will take a while to build them into a decent program, but I think in 3-4 years they could make some ripples. They will never be UM, but they will improve drastically under Butch. I can see him turning them into a bowl team, which would be their ceiling.

How do you know what the College Football Playoff committee would have done if it didn't exist in 2000?

FYI, we were ahead of a team that beat us. Not that you are interested in facts. Maybe if Butch doesn't give up 90 points to Louisiana Tech we might have made it in.

Miami should have beaten an inferior Washington team. Win that game and the computer polls would have had undefeated Miami #1 or #2 .

Miami should have routed a bad, unranked Louisiana Tech team by 30 or more, rather than win a close game that ended 42-31.

The computer-based system of 2000 was the system in place. Get over it.

I'm not even going to get into who Jimmy Johnson thought was a grand slam hire here.

When people ask stupid questions like this, the coach being asked will almost always give praise. Mark barely knows the guy, but being the class act he tossed some coach speak out there for nuthuggers to latch onto.

Doesn't matter. He choked that season away with the best roster in history, and he would have done the same in 2001. Dude's a loser with a great eye for HS talent.

All he had to do was handle business in 2000 like he should have and we would have been in NC game.

Butch will do well there. It will take a while to build them into a decent program, but I think in 3-4 years they could make some ripples. They will never be UM, but they will improve drastically under Butch. I can see him turning them into a bowl team, which would be their ceiling.
You can see him matching the immortal Mario Cristobal? Wow!!
 
Davis is like the cab driver in NYC who used to be a doctor in his home country.

I can see a beaten down battered Davis at FIU muttering to anyone who will listen, "I used to be a football coach in my country."

Hahaha. Constantly complaining about the regulations (NCAA sanctions) in this country that have prevented him from being a neurosurgeon (Power 5 coach) again.
 
I don't mean a one season deal. I can see them getting 7-8 wins a year over the rest of his time there, once he builds the program in his image. Mario had what, one good season? Butch will have a couple rough years, but I do believe he will turn them into a program that can compete for a bowl every single year. He knows talent, and will get enough quality kids to be competitive.

I like and respect Butch for what he did during his time at Miami.

Having said that, the Butch slurpers have slowly but surely caused me to despise him and talk him down, short of actually rooting against him.

I hope Butch is successful at FIU and closes his coaching career on a positive given that he's a strong part of Miami's history. But the constant slurping about him makes me hesitant.
 
Davis went 51-20 at Miami from 1995 to 2000, taking over a program decimated by sanctions and scholarship losses and turning it into one that would dominate its way to the 2001 national title. He was with the Browns when that title was won, taking them to the playoffs in 2002 — the last postseason appearance for that franchise.

But but he sucks doe.....

If he is a great coach, and after all these years, why is he coaching at FIU?

I'm not as far along as you in letting the Butch cultists ruin my view of the man but it will become increasingly difficult if people around here start drawing equivalencies between FIU beating Western Kentucky or Middle Tennessee to ANYTHING we're doing. I'm all for wishing the dude well but he and his new program are completely irrelevant to us and need not ever be discussed together.
 
Let the tears flow. Just like the SJW's after Trump was elected.


LET IT FLOW GIRLS!


Butch Davis is a God.

Not 1 person has cried over an irrelevant coRch getting hired at an irrelevant school. If anything, all the Paul Davis worshippers are the ones crying since Paul has been ignored by all P5 schools since he was ****canned by UNC.

Your crying ramped up when you claimed your alleged BoT connection informed you Paul was the next CEO and it didn't happen.

Unfortunately, he coRched at Miami 15 years ago and the kids he'll be recruiting weren't alive yet when that happened.

Paul did take the Browns to the playoffs, so hats off. However, if he didn't suck, why hasn't he been given another opportunity to lead an NFL team?
Because he ******' sucks, bro!


He is a home run hire...FOR FIU. I guess you are an FIU fan. Enjoy the games.

See Howard at FAU. CoRker at UTSA. Great for those schools, still irrelevant big picture wise.

Paul's coRching is the reason Miami wasn't in the NC game. Stop blaming polls or computers.

Because FIU doesn't play East Carolina, Virginia, NC St., VaTech, GaTech, or FSU.

Exactly.

Honestly I get almost as tired of people on here claiming the 1988 and 2002 titles because dealing with bad officials is part of the game. A champion should play well enough to overcome officials.

Sucks? According to???
 
I remember the time when a coach was asked about a coaching hire at another school and the guy said it wasn't a good hire.

No, wait...I don't remember that.

What did you expect him to say about a future opponent? OTOH, I agree that it is a great hire. I wanted Butch here.

Lmao you'll have to excuse CaneDynasty. He can't seem to remove Butch's **** from his mouth

Sounds like you're spot on.

What a ball licker.
