Cross one off the list - Butch to retire

[Pentagon Cane]

He should have retired after FIU beat Miami. Like a punch drunk fighter, didn’t know when to quit. His *** was about to git fired.

Taggart broke him...lol. No way Pete would ever fire Butch. Pete owes him too much. He let him keep his dignity and step down gracefully.

Never got a chance to finish what he started here but he did get his sweet revenge. .

Why would he want revenge??? He left Miami not the other way around.....

Manny to FIU..

Never got a chance to finish what he started here but he did get his sweet revenge. What better way to retire than to grab a gig on some sports network doing college analyst stuff and hanging with Jimmy in Key West in the offseason? Should have let that FIU thing go years ago.

I hate that this post made me dig up this old SI article:

The beginning of the end.

Butch, thanks for all the work you did at Miami. We are still disappointed in you for lying and leaving to Cleveland. You should have stayed here and would have won multiple rings.

Enjoy your retirement with Tammie.

in all honesty, this is a good place for Manny to reset his career. hes not ready for this level of football. starting at FIU or (Temple in reality) is right where he should've been to start

Manny will be a DC somewhere next year. I'd guess in the P5. That's usually the career arc.

Would Pete Garcia appease us if he was AD? I don't know much about him, other than hearing how Butch loved him when he was here in the early 2000s.

What! Never got a chance to finish what he started, he quit, went pro, the choice was his.

Its been 20+ years. Pete has been long done. We need a young and active mind.

DC at a Coach outlet store. Preventing thefts during Memorial Day weekend.

Other than Men's Soccer what is FIU competitive at even within their conference?

We need to sign him as one of the coaches for one day so he retires as a Hurricane......lol
I will always be grateful to Butch Davis for some of the best football I have ever watched and for giving us the most talented college football team of all times (arguably? although not for me)

 

[filmcane]

i would not be opposed to Butch taking a position with UM. Perhaps he'd be willing to be director of football operations or something like that.

 

[Gsugradcanefan]

Next AD?

IMO He would absolutely kill it as an AD here.

If we hadn't got Butch, we would be 30 years removed from a title at this point.
