Butch Davis was Miami's head coach from 1995-2000, when the Hurricanes went 51-20.

Return to glory?

That might be what Miami has in mind, as a report from the Miami Herald on Thursday indicated that Butch Davis, who coaches the Hurricanes from 1995-2000, is a strong contender for the program's open head coaching job. The report stated that, according to sources, the Canes are taking a "fresh look" at Davis and "evaluating his viability as a candidate" among a push from some members of the school's Board of Trustees to hire him.

Davis has publicly said that he would be interested in returning to Miami, though, and the school undoubtedly would like to replicate the success the Hurricanes enjoyed during and shortly after his tenure.

In Davis' six-year stint, Miami went 51-20 overall and 11-1 in his final season, when the Canes finished No. 2 in the polls. His outstanding recruiting also left the program in strong shape for replacement Larry Coker, who took the 2001 team -- considered one of the most talented ever in college football -- to the national title and the 2002 team to the BCS championship game.

Butch Hiring day is 13 away!

We have any number of reasons for the Canes hiring any particular head coach, and as many not to. Most reasons are mere oral flatulence, as they miss the crux of our needs: the return to national relevance, as quickly as possible. Canes football remains on life-support. The wrong hire will doom the program for another 5 years. After living through the past dozen years of pain, the number of fans has dwindled. Many of us remaining are sitting on the fence, waiting for a sign that the BOT cares about winning championships. We no longer have time for the pain. We want competency restored.

There is only one realistically available candidate that will instantly make Miami football nationally relevant again, Butch Davis. As a bonus, he'll galvanize the fan base, and haul in a top class of recruits.

Fvckin Butch Davis.

The man going to bring us back to where we belong.

Remember all the haters now because they will be suckling his cawlk once they see.
 
I'll take Butch over Strong any day of the week, and twice on Sundays. By the way, of course Strong is going to say he's not interested.
 
Strong isn't even in my top 10.

I would take him over Mario, Chud, Schiano, and Shula.
