I fail to see how this prevents us from hiring him. He's in the American conference. He's going to leave that conference. This season. Pay him and you can have him. The chicken littles on this site are reeeeallly pathetic.
If you think our BOT is going to get into a bidding war over an HC, you are very mistaken.
They didn't do it for Butch, who had, in 2000, a record of 11-2, and a
#2 ranking.
Davis takes reins as Browns coach - Chicago Tribune
1-30-2001
Davis, 49, was announced at a morning news conference at Cleveland's training facilities and excitedly talked about his future with the Browns, where he signed a five-year contract worth about $15 million and replaces Chris Palmer, who was fired after going 5-27 in his first two seasons.
Davis bolted UM on Monday after he made assurances for the last two months that he would remain the Hurricanes coach. He also was in the middle of renegotiating a five-year contract extension at UM that would have been worth about $8 million.
Policy continued to have discussions with Davis' agent, Marvin Demoff. Late last week, when it appeared contract renegotiations at UM began to bog down, Demoff told Policy there might be a “glimmer of interest” from Davis.
Pretty sure we only lost to UW that year.
You're right. I got the 11-2 from the Chicago Tribune article itself. I should have checked it out. From Wiki:
