Does anyone ask themselves why Butch Davis has been passed over and/or not discussed for literally every single college football job outside of not even being able to be hired at FIU despite being free to go anywhere since July 2011?
Do you think he's just sitting at home because no team would cover the $1.8M he was owed from UNC in a contract with him? He was going to take a $500,000 a year job at FIU which would make him almost the lowest paid coach in college football and it still didn't pan out.
This is not a Miami/Butch Davis issue, the guy is blacklisted and it's pretty obvious to see that there's a much bigger reason why he's sitting on the sideline than "WELL MIAMI WONT HIRE HIM"
Dude, you're just making **** up. Butch had agreed to take the FIU job, just like Petrino had taken that lower tier gig. Everyone at FIU knew he'd built the place up better than Cristobal, and then he'd jet to greener pastures. Problem is that UNC did not want for Butch to collect a check from both FIU and one from UNC. Had he been hired there, he might have been re-hired by a bigger conference college looking a real builder of champions, that re-hire would have paid UNC. UNC is short sighted. Had he done anything wrong volatile in terms of NCAA violations, rest assured that UNC would NOT be paying Butch anything, or far LESS than what they have been paying. How much do you think that little local FIU University is paying that coach that was accused of smoking blunt? Not much.
Oh btw, do you really think that FIU could pay off UNC?
Butch has been getting paid in full by North Carolina because he IS clean and WAS clean, as far all the investigations are concerned.
+10000.
If Butch was guilty of any impropriety, North Carolina would have fired him with cause and they wouldn't have been paying Davis for the past four years.
Butch is clean, available, and he actually wants to coach at Miami.
Unless you want Miami's football program to perpetually suck, it's mind boggling why anyone would not want Butch in Coral Gables.
