I know Davis treated him poorly. Played him over a better, more productive back (Portis), and drafted him pretty high.

Butch burnt bridges.

**** bridges and anyone's ego and butthurt. He can help us win, then we should take a look at it.

Butch will be invited back when Nevin is invited back as head of fundraising.

Really, the broader conversation is probably whether we could find and utilize a position such as Kevin Steele's at Bama. To have someone like that who can just recruit (and when I say "recruit" I mean athletes, their families, coaches, friends, boosters, etc.) is huge. Maybe Butch isn't the guy. But I still wonder with all of our NFL alumni, whether we couldn't use someone like that.

That Bama is able to have someone like Steele, who should be a head coach somewhere, just out there recruiting and organizing recruiting is a standard of excellence we should strive towards.

Pretty sure he wouldn't be allowed to recruit in a position like that. You need to be on the corching staff to recruit. It would be a tough pitch for the AD to tell Corch Al that Butch is now going to be picking your players for you. Corch Al's problem isn't picking players; his problem is the same one Davis had--corching them on gamedays.

On top of that, Davis is an old dude now. You're thinking about Davis from 1995 when he was in his 40's. The dude's probably 63 years old now. He's an incredible evaluator of HS talent--probably the best of all time in that regard. But he's an old dude, and I doubt he'd be willing to take an office job at a football program. If he gets back in the college game he'd probably be looking to be a HC.

Seriously. He's 62, and looks like a ******* AIDS patient

In February 2012, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers hired Davis as a special assistant to newly hired head coach Greg Schiano. The terms of Davis' settlement with the University of North Carolina prevented him from taking a coaching position, and he was instead hired as an advisor to Schiano, who was the defensive coordinator under Davis at the University of Miami.[14

the original structure of the settlement was to be three $590,000 annual payments between 2013 and 2015
