LOL at anyone believing a word out of Davis's mouth. Double LOL at Davis turning down HC gigs to keep making $150k per year in broadcasting.
LOL at Butch taking any old HC gig...seriously?
taking any HC gig that comes up is for young coaches who need to prove themselves working from the bottom to the top, takes time.
In case you had forgotten, Butch Davis is a 65 years old grandfather, does not need to prove himself at all and oh ya almost forgot, he's a multi millionaire. So it makes absolute sense he would not jump at just any HC
job, it would have to be **** near a dream job I would imagine
He begged like a mangy starving dog for the FIU job and the only reason he didn't take it was a contract dispute.
LOL at the Butch worshippers.

Pretty cūnty post for your 7th one.
That article is dated Dec 7th, a couple of weeks later the negotiations were hot and heavy between FIU and Botch.
Report: Butch Davis hire at FIU stalled by contract dispute - CBSSports.com
Congratulations on being outed as a ****** after just 7 posts.
Game. Set. Match.
Get a new screen name and start over.
So you claim Butch Davis in your words ..'was begging like a starving mangy dog for the FIU job' yet FIU turned him away, shunned him.
and you got all those facts from the article below? hmm.. very interesting conspiracy.
So throughout the entire process of these media rumors Butch denied everything. Even the AD Pete Garcia denied it, at one point even calling the reports "Totally False"!...TOTALLY FALSE!!
But its a solid fact in your mind because the article you posted with a FoxSports reporter using 'Unnamed Sources' from a FoxSports article...
SUGGESTS not that FIU refused to hire Butch Davis, Nor that Butch even wanted the job mind you...but states instead,
only that Fox reporter Alex Marvez's 'Unnamed Sources' claim that
'they talked things over' and that there is a hold up with a UNC settlement.
So where is the begging and pleading you speak of? I read only a rumor that Butch Davis gave his good friend, Pete Garcia the time of day.
That is your proof he was turned away by FIU?
That is your proof that he's untouchable?
Meanwhile ESPN seems to have no problem with being associated with this pariah as they slowly work him into position as the face of College Football. ditto Sirius XM.
P.S
Butch never once claimed to want the FIU job, yet he got on a ******* soap box and told everyone and anyone who would listen that he wanted the Miami job!
here I pasted your article...
It's never been much of a secret that FIU has wanted to make Butch Davis its next head coach after its shocking firing of Mario Cristobal. The question has been if Davis -- a former Miami, Cleveland Browns and North Carolina head coach -- wanted the same thing, even given his ties to Panther athletic director Pete Garcia. Reports initially claimed that he wasn't interested, but then said Davis had agreed to take the job, only for Garcia himself to call those later reports "totally false."
But a report from Fox Sports Thursday night suggests that Davis and FIU have indeed spent some time talking things over -- even if those talks haven't yet overcome a major stumbling block. Per reporter Alex Marvez, "a contract squabble with the University of North Carolina" is the only thing standing in the way of Davis becoming the Panthers' new coach ... but that that squabble appears to be at a standoff.
Per Marvez:
The dispute centers on almost $1.8 million that Davis is owed from the settlement he signed upon his dismissal as UNC's head coach in July 2011. The source said that UNC doesn't want to pay the money if Davis accepts another coaching position, which is a stumbling block that also complicated his hiring earlier this year by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Davis would earn "roughly $500,000 a season" coaching for FIU, according to Marvez's source, while his settlement from UNC would reportedly pay him $590,000 per year for the next three years -- meaning that if Davis could not force UNC to continue his payments even after taking the FIU job, he'd be taking nearly a $100,000 per-year pay cut for his efforts for the Panthers.
There's enough traction between these reports to assume that the interest between the Panthers and Davis is at least somewhat mutual. But unless Garcia and FIU can find enough money to make it more worth Davis's while than unemployment would be, or the terms of Davis's UNC settlement change for some reason -- like, say, a clause expiring at the end of the 2012 calendar year that only makes Davis hireable after Jan. 1, as the rumor mill has had it -- that interest may be as far as things go.
