Butch Davis to FIU hits major snag

A contract squabble with the University of North Carolina is keeping Butch Davis from becoming the next head coach at Florida International University, a source told FOXSports.com on Thursday night.

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.

FIU is set to sign Davis to a multiyear contract averaging roughly $500,000 a season, the source said.

The Tampa Bay Times has reported that Davis is due annual payments of $590,000 from UNC every Jan. 15 between 2013 and 2015 as part of the severance deal. Davis was fired after a slew of NCAA infractions were committed during his four seasons (2007 to 2010) with the Tar Heels.

My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

Ugly, ugly, ugly.

But good for us.

With the recuriting dead period almost over and them not having this locked down means we have a chance to sway anyone we are competeing against them for.


I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick @$$ and I'm out of bubble gum.

The FIU writer for the Herald has confirmed the TB story.  He also says that FIU reportedly interviewed the Bethune Cookman coach yesterday.  This whole story is hillarious.

That program is in big trouble, the recruits must be jumping ship at this point.

What's even funnier is there is a thread about the kitties moving to the Big East with all the conference changes, talk about delusional.  ???

As watered down as the BE is - FIU is NOT on their radar (neither is FAU for that matter).
