MIAMI — Butch Davis’ decision to return to coaching at FIU was a surprise. At one time, he was one of the biggest names in coaching. He was coach at the University of Miami, then with the Cleveland Browns. He won Super Bowl championships as an assistant with the Cowboys. He had a nice media job, working on TV and in radio.
FIU has fielded a football team for a mere 15 seasons. The C-USA program boasts 52 wins – all-time.
Why do this?
“I missed all the things – being in the locker room, going out on the practice field, talking with kids,” Davis said when I visited him on campus recently.
