There are “Under Construction” signs seemingly everywhere on FIU’s campus, and that certainly holds true for the football program, which is, as they say, under new management.
Butch Davis, the former Miami Hurricanes, Cleveland Browns and North Carolina Tar Heels coach, ran his first practice since 2010 on Tuesday as FIU opened spring drills.
“It would be an understatement to say it was awesome,” Davis said when asked about his first FIU practice. “I love being around these kids. I love how they have worked in preparation for spring practice.”
The practice was held on FIU’s soccer field instead of the football stadium because, well, there’s work getting done.
