PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (Nov. 21, 2018) – After an impressive season on the gridiron, FIU head football coach Butch Davis has been named to the 2018 George Munger Collegiate Coach of the Year semifinalist, the organization announced on Wednesday.
Davis, who has elevated FIU to a conference title contender, has led the Panthers to back-to-back seasons of eight wins during his two-year tenure. If the Panthers should win on Saturday against Marshall, the team will break the record for most wins in a season and clinch the program's first C-USA East Division crown.
Davis is one of 18 coaches selected, joining the likes of Nick Saban, Dabo Swinney and Jim Harbaugh to name a few.
