Butch Davis out as Florida International Panthers college football coach, says school 'sabotaging the program'

Florida International coach Butch Davis will not return in 2022.

Davis, who has led FIU since 2017, told The Action Network that he's out after the season and criticized the school's administration for "sabotaging the program."

He has informed the coaching staff that he will not be back, sources told ESPN, although it's unclear whether he will coach FIU's final two games against North Texas and Southern Miss. Davis' contract expires Dec. 15, and FIU last month had a job posting for its head-coaching position posted online with the American Football Coaches Association.

FIU announced last week that longtime athletic director Pete Garcia will step down after 15 years.
