Mark VI Posted November 23, 2004 Author Share Posted November 23, 2004 Look for the guy from Utah to take the Florida job. 130290[/snapback] Urban Meyer. The problem is he has never been in the SEC, even as an Asst. Coach. No contacts or ins on recruiting. May happen but I see Bobby Petrino of Louisville a more likely candidate. He has 23 Florida players on his roster and knows where to recruit. Obviously, Davis, the ex-Miami coach, knows Florida. Miami folks would flip if he went to Gator country.

If they both were to leave, that would be rough for Utah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCBillsFan Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Heard on the radio this morning from a Florida sports newscaster that Butch Davis is expected to be hired for Florida's position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICE Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 On one of the pregame shows word has it he will bring in Pioli (sp) from NE to be pres/GM. Pioli will alledgedly bring in Kirk Ferentz to be HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pioli will alledgedly bring in Kirk Ferentz to be HC. 130350[/snapback] There's all kinds of rumors surrounding Pioli. He's supposedly the top candidate to become the head man in Cleveland if Davis is gone or if Davis' front office responsibilities are taken from him.

Ray Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 I live in Boston and the word here is that NOOOOOO way do the Pats let Pioli go. The Pats have him under contract for a few more years. They could easily elevate him to co-GM status for the Pats as well. If they do let him go they would be asking for huge compensation--like next two number one picks and then some. At least this is the word in beantown. They were speculating that he would go to Miami as well--doubt it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 It's about time they got rid of Davis. The guy got exactly what he wished for: consolidated all power in the organization in himself, ran any possible dissenters out of town and made all the decisions concerning the Cleveland Browns. And then he proceeded to run the team right into the ground. He has no one tro blame but himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Rich Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 They also missed the mark on a few high profile draft picks in Tim Couch, Courtney Brown, and Gerard Warren. Ugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeyemike Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 The TV stations here in Cleveland were all over this last night. First, they were reporting Butch was out. Then, he was in. Then, he was out again. Then, he was in. Then, Butch was negotiating a buyout and would be gone by midnight last night. Then, Butch was in for the rest of the year. Sideshow reporting at its best. No wonder people view the media with a jaundiced eye. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark VI Posted November 24, 2004 Author Share Posted November 24, 2004 I thought Ferentz just signed a long-term extension at Iowa. 130905[/snapback] He did and was extended ANOTHER 3 years yesterday afternoon, in fear that he would be getting called. Now Iowa has him locked up through 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
