Butch Davis ON NOV. 15, 2016, BUTCH DAVIS WAS NAMED THE FOURTH HEAD COACH OF THE FIU FOOTBALL PROGRAM, returning to South Florida where he made a name for himself as one of the premier minds in football. Davis will enter his third season at FIU in 2019. Davis comes to FIU after serving as a college football studio analyst, while also contributing to coverage on College Football Live, ESPN Radio, ESPN.com and SportsCenter since 2014. Before joining ESPN, Davis served as a consultant to the head coach for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Prior to that, Davis had a long successful coaching career, including head coaching positions with the University of North Carolina, the Cleveland Browns, and the University of Miami. Davis had a successful 15year association with Jimmy Johnson, first as a receivers and tight ends coach at Oklahoma State University, then as a defensive line coach at the University of Miami and ending with the Dallas Cowboys. His tenure included two of Dallas’ Super Bowl titles. In just three seasons, Davis has transformed the football program and has instilled a winning tradition at FIU after taking the Panthers to a school-best three-straight bowl appearances and setting a school-record for wins (9) in 2018. Davis joins just Nick Saban of Alabama as the only two active FBS coaches to take three different schools to three-straight bowl games. Entering its 19th year of football in 2020, the FIU Panthers are seeking a fourth-straight bowl appearance in the new year. In 2019, the Panthers earned highlight wins over bowl-bound teams Charlotte and Miami (Fla.). The victory over the Hurricanes at Marlins Park earned FIU its first-ever FWAA National Team of the Week honor as the Panthers dominated national headlines following the 30-24 win.
