Word in the NFL is Butch Davis would love to coach the Dallas Cowboys if Bill Parcells retires. But if that doesn't materialize, he would have interest in several college jobs, including UM and North Carolina.

For our sakes, we'd better hope that never happens.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

I think he would be much better than several of the coaches we've had - particularly the Christmas elf that replaced Davis as defensive coordinator before becoming head coach - but he still wouldn't be high on my list.

Don't say nooooo to quickly. Remember that Belicheck (sp) was not too good at Cleveland his first try either.

All i know is the University of miami fans are dying for butch davis to come back. Coker is gone after this season. Butch is a better suited for the college ranks.

In fairness to Butch, he didn't inherit a very good team. Not only that, but the team hadn't been very good in a very long time, which suggests more than just coaching flaws, but weaknesses in personnel and management.

So would I.

My point is I know it's not going to happen, Butch needs to realize it too.

Landry never knew Butch Davis, so I'm not sure that's true. Besides, Davis has a better resume' than Landry did when Clint Murchison hired him.

Like I posted in the other thread on this subject, Butch was Jerry's second choice to succeed Jimmy in 1994, so this isn't that far-fetched.

Where Butch struggles, I think, is in player evaluation. Jimmy even alluded to that one time saying, "Butch never saw a player he didn't like." He's just not critical enough.

Jerry and Butch together on draft day scares the crap out of me, but I wouldn't mind Butch coaching.

If I were making a list of potential realistic choices for Next Head Coach... Butch would probably fall into the top 25.

Miami needs a coach. By all means, let me go there!

I can't believe how bad Coker has been-- what a car wreck.

Not quite the point I was making. I'm sure he rolled several times when he saw such a proud franchise under the guidance of Campo.

Needless to say I'm not impressed by Butch Davis. His college coaching career might have been successful. His professional career is not quite as stellar.

I agree. He might not be a bad coach (as long as he had strong X's and O's guys on the staff to help him out), but this guy should not be anywhere near the draft room.

He just can't help himself when it comes to "coaching up" a talented project (see William Green). Really, he should stick to college where he'll have 25-30 scholarships to hand out every year and he could just run off the kids who can't cut the mustard, which is pretty much what he did at Miami.

That isn't saying much

I didn't intend for it to. :

No he wouldn't. He's already seen Dave Campo coach the cowboys. The rolling has already occured.

Jerry Jones would mandate lip implants.
