Big Score 1 Posted November 23, 2004 Author Share Posted November 23, 2004 Looks like Butchy Boy has been preparing for this. Put Cleveland Browns Coach Butch Davis high on the list of candidates to replace Ron Zook at Florida. Sources familiar with UF's coaching search confirmed to the Sentinel that Davis and UF have expressed a mutual interest. The job came open when Zook was fired Oct. 26 after a 38-31 loss at Mississippi State. Davis, 53, would join a list of candidates currently topped by Utah's Urban Meyer. Published reports out of Cleveland on Tuesday indicated Davis will be fired by the struggling Browns, who have dropped four consecutive games heading into Sunday's date at Cincinnati. Whether the firing comes sooner or later apparently is a matter of negotiation. Orlando Sentinel (be advised - registration required) Use Bug Me Not to get around the annoying registration process.

theeohiostate Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 the new coach's first order of business: announce Lee Suggs as the starting RB 572327[/snapback] Someone from the current staff will take the team to finish the season likely, so i doubt that''ll change anything.

Big Score 1 Posted November 24, 2004 Author Share Posted November 24, 2004 Tuesday, November 23, 2004 Mary Kay Cabot Plain Dealer Reporter Browns coach Butch Davis is on the verge of being fired, an NFL source said Monday night. Browns owner Randy Lerner has grown weary of the losing and contemplated firing Davis Monday, following Sunday's 10-7 loss to the New York Jets Instead, he decided to wait and see if Davis could turn things around this week in Cincinnati. If the Browns lose Sunday to the Cincinnati Bengals, Davis likely will be fired, the source said. The Cleveland Plain Dealer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Score 1 Posted November 25, 2004 Author Share Posted November 25, 2004 Akron Beacon Journal staff writer Marla Ridenour, Amid reports he could soon be fired, sources told ESPN.com insider Len Pasquarelli on Tuesday that Davis will retain his job through the rest of this season. Those sources, some of them in the league and others close to Davis, told Pasquarelli that Cleveland officials determined Tuesday that they will wait until after the season to review the status of the Browns' head coach. There had been strong hints that Davis could leave the franchise as early as Tuesday, only under certain conditions that did not include his dismissal, but the events moved in another direction. The feeling was that, with such open speculation about his future, Davis would press Lerner for a resolution of his status beyond this season. The rationale was that, if Lerner confirmed Davis would not be back in 2005, Davis might resign. But had that occurred, Davis would have turned his back on the three seasons remaining on his current contract. Lerner did consider firing Davis on Sunday night -- as initially reported by ESPN's Chris Mortensen, but the situation might have been too complicated to be resolved quickly. "The people who thought that this whole thing was going to come Tuesday, with some resolution, forgot about the money elements involved here," one source told Pasquarelli. "Barring a miracle or a change of heart by the owner, [Davis] won't be back in '05, but there are a lot of issues to hash through. And what good was it going to do to fire him now?"

Jrick35 Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Reports are Dave Campo would be named Interim Coach. 572332[/snapback] The Browns must really be dumping the rest of the season if they are going to make Campo the Interim coach. At 3-7 if they go with Campo they are guaranteeing themselves no more than 2 more wins this year. Because Campo can't coach a team to a 6th win in a season.
