If anyone is holding up Butch Davis’ hiring at FIU, it’s Davis...not UNC

Posted Dec 29, 2012
If it’s true that Butch Davis actually has been offered the FIU job, the only one keeping him from taking it is Davis himself. That’s because by accepting the position – or any other in coaching, for that matter – he would have to forfeit the rest of the severance money UNC owes him as part of the buyout agreement he signed after being fired by the Tar Heels in July 2010.
