The New Head Pumpkin for UT

This may be way off but I am going with a gut feeling that current UNC head coach Butch Davis will be the coach of the Tennessee Volunteers next season. Butch has said publically that he was staying at UNC but I don’t believe him.

This is the worst possible thing that can happen. I absolutely hate the Vols. Butch Davis is exactly what the Vols need. Perfect match if you ask me. Davis is no fool. He will either parlay this into a huge contract extension with a huge raise or he will be the new orange pumpkin on the UT sidelines.

Why do I think this will happen? Well for one thing Davis, like Nick Saban, has no loyalties. To Saban’s credit, he left the Dolphins because he was given the highest power and the best contract possible to go back to his true love, which is coaching college football. Davis uses every contract he gets as a stepping stone. He left the Canes, after he swore he was not interested, to go to the Cleveland Browns. Now he has an opportunity to go to the best conference in college football, the SEC. He will get a contract offer from UT on par with Saban’s. He will join a program with a big following and football atmosphere, none of which are available at UNC.

Don’t ever discount a coach’s ego. The ego of Butch Davis + the $$$$ will equal Butch saying so long to UNC and hello to Tennessee. Trust me, it will happen. And the Vols will be back to the nation’s elite teams in less than 3 years. No one is a better recruiter than Butch Davis. No one is better at finding talent than Butch. He not only signs the big time talent he also finds the diamonds in the rough that are under the radar. He did it with the Canes. He is doing it with the UNC and will be doing it with the Vols. As a Vol hater this idea makes me sick.
