Butch took a roster of talent and destroyed it with some of the worst drafts ever, certainly the worst in the salary cap era. That said, as a Steeler fan, I would most certainly welcome Butch back into the AFC North.

The reason Butch isnt going to get another NFL Head Coaching job is he had a melt down and quit the Browns with 4 games left in the season. He was replaced by Terry Robiskie.

Butchy couldnt stand the heat or the pressure. He took the buy out and ran.

The late, Jim “Mad-dog” Mandich , never liked Butch Davis…In all my years of listening to Mandich, he seldom spoke poorly of people. Mandich had Davis pegged as a phony even while Davis was still coaching the Hurricanes. Good enough for me.

Butch Davis is garbage. He only took a full buyout from The Browns too. He is a power hog who plays favorites and his players soon lose respect for him. He is a joke and if he thinks he’s going to get another head coaching NFL job, he’s begging. You don’t “job” one owner without the others remembering.
Jimmy Johnson made him what he was and he’s been milking it ever since.

Butch Davis is a big reason the Browns are still a disaster today.

Actually Davis had some kind of a meltdown. His problem at Cleveland was his power (too much of it) I thought he coached ok, but he couldn’t draft. Big money and so on. Cleveland bought him out of his contract to the tune of 12 million or close to that.

Go to the jills, they’re screaming for relevance. Being a loser since the begging of time will do that do a franchise.

I like how people point to his time with the Browns as a reason for him not getting another shot in the NFL.
Who has done well in the NFL wastelad that is Cleveland?
At least he managed to get them to the playoffs which no other head coach has done since the franchise returned to the league.
BTW were the Pats stupid for giving Belichick a 2nd chance as head coach after he took the Browns 4 losing seasons in 5 years on the way to a 36-34 record? Those 3 Super Bowl wins mean nothing right, nobody talks about those, just his time as a failure in Cleveland, right, RIGHT?

To be fair, can you REALLY judge a coach who didn’t win in Cleveland? Who was the last coach to consistently win there?

Belichek failed in Cleveland and how many people can honestly say they wouldn’t want him coaching their team after the last decade plus of success in Boston?

Some perennial losimg junior varsitty high school program out in the middle of nowhere in Missouri or Wyoming might give ole’ Butch another shot at a head coaching gig, if it’s about coaching and not about money for him.

He led the Browns to the playoffs with Tim Couch and Kelly Holcomb at QB. That has to count for something.

I want Kate Upton to be my next wife, but I’m not talking to the Associated Press about it, which is odd, considering the odds of that happening are greater than Butch Davis being a NFL head coach again.

Because, it worked out so well here in Cleveland.

What NFL team wouldn’t want to step right up and sign on to the years of success that comes with having Butch lead your team?
