Fanblogs.com: What are Butch Davis's plans for 2009?

I could see Davis at Penn State more after the Zook effect takes out Paterno's eventual successor.

What Zook effect?

When a legend retires/dies their replacement almost always is unable to live up to the shadows they are up against, like Zook after Spurrier at Florida and numerous others.
Whoever takes over for Jo Pa will have a short career there.

I thought The Zook Effect was rounding up the most talent at an unusual place and failing to take advantage of it on the field...
Hey Ben, have you, Kev, and WEA thought about making a Fanblogs Glossary?

From WEApedia:
ZOOK. zuok v. To be forcifully removed from a coaching position by a website. From Latin, zuke, meaning 'swindled'. Ex. With all his posting on Fanblogs, some accused Clemson Joe of trying to zook Tommy Bowden...

Joe, Terry Don Phillips landed in Oklahoma City yesterday in a twin turbo prop registered to Clemson, around 5 PM, reports from todays paper is that he was here to interview Wilson or Venables...

Thanks for the head's up. I caught wind of this last night from a friend. What are your thoughts on Venables?

He shows a lot of emotion on the sideline and will get in your face when he needs to, but if I had to judge him from this year's defense, I'd probably not hire him........but if you look at his record overall, he's been pretty good.....

I hear that he's a really good recruiter, is that true?
I'm wondering who he would hire as coordinators, because it seems like in football today, especially with most of the bigger programs, the coordinators are the ones who do most of the work, and the HC is mostly for recruiting and staff management; more of a CEO if you will.

Yeah, I think he's a good recruiter, although not great, there's been a few that has slipped away that I thought was fully hooked...

I'd be more easily swayed by that argument if Zook were more successful at Illinois.
Ben Prather

I'm hoping he can earn some credentials in their next game.
Tom_Blogical

I'm sure you are. However, one big win over a big name program per season doesn't give anyone "credentials", unless they couple those wins with conference championships.

BTW. You do remember The Fightin' Zookers got punked by Western Michigan last Saturday, right? Oh, let me guess...they were "looking ahead".
They should've beaten that team in their sleep.

Nope. The Fightin' Zookers stink it up again.

Butch Davis will stay put unless Tigers or Vols or Nitty Lions or Irish offers a lot more money than Chapel hill
Lennie Collins

You are right! It should not come as a surprise. He is going to leave if the money is more!

Davis said virtually the same things in 2000 at Miami as he's saying now - that he had no intention of going anywhere. Obviously, he wasn't honest then, and although he may have increased his integrity level in eight years, I think you have to discount anything he says. I don't see him leaving just to take another job when he's on the verge of doing something special at UNC. Oh, wait a minute....silly me....the $$$, and Davis has proven before that he's a whore for the money. But what top jobs are open or may become open that would make sense to walk away from a good gig at UNC? Tennessee, Auburn, Penn State, Washington, Texas Tech, Clemson, Kansas State? I don't see anything out there that makes sense....except - for Davis - the $$$.

I could see Davis at Tennessee...I would really like to see Davis at Tennessee.
Really...that would be a win-win-win for me...

Who has the biggest checkbook??...thats where he's going. He was building a dynasty in Miami(another one that is....) and ruined it when the late Al Lerner opened up his checkbook with the Cleveland Clowns.
