I am coming around on having Butch Davis coming to UF. He knows the area and recruiting the State of Florida, not sure if Meyer is well-suited enough in that area. Recruiting is just as important as the coaching aspect. Zook was a good recruiter, but not a good gametime coach. Spurrier was slipping in the recruiting department when he left. Recruiting in Florida is a war in and of itself.

If I were a Gator fan, I'd be estatic over having Butch Davis. He's a very proven commodity at doing the one thing Florida needs right now: someone to resurrect a fundamentally sound program and return it to greatness.

You better get him before we LSU fans do: Davis has applied for the LSU spot before and has already said he'd replace Saban if Nick left this season.
