June would win a lot for you seeing that you have a beach nearby

This is best tweet I've seen today for sure:
TomFornelli Wait, so Pete Garcia's official title at FIU is "Executive Director of Sports and Entertainment?" So is this like his heel turn?

We need a defensive coordinator. Imagine Doc, Seider and Cristobal recruiting So Fla.

Lock. Down.

Is that what you do when you're bored in that backwater town of yours? Spin yarns and throw out sh!t to see what sticks.

Please provide one shread of evidence regarding this accusation or shut the **** up.

If by "lock down", you mean "after the FL schools and SEC schools take their cut, we'll get Sloppy Sixteenths"...then sure, lock it down!

coming from a Memphis fan and that joke football program thats funny

I can't see Butch Davis going that low to come back into coaching. Even if he does, he would leave in 2-3 years. This guy turned down Rutgers and Pitt to stay. Stupid move unless there is more to it.

You can put together a pretty good offense out of Florida's sloppy sixteenths.

Whaaaat? Something tells me in my gut this isn't onfield related. I mean I know they sucked this year, but not enough to fire him. Need more info on this for sure.

The AD says that this was the best team that MC has ever had and to only beat 1-11 Akron, FAU and transitional school S. Alabama was unacceptable. FIU had the #19 scoring defense last year and this year had one of the worst, even with 21 of the 22 members of the defense returning.

Now if FIU gets Butch Davis, a proven coach, in exchange, it will say that FIU is ready to hit C-USA full bore.

You wish Alum from 'Me Too U'.

Is there more to the story? otherwise I think someone at FIU made a real bonehead decision.

There's always more to the story. FIU will make national news again real soon, just hold your horses.

This http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butch_Davis would be national news for all the wrong reasons. You might win a bowl game but then it will be vacated within 4 years.

Rakeem Cato
Tommy Shuler
AJ Leggett
Rimi Watson
Stewart Butler
Kevin Grooms
Davonte Allen
Andre Snipes-Booker

Shall I go on, because we have 33 FL. kids on the roster. And all of those I listed were starters or contributed to the team except Leggett who was red shirted before the season. But then again he was the #2 Florida player and #9 CB in the nation.

Have fun getting your head kicked in my teams like UT Martin again.

Sorry for the derailment of the thread. But if Cristibal has a good D- Mind I wouldn't mind him joining the Marshall staff some way, but doubt that happens.

I love any administrator or fan from FIU acting like they are so above FAU that a win should be a given. 8-3 all time. That is all there is to say about it.

Stop living in the past dude.

Do not understand this decision at all. Took the program from literally nothing into competitive.

Has to be something more to this.
