Leading up to the penultimate game of the 2021 season for FIU, head coach Butch Davis drew a clear line in the sand with his comments about how he felt the administration is “sabotaging the football program.”
As he took the field in Saturday’s 49-7 loss to North Texas (5-6, 4-3), his attire was noticeably absent of any FIU (1-10, 0-7) attire. He coached the entirety of the contest as the only member of his staff not wearing any school-related attire — the first time in his five seasons he didn’t wear any attire with a university logo.
