re: Would Miami rehire Butch Davis?

However, as you said, there is no on campus stadium. there is also no way they can have an on campus stadium since there is no room and Coral Gables residents don't want to damage home values. There isn't much room to build out around the school, although I know exactly where an on campus indoor facility could go (wouldn't be huge or impressive maybe but there is room)

Their best shot was to work with Beckham and MLS to build a ~30K seat stadium that could have accomodated 10,000 temporary seats for Miami games. They would have only been 6 miles from campus then and could have a totally state of the art stadium that they sold out and actually had energy in. However it appears the admins didn't want to try and fight to get out of their lease at Sunlife so I expect them to suck for another 18 years.
