Thursday, Never • i
Miami’s Davis denies rumo
Six-season Hurricanes coach maintains Florida commitm
CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — Miami coach
Butch Davis doesn’t mind having his name men
tioned year after year with just about every coach
ing vacancy in the country.
He considers it a compliment even though the
rumors make it look like he will someday leave the
Hurricanes.
Davis seemingly put those to rest Wednesday.
He emphatically said he is staying at Miami, rul
ing out the Alabama job as well as any other col
lege or pro coaching position.
“I'm not going to any other job,” said Davis,
who is 50-20 in six seasons with the Hurricanes.
“I took this job with the idea that this would be
the last coaching job that I would take, and noth
ing has changed today, in the last 48 hours or the
last six years.”
Just days after leading Miami (10-1) to its
ninth consecutive win and its first Big East title
in four years, Davis met with Houston Texans
owner Bob McNair and talked to Alabama ath
letic director Mai Moore about their respective
coaching vacancies.
But Davis said neither job would lure him away
from Miami, which has offered a five-year con
tract extension worth about $ 1.3 million annually.
Davis, 49, is in his fourth year of a seven-year deal
that pays him about $900,000 annually.
He has begun negotiations with Miami athlet
ic director Paul Dee on the new contract.
“I hope to get something done with Miami in
the very near immediate future,” Davis said.
“This isn’t going to be a deal for one year and then
jump ship. Ten years from now, maybe. I don’t
know. Maybe if I get tired from college coaching.
Who knows?”
Davis, who was named the Big East coach of
the year Wednesday, turned around Miami's pro
gram after it was hit with numerous NCAA viola
tions that resulted in 31 lost scholarships over a
three-year period.
“I took this job with the
idea that this would be
the last coaching job
that I would take, and
nothing has changed to
day, in the last 48 hours
or the last six years/'
— Butch Davis
♦ Miami coach
His success provided him with several coach
ing opportunities in recent years, including LSU,
South Carolina. Oklahoma and Arkansas. He also
had been mentioned as a candidate for several NFL
jobs, including New Orleans, Green Bay and most
recently with the Texans.
“I never had a doubt that he was staying,” said
offensive tackle Joaquin Gonzalez. “He hasn't
gotten the job done that he wanted to yet. ... We
haven't won the national championship here. He’s
done a great job here. What he’s instilled in our
minds is that he’s here for the long run,”
Added quarterback Ken Dorsey: '";
grateful that he's going to be here.HeV
best coaches in the country, whichisvei
cut in everyone wanting him.”
Davis denied any possibility tki
stay in Miami for another seasonaDd
the Texans, an NFL expansion tc
play in 2002. Houston has no lirmfc
naming a coach.
“The Houston job is somewhat
the standpoint that it’s a fresh start,theit
atives,” Davis said. "But 1 put six)
enormous amount of effort and era;
mi. We have an outstanding football!
rently, we’ve got a terrific football tea
back next year and we're having apes
ing class.”
Davis did see a downside totheTe\.

Longhorns snare themselves a
Holiday in Southern California
SAN DIEGO (AP) — The Holiday Bowl has
hooked the Texas Longhorns for its game Dec. 29.
Or, as Texas coach Mack Brown sees it, the
’Horns hooked the Holiday Bowl.
“I feel the Holiday Bowl is re
ally excited about this team, but
they can't be more excited about
us than we are about going,”
Brown said after the Longhorns
accepted the Holiday Bowl’s invi
tation Wednesday.
The No. 12 Longhorns (9-2)
have a lot to look forward to on
their first trip to San Diego, which
happens to be the hometown of
Ricky Williams, who won the
Heisman Trophy at Texas in 1998.
The Longhorns wanted to play
in this game not only for the
chance to play a top 10 team from the Pacific-10
Conference and hopefully finish in the top 10 them
selves, but also for recruiting exposure in Southern
California.
“They really, really want to be here,” Holiday
Bowl executive director John Reid said.
The Holiday Bowl would like to bring in No. 5
Oregon State (10-1), but the Beavers remain in the
Bowl Championship Series picture. If the Beavers
receive an invitation to a BCS game on Sunday, the
Holiday Bowl will invite No. 9 Oregon (9-2).
Regardless of the opponent. Brown got a head
start on scouting.
“I got the Oregon-Oregon State film out today
and started watching it,” he said during a conference
call. “I figured that’s about all we
can do between now and Sun
day.”
The Longhorns are on a six-
game winning streak going into
their third straight bowl game un
der Brown, and their 40th overall.
“We are so excited about this
trip because I think it fits our
year,” Brown said. “The oppo
nent fits our need to play some
body really good in the end to con
tinue to get better because we’ve
talked about fighting to get in the
top 10 the last three years.”
Texas is coming off a 43-17 win over Texas
A&M in which sophomore quarterback Chris
Simms, the son of former New York Giants quar
terback Phil Simms, had a breakout game with 383
yards passing and three touchdowns.
Simms started the last two games in place of Ma
jor Applewhite, who has a sprained right knee.
Brown said the Longhorns will know more about
Applewhite’s status next week when they start run
ning some passing drills around study sessions for
final exams.
“We are so excit
ed about this trip
because I think it
fits our year."
