He is a monster recruiter in that area.  Will get better talent into FIU immediately.

Agree! The question in my mind is...can he keep them eligible?

[MeanGreen_MBA]

Could be a game changer!!

Nice... anything to improve Cusa!! GMG 

[THOR]

Fiu fans on the Cusa board didn't want this to happen, from what I remember

[Harry]

A lifelong cheater who will likely be successful and bolt FIU as soon as he can.

[NM Green]

Of course we will most likely get FIU next year when they turn the corner.  Let's Go Mean Green!!!!!

[UNTLifer]

They will be on probation in 3 or 4 years.

[Mean Green 93-98]

They were supposed to hire him last time around, but something fell through.

At his age, I would suspect that this will be his last stop.

But not after he puts them on the map with wins.

Brings instant credibility media attention.

It looks like Davis is bringing Dan Hawkins, former head coach at Colorado, to be his OC.

I will always associate Hawkins with his success at BSU

If you guys aren't worrying, you should. Dan Hawkins is a helluva coach. His crazy infatuation with making his talentless son a FBS quarterback killed his career at Colorado. McCarney & McNulty had nothing on this guy at CU. In any case, with no more kids playing ball, I'm thinking he'll be back in form and FIU will be very dangerous in a few years.

What are they paying these guys? Big jump for FIU!!

So what is the recruiting pecking order in Florida now?  Does this make FIU and better destination than UCF and South Florida?  Could they be the 4th best destination in Florida behind the big 3 (Florida, Florida State, Miami)?  I don't know about instant credibility.  But it makes it look like FIU is actually trying, swinging big.  His successful HC run at Miami occurred when 2016-2017 recruits were in diapers.  Might hold weight with the parents but with good parent concerned about their child's education it won't.
