Nick Saban, who was born exactly two weeks after Davis on Oct. 31, 1951, later took the job and was introduced at LSU on Nov. 30, 1999. Weems along with LSU chancellor Mark Emmert and Board of Supervisors member Stanley Jacobs of New Orleans were in Miami to talk to Davis. “We were very interested in Butch,” Weems said. “He was really impressive, but the situation was that Butch knew he was going to be going to the pros sooner or later. Butch was kind of like Nick in that way. Both knew they would probably go to the NFL, but Butch embraced it. Nick had a hard time deciding.” — Shreveport Times
