Greg Davis (born c. 1950 in Groves, Texas) is a college football coach. He is currently the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the University of Texas Longhorns. In 2006, he was awarded the prestigious Broyles Award for the nation's top assistant coach for the 2005 season which included a national championship victory for the Horns.[2] Davis is sometimes criticized by UT fans for being overly conservative and for not achieving the full potential of his talented players.[3]
Davis attended Port Neches-Groves High School and graduated from McNeese State University in 1973, where he first met R. C. Slocum.[4] He started his coaching career at the high school level before becoming quarterbacks coach under Tom Wilson and Jackie Sherrill at Texas A&M University, where Slocum then served as defensive coordinator. Davis later became an assistant under Mack Brown at Tulane University, and succeeded Brown as Tulane head coach in 1988. Following stints at the University of Georgia and the University of Arkansas, Davis rejoined Brown's coaching staff at North Carolina, before following him to Texas in 1998.
On November 21, 2007, the Austin American-Statesman reported that Davis is a candidate for the vacant head coaching job at Southern Methodist University.[5] However, the job eventually went to former Hawaiʻi coach June Jones.
For the 2008 season, Davis' salary was raised to $425,000, making him the second highest-paid offensive coordinator in the nation, behind Florida State's Jimbo Fisher.[1]
