Greg Davis (old BR)

We got word last night that the former Texas offensive coordinator is strongly considering applying for the HC job on his own, and that's why he told Brewster he wouldn't consider the OC role. His record at Tulane from 88-91 was 14-31 in his only stint as a head coach (replacing the 11-23 Mack Brown), and has also worked over the years at Texas A&M, Arkansas, Georgia, and North Carolina.

Davis - for all his criticism at UT - is widely considered the most effective recruiter of the Beaumont/Port Neches-Groves "Golden Triangle" area and is a former McNeese QB. There's a laundry list of ex-Longhorn offensive players in the NFL that played under him, and he's been to two BCS title games.

This was confirmed out of nowhere on Christmas Eve - I blame the eggnog - but it's from our best UT related source. Note that I said "strongly considering", not hired or interviewed or anything of that sort. Mr. Parker and his search team are doing their thing, and we respect that. One of the reasons we started this site was to pass along news, and the interest of one of the most polarizing figures in UT's history is certainly newsworthy.

I have a shitload of family obligations today, but this site is fully mobile capable. If Justin, Brent, or I hear anything else we'll let everyone know. Merry Christmas, Bobcats.
