Coach Davis, who is a graduate of Liberty University where he played football from 2001 to 2004, has just finished a successful first year at Gallaudet. He was in charge of coaching the team’s defensive backs and directing the football academic monitoring program. Under Davis's guidance, the defensive secondary improved their run support and discipline with pass coverage. The secondary finished the 2008 season with 11 interceptions, 15 pass breakups, and 2 forced fumbles. Coach Davis also worked closely with freshman defensive back Jared Vollmar, who finished 16th in the nation in solo tackles.

This is a great honor especially at a school where there are a few more challenges than other schools.

That's AWEsome!! He stopped by the office and called just before he headed up there. He was really excited about coaching. I wish him and his family well.
