Greg Davis

When I became a man, I put away childish things.

Well, I've asked my friend, Coach Greg Davis, the former offensive coordinator for the University of Texas for 13 seasons.

He won a national championship in 2005 and produced Vince Young, one of the greatest quarterbacks in college football history.

He served his last five years as Iowa's offensive coordinator under Kirk Ferentz, and he won the Broyles Award for the nation's top college football assistant in 2005, has coached 22 bowl games, and helped develop quarterbacks who became household names.

Right.

I mean, if you do anything that is detrimental to the club, you could be fined.

Well, we're talking to Coach Greg Davis, the offensive coordinator for the University of Texas for so many years, won a national championship in 2005 with Vince Young.

We're talking about vulgar celebrations and the state of our country.

He's the defensive coordinator for Oregon.

But Greg Davis, the offensive coordinator for Texas, said the most important thing tonight is not to abandon the run.

We have to stick to our guns because we need to have balance to have success.

We can't just try to throw to win.

Mike Tirico, Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit, Dr. Jerry Punch.

spinning four three ryan mitchell the second hit here's dr jerry on the sideline after the last texas possession chris simms came to the sideline and was talking to the coaches up there talking to greg davis he got off the phones walked over and basically what he was telling the receivers is this is exactly what we were told was going to happen they're going to do some things they move the safety to confuse me and then receiver coach daryl drake walked over and told his three young freshman guys Enough with the talking.

Don't worry about talking.

So that's gonna be the conundrum and thing for Sark.

Uh, Vince Young wasn't compatible with Greg Davis.

Exactly.

Exactly.

... writers and broadcasters who are out there saying, "Nah, gotta move Vince Young to receiver.

Ain't gonna work at a quarterback." And then that week going to the Texas Tech game, they're going to play Lubbock.

They sat down, they watched some old Madison tapes, and Mack and Greg Davis saying, "We, we need that guy." And that was VY saying, "Then y'all need to let me be that guy."

Hmm.

And I thought, you know what? He's right.

And Greg Davis was sitting next to me, our offensive coordinator, and he said, watch the video.

He's really good.

My wife Sally's on the other side, and she said, I think his hair looks really cute.

Willie Fritz is a huge influence.

Greg Davis.

There's a ton.

The list goes on and on.

And when I say typical, I don't mean typical of Steve Sarkeesian.

All the way back to Mack Brown and Greg Davis.

You remember that? We'd be in the Red River shootout.

First place swing pass, five-yard loss.

We were talking about Texas had just beaten North Carolina.

Mack Brown was in his third year, and I think everybody was complaining about Greg Davis and his play calling and tunnel screens when the first plane hit.

But either way, that's etched in your memory.

And I know for a lot of people, because I hear I've heard from a lot of you that you heard it from our show, and that'll be next hour about 7.42, 7.43 was when first plane hit Eastern time, 7.40-ish, 7.42-ish our time here in Austin, Texas, and the world will never be the same.

That was important, too.

I used to tell the assistant coaches, your job is to keep your stuff in your room.

Right.

I don't need to be coaching your position.

We always said there's a concern with these other two.

You got to get better.

Same thing with the assistant coaches and staff.

And then I would ask them, what do you see that I need to do better? So I think just having open conversation, being very transparent, but being very critical on yourself.
