Will Greg Davis be back?

I personally believe that there is above a 90% chance that KF retains him as the OC. (Please God, let me be wrong!) Getting rid of him after 1 season would be admitting to everyone that he made a horrific mistake in hiring him in the first place, and it's something KF just won't do. He never admits to having done anything wrong with his program.

GD returns for a second season thereby cementing the Iowa football program as the dreg of the BIG.

The Texas fans have to laughing their collective butt off at us.
 








KF seems like a big "loyalty" guy, so I suspect GD will be back, even if we don't get another first down all year long.

That said, I don't read much into any comments KF makes about it.. Who would publicly acknowledge that they are planning to replace their OC before actually doing so? It would be like your boss telling you that they are planning on laying you off a month or two before it happens.. Just doesn't work that way.

So I suspect if Davis is NOT retained, it's the type of thing we aren't going to hear about until we see a headline that says "Davis will not return next season".

Golfer will report it 48-72 hours before then. Dude is money.

Yes, I have a very close friend that told me Greg's wife said they didn't want to put too much $$ into their home because they didn't plan on being around that long. She said that their Texas home is a different story or something along those lines. Doubt this meant they'd leave after this year but I also doubt that they plan on being here as long as Kirk plans on being here.
 


If Davis doesn't come back it will be of his own choosing. Not because Ferentz kicked him out.

And if this is the case he's certainly not going to walk away after one year. I'm sure he wants to prove himself after getting booted out of Austin and this season certainly won't help him in that regard. He's going to stick around long enough to prove a point, or at least attempt to prove one.
 


I have a different thought on the whole thing.

The Greg Davis hire never made sense from the get go and I think it was that way for a reason. What if Davis was a strategic hire so Kirk could bring Brian in as OC next year? If Kirk would have hired Brian without any OC experience people would have been upset about the whole thing. Now, since Davis has done such a poor job as the OC, they can remove him and place Brian in the spot without anybody questioning why Kirk would hire his own son as OC when he doesn't have any experience as an OC. Then when Kirk leaves in 2020 that gives Brian a good opportunity to take over as the head coach of the Hawks.

I'm not drunk, just thinking outside the box a bit.
 


Are we all forgetting that this is the same Kirk that remained extremely loyal to his coordinators and assistants for well over a decade? Kirk is not going to dump Davis after one season, no matter how bad this season ends. Won't happen.

Mr Davis is just here temporarily until Brian Ferentz is trained to be the new OC. In about 2 more seasons Brian will certainly drink enough of the Ferentz kool-aid and will be ready as far as Kirk is concerned, and James will have certainly have had enough time to be a grad assistant somewhere and then will be hired as the offensive line coach.

Now that's football, Ferentz style
 






Will he be back? Yes. Should he be back? No. The offense is a disaster. A 4-8/5-7 season is crap. Someone has to fall on the sword and it won't be KF, I think Davis should be gone.

I fully believe GD was brought in as a bridge for Brian to take the OC gig. Unfortunately losing seasons might derail the plan.
 


Does it matter who the OC is? We run the KF offense. KOK, GD, Brian...well maybe Brian could convince his dad to get a bit more modern.
