That's the rumor of the day. Davis was the OC at Texas from 1998-2010. He was scapegoated for the Longhorns' losing season in '10 and resigned.
Greg Davis as OC?

Marc Morehouse has confirmed that Davis has, in fact, interviewed for the job.
@marcmorehouse
That Greg Davis thing? He's been interviewed.

i will say this. If all the stuff about tom moore and greg davis are true it shows ferentz is thinking outside the box for the O.C. position. Good stuff. Nobody should have a complaint then. Either one of those hires would be interesting.

As long as he hires someone before the first game. That would be nice. It helps to know what the plays are before the game begins. Since they got rid of the grass at Kinnick, Vandenberg wouldn't be able to draw up the plays in the dirt, so, you know, having some plays they practice before the game will be helpful.

I thought O'Keefe outclassed him in the Alamo Bowl. Oh well, he can count on having players the caliber of Vince Young if he comes to Iowa, we land guys like that all the time.

I'm not sure how interested I am in him.....not that my opinion on the subject matters.....
Iowa is never going to get the "best of the best" in terms of players. I don't know how thrilled I'd be getting a guy who spent the last 12-13 years at a school where they always got the best of the best. It's not that difficult to put an offensive gameplan together when you have the likes of Ricky Williams, Vince Young, Colt McCoy, Cedric Benson, etc, etc.
In addition, I don't know that I want a "square peg in a round hole" guy like we had with O'Keefe. O'Keefe was a good OC and head coach, but his fortay was fast-paced, spread offenses....not two-back, two tightend, pro-style sets. From most of what I saw with Texas, they were not a qb under center, run-oriented offense.

That is an interesting interviewee. I am sure he would only get hired if he has a sound I formation pro-style background. I am sure with ricky williams and benson the first years mack the knife was at texas they ran plenty of lead fullback I formation plays.
Davis sure did well with the fast paced passing game then one bad year and, like I said, Mack the Knife 'cuts' him loose, NICE!!!

Didn't we say this in regards to D-Coordinator (Bradley, Hermann, etc.)?

I think we should just step away from the ledge until Kirk make's his announcement. Sometimes the messageboard speculation just wears you out.

I don't see anyone "on the ledge" yet with the names that have been thrown out there. I've seen, for the most part, opinions about fit, playcalling, experience, etc. Things you want a message board environment to do.
