Auburn hires Austin Davis as OC

His football coach at West Lauderdale ran the same offense that Army/Navy run.  The old Georgia Southern double wingback triple option offense. As a result, his football talent was understated as they rarely threw the ball. 
USM actually offered him in baseball first and football second. 
 

Had he been at Meridian High, with Coach Weems running the four outs wide open offense at that time, he would have been an All-State QB with offers coming from everywhere. He was two years ahead of Tyler Russell at MHS (and you saw what kind of QB he was). 
 

But he had a great career at USM and that 2011 team was an upset (against UAB of all teams) away from being in a New Years Day Bowl. Unfortunately for USM that was their  high point in football and the very next season they fell to 0-12 and have never been the same since. 
 

Very happy for him and wish him well except for when Auburn plays State. Comes from a very good family.

McElroy said his sources were saying Davis was unfit for his position and going to be fired if he didn’t resign.   
 

I take back what I said about Davis being back in the NFL.  Lol 

I'm starting to lean towards Davis leaving a toxic situation more than what McElroy said. Wouldn't be surprised if he was picked up soon. The Seahawks raved about him.

Agree with you. Austin Davis is a man of high character and integrity and I don’t put much stock in what McElroy says. Plus it is in his best interest to run down Auburn, given his background and the fact the media people enjoy stirring a hornet’s nest.
