“Obviously, I’d love to be considered for that opportunity,” Davis said, Via 790 The Ticket . “Time will tell whether that’s the direction the school wants to go.” “I’ve told people many, many times: everything I ever accomplished as a coach has its roots in Miami,” Davis said. “When you spend 11 years there, you’ve got an awful lot invested in the community. Hopefully my name will be one that will have an opportunity to be considered.”
