Five Reasons Why Texas OC Greg Davis Is The Best In The Country

So here it is, the culmination of the conversion process for the remaining unswayed Greg Davis haters.  If for no other reason, we need to turn public opinion around on this man so that he can see the same fate as so many defensive coordinators who we've come to appreciate under Mack Brown.  He'll be hired away from Texas to be the head coach of another program. 

It's as simple as that.  To rid of him we must revere him.  And, in case you haven't caught on, that's what this list is all about.  Putting on a smile for the media so that we can remove what I believe to be the weakest link on a team that is just one year away from making another serious run at the National Championship. 

 

On a more serious note, I can respect Greg Davis for what he's done so far.  Becoming the OC at a school like Texas is no small task.  Although I'm admittedly unfamiliar with Davis' coaching accomplishments prior to 1998, I understand that he must have, in some way, proven himself worthy of the position.  I'll also admit that perhaps fans such as myself have been a tad harsh on him, and he probably didn't get a fair chance to show fans what he was all about before the scrutiny came raining down.

Nevertheless, high expectations are part of the job description. Despite some improvement I've seen from him in the past few seasons, I still find myself scratching my head a few times a game at how the offense is being run.  That is a huge red flag in my mind, and I think that if next year (or, less likely, this year) is to be our year, it would be best if Greg Davis were left out of the party.  It's obvious at this point that Mack will do nothing about this situation, so it's time to resort to other means.  After all, money talks, and what coordinator doesn't dream of becoming the top dog?

Regardless of who the coaches are, however, I am and will always remain a tried and true 'Horns fan.  Hook 'em!
