Davis was hired as the Tide’s defensive line coach when coach Nick Saban took over the team in 2007. In 2010, he took the same position at the University of Texas. He returned to Alabama in 2014 to coach one of the nation’s best defensive lines.

Davis’ contract runs through 2017. He’s currently making $475,000 after receiving a one-year extension and $25,000 raise last June.
