Tim Davis, a decorated coach at the highest levels of college and professional football, was named Southern Oregon's offensive line coach on Jan. 22, 2020.
Davis was most recently the offensive line coach at Northern Arizona University from 2015-18 after stints at a handful of NCAA FBS programs, having coached in 16 bowl games and presided over offensive lines that played in front of two Heisman Trophy winners.
The previous decade saw Davis coach offensive lines, successively, at University of Minnesota, University of Utah, University of Florida, Southern Methodist University and NAU. While he coached tight ends at University of Wisconsin from 1997-2001, the Badgers played in two Rose Bowl games, and while he coached the offensive line at University of Southern California from 2002-04, the Trojans won two national championships as Davis oversaw units that protected Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart.
Davis served as an offensive line assistant for the Miami Dolphins from 2005-06 before taking over as University of Alabama's director of player personnel in 2008, when the Crimson Tide secured the nation's top recruiting class. In 2011 at Utah, his line produced a pair of All-Pac-12 tackles that helped running back John White break the school's single-season rushing record.
Davis also played at Utah, where he launched his coaching career as a graduate assistant in 1981. In 1986, he earned a master's degree in higher education Wisconsin while coaching as a graduate assistant, and later returned to Utah from 1990-96.
