Brent Davis returns for his fourth season as the Keydets' offensive coordinator, where he has been the architect of VMI’s record-setting spread option attack.
Davis has played key roles for the program, including serving as interim head coach prior to the 2008 season, when he helped sign 19 new players to the VMI roster and earned the Institute's Distinguished Coaching Award for his efforts.
The Keydets have led the Big South in rushing each of his three seasons as offensive coordinator, including their conference-record 357.5 YPG in 2008, a mark that also led the nation.
Davis coached the offensive line at Georgia Southern from 2002-05 and his unit helped GSU to three consecutive I-AA rushing titles (386.2 ypg in 2002, 335.6 ypg in 2003, and 370 ypg in 2004). Three Eagles reached All-America status under Davis' tutelage.
Prior to taking over offensive line responsibilities at GSU, Davis coached Georgia Southern's running backs and worked with Walter Payton Award winner and Chicago Bears back Adrian Peterson in 1998 and 1999.
Davis, an Athens, Ga. native, played two seasons at The Citadel under Charlie Taafe in 1992 and 1993. Davis transferred to Georgia his junior year,` where he lettered and also earned a spot on the Academic All-SEC Honor Roll in his senior year. Davis graduated from Georgia in 1997 with a bachelor's degree in business management.
Davis and his wife, Jennifer, reside in Lexington.
