Bo Davis was named defensive line coach at Alabama just one week after accepting the same position at Southern Cal.
Davis, 42, played at LSU and replaces Chris Rumph, who joined Charlie Strong’s staff at Texas. Davis was on coach Nick Saban’s coaching staff in Tuscaloosa from 2007-10.
He worked with Saban with the Miami Dolphins in 2006 — as assistant defensive line coach and assistant strength and conditioning coach — and at LSU from 2002-05 as a strength coach.
Davis is a heralded recruiter who coached interior defensive linemen at Texas from 2011-13.
He was hired by first-year USC coach Steve Sarkisian on Jan. 7 but Davis reportedly told the university he was leaving for “family reasons.”
“We wish Bo and his family the best of luck. He is a good coach,” Sarkisian said in a statement. “We will move forward and find a great coach for our defensive line.”
