Auburn offensive coordinator Austin Davis officially resigned from his position Monday morning, the athletic department announced in a release sent to media. “The last week has been difficult for me as I’ve made the decision to step away from coaching football," Davis said. "Auburn University and Coach Harsin have been tremendous through this whole process. I am grateful for the opportunity that was presented to me from a coaching standpoint and equally as important, the way Coach Harsin has handled my current situation." Davis, 32, was hired last month after spending a year as the Seattle Seahawks' quarterbacks coach. He is formerly an all-conference quarterback at Southern Miss and played eight years in the NFL. “My decision to resign is 100 percent based on personal reasons," Davis said. "After more than a decade in the NFL with the daily grind as a player and coach I’ve realized how much I miss my family and my desire to spend more time with them. While I need to step away from coaching, I can’t say enough about the first-class way I was welcomed into the Auburn family and the way this football program is run with a championship mindset and a focus on developing these young men into winners on and off the field." Bryan Harsin will now be on his fifth coordinator in just over a year's time at Auburn. Derek Mason left his position for the same job at Oklahoma State, and offensive coordinator Mike Bobo was fired after the regular season. “I will forever be a fan of Auburn football, Coach Harsin, and the young men who comprise that locker room," Davis said. "I know great things are in store for this team.”

Bunker is contending he couldn’t handle the rigors and stress of the job at such demanding an institution as a basketball school like AU
I was hoping Harsin would last 4 seasons but at this point not sure who Auburn could hire that would be of concern
A guy that had never called plays and would be a first time OC crashed and burned before he even got started. Who would have thunk it? Was a dumb idea in the first place.
Shit, I'm sorry. I didn't even think about it. Tremendously stupid and insensitive post on my part. Laps taken.
