===College coach=== In job hunting, he would introduce himself as "Davis from Syracuse", likely intentionally to conflate with George Davis, star halfback for the school's football team. Turned down at [[Hofstra Pride football|Hofstra University]] and by Bill Altenberg, athletic director at [[Adelphi University]] (both on [[Long Island]]), he approached Adelphi's president. What went on between the two men is not known; his biographer Mark Ribowsky suggests Davis used a combination of "bluff and con," but a half hour after Altenberg dismissed Davis from his office, he received a call from the president that he had a new freshman football coach.{{sfn|Ribowsky|1991|pp=11β13}}
