Auburn offensive coordinator Austin Davis, who joined the staff in December, is leaving the program, sources told ESPN.
Davis is leaving for personal reasons, a source told ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
Davis, hired Dec. 18 from the Seattle Seahawks, last week took some time away from the program, according to a source. It’s unclear whether the former Southern Miss and NFL quarterback will return to the NFL or step away from football.
An announcement from Auburn is expected later Monday.
Auburn hired Davis, 32, to replace Mike Bobo, who was dismissed after only one season as offensive coordinator despite two years left on his contract. Davis spent the past three seasons coaching quarterbacks for the Seahawks. An undrafted free agent, Davis played seven years in the NFL and started 10 games.
Davis is the second coordinator this month to leave Auburn, as defensive coordinator Derek Mason stepped down and then took the same role at Oklahoma State. Auburn coach Bryan Harsin promoted linebackers coach Jeff Schmedding to defensive coordinator.
Auburn Undercover first reported Davis’ departure.
