Ex-Seahawks QB coach Austin Davis resigns as Auburn offensive coordinator

Former Seattle Seahawks quarterbacks coach Austin Davis was named as the Auburn Tigers’ new offensive coordinator on Dec. 18 and he has already stepped down from the position.

Tigers coach Bryan Harsin made the announcement on Monday.

Davis issued the following statement, per ESPN:

My decision to resign is 100 percent based on personal reasons. 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.

Davis was on the Seahawks roster in 2017 and was hired as the assistant quarterbacks coach in 2019. He was promoted the next year and spent 2020 and 2021 as Seattle’s QB coach.
