Billy Davis Biography :

Billy Davis enters his first season with the Cardinals and the 16th as an NFL assistant after he was hired on 1/19/07 to coach linebackers. Davis joins the Cardinals after spending the past two seasons as the San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator.

In 2006, the 49ers defense was highlighted with cornerback Walt Harris’ first Pro Bowl selection after tying with an NFC high (GB-C. Woodson) eight interceptions including one returned for a touchdown (@ Den). Harris also led San Francisco with five forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. The veteran corner was not alone in producing a career season under Davis’ tutelage. Linebacker Brandon Moore, in his second season as a starter, had a break out season with a team and career high 114 tackles (67 solos) including a team high 6.5 sacks.

San Francisco’s 2005 defense ended the season strong in the team’s last two wins against St. Louis and Houston. Davis was forced to shuffle a defense that spent almost half the season without three starters in the secondary. In addition, the unit featured several newcomers who played a vital role in the defense without the benefit of spending time in training camp.

Davis joined San Francisco after completing one season (2004) as linebackers coach of the New York Giants. Prior to the season in New York, Davis spent the previous three campaigns as the Atlanta Falcons linebackers coach. During that span, linebacker Keith Brooking was selected to the Pro Bowl in each of his three seasons under Davis. In 2002, Davis was instrumental in helping Atlanta’s linebackers adjust to a new 3-4 defense installed by then defensive coordinator Wade Phillips.

Davis grew up as a ball boy hired by Dick Vermeil (Philadelphia) and Don Shula (Miami) as a child while his father, Bill, served 13 years in the NFL including six years as the Cleveland Browns’ director of player personnel.

After beginning his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Michigan State, Davis joined the NFL in 1992 as a defensive assistant with the Pittsburgh Steelers under Bill Cowher. With a playing and coaching career primarily on the offensive side of the ball, Davis worked for three seasons with the Steelers on the defensive side of the ball.

As a defensive and scouting intern, Davis sat in meeting rooms with a list of former and current head coaches including Cowher, Dom Capers, Marvin Lewis and Dick LeBeau.

In 1995, Davis began a four-year stretch as the outside linebackers coach with the Carolina Panthers under Capers. With Davis as their coach in 1996, linebackers Kevin Greene and Lamar Lathon finished first and second in the NFL in sacks, with 14.5 and 13.5 respectively. Each made the Pro Bowl and the second-year Panthers advanced to the NFC Championship Game.

After leaving Carolina, Davis had a pair of one-year stops, first with the Cleveland Browns (1999) as a defensive assistant/linebackers and next with the Green Bay Packers (2000) as a defensive assistant/defensive line.

A native of Youngstown, OH, Davis was a college quarterback and receiver at the University of Cincinnati from 1985-88. He also spent time in training camp with the Miami Dolphins.

Born November 5, 1965, Davis and his wife, Sherry, have four daughters, Monica, Brooke and twins Grace and Ava.
