Utah Utes football: New offensive line coach Tim Davis no stranger to U.

At 6-foot-6, 280 pounds, Davis is the right size to play offensive lineman, but he'll leave that to the young guys. He prefers to spend his spare time on the golf course and has enjoyed getting to know the local courses since his return to Utah.

And after 10 stops in nearly three decades, the 53-year-old Davis would like to stick around Utah for awhile.

"I love it here and my family loves it," he said. "It's changed so much, yet stayed the same. They've done a great job with the university here with the programs. Mac started it, then Urban and now Whit. Whit's done a tremendous job. He has a plan and is on the right road."
