Cowboys Fired ‘Life Coach’ Under Mike McCarthy Hired by Packers
The Dallas Cowboys’ assignment of Rob Davis as “assistant head coach” was an unusual one, as Davis - a former Green Bay Packers king-snapper - had never really coached before.
As he once explained to CowboysSI.com, Davis is essentially a “life coach.”
This spring, Davis was let go by the Cowboys, despite his close relationship with head coach Mike McCarthy, who’d relied on him in (via the Packers website) “focusing on mentoring players and developing the locker room, while helping maintain cohesiveness between players, coaches and football operations.”
The Packers announced on Tuesday that there is a newly created position in that organization as Davis “will lead learning and development initiatives aimed at providing opportunities for staff members to grow and excel, and will advance the team's diversity, equity and inclusion goals,” per the Packers site.
Davis’ title is “director of organizational development & diversity, equity and inclusion.”
"We're excited to welcome Rob back to Lambeau Field in this new, critical role," said Packers president Mark Murphy. "Rob is the ideal person to lead our efforts in these areas.”
Following his Packers playing career, Davis worked for nine years as the Packers' “director of player engagement” before moving into the business world and then joining McCarthy at The Star in 2020.
