“I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Wisconsin,” Davis said.  “I’ve worked with lots of great people and many tremendous student-athletes.  This University will always hold a special place in my heart.”

A member of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, Davis coached 26 All-Americans, eight Big Ten champions and three NCAA champions while at Wisconsin.  He was named NWCA National Coach of the Year in 2010 after leading UW to a fourth-place finish at the NCAA championships.

Davis is will end his time in Madison as the school’s all-time winningest coach, leading the Badgers to 15 top-20 finishes at the NCAA championships.
