Davis was in his fifth season with the Rebels. His tenure got off to a relatively strong start, with a 20–13 season in 2018–19 that culminated in a trip to the NCAA tournament. The team would post just one more winning record during his time in Oxford: a 16–12 season in 2020–21 that ended in an NIT berth. He leaves the program with a 74–79 record and a 32–55 mark in SEC play.

Before taking the job at Ole Miss, Davis led Middle Tennessee for 16 seasons, reaching the NCAA tournament three times, all in his final six years with the Blue Raiders. The team made the round of 32 in back-to-back years in 2016 and ’17.
