Clark Atlanta University hires Heritage coach Mike Davis

Just a year into its existence, Heritage High School (Palm Bay, Florida) is looking for a new leader for its football program. Mike Davis, who came to coach the Panthers from Bayside High, has taken an assistant coaching job at Clark Atlanta University, Heritage athletic director Greg McGrew said. Heritage has less than a month to find a replacement before football workouts begin. Phone messages left for Davis went unreturned Tuesday night.

"We're looking for a head coach with some experience. If anybody is interested, they should call me," McGrew said. "We want to go ahead and get the process going and see if somebody is interested in the county." McGrew was the athletics director at Bayside and brought Davis with him to begin the Panthers' program. In five years at Bayside, Davis led three teams to winning seasons. His 2006 and 2008 teams became the first in the school's history to make the playoffs.

Heritage went 0-9 in its first season, but the team consisted of only ninth- and 10th graders. In the coming season, the older of those will be 11th-graders, and there will be three classes available for the roster.
