Early coaching career
In 1977, Davie began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Arizona from 1978-79. The University of Pittsburgh, commonly referred to as Pitt, is a non-sectarian coeducational independent state-related, "public" research University The University of Arizona (also referred to as UA, U of A, or Arizona) is a Land-grant and space-grant public institution From 1980-82, he returned to Pittsburgh as linebackers coach and then moved to Tulane as defensive coordinator and assistant head coach from 1983-84.

Notre Dame
In 1994, Davie began his Notre Dame career as defensive coordinator and was promoted to head coach in 1997 following Lou Holtz's retirement. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish were led by Bob Davie and represented the University of Notre Dame in NCAA Division I College football The University of Notre Dame du Lac (or simply Notre Dame) (ˌnoʊtɚˈdeɪm is a private Roman Catholic Research university located in Louis Leo Holtz (born on January 6 1937 in Follansbee West Virginia) is an author television commentator motivational speaker and former NCAA He served as acting head coach when Notre Dame faced Vanderbilt on September 16, 1995 while Holtz underwent neck surgery, with the Irish prevailing, 41-0. In five seasons at South Bend, Davie compiled a 35-25 record including three bowl games (most notably the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, a 41-9 loss), which was the first Bowl Championship Series game in school history. South Bend is a city on the St Joseph river and a twin city of Mishawaka Indiana. The Fiesta Bowl, now sponsored by Tostitos tortilla chips is a United States College football Bowl game played annually since 1971 The Bowl Championship Series ( BCS) is a selection system designed to give the top two teams in the NCAA FBS Bowl Subdivision System an opportunity to compete in a "national His final season included the 2001 AFCA Academic Achievement Award when the Notre Dame football team posted a 100% graduation rate.
Notre Dame's performance on the field was inconsistent from year to year during Davie's tenure. Following a 7-6 campaign in 1997 which saw Notre Dame overcome a 2-5 start, the Irish were poised for a major bowl bid with a 9-1 record going into their 1998 season finale against USC when quarterback Jarious Jackson suffered a knee injury on the last play of the LSU game. Jackson did not play against the Trojans and Notre Dame, its offense rendered powerless, suffered a 10-0 loss. The team had to settle for the Gator Bowl and lost to Georgia Tech to finish 9-3. A 5-7 campaign followed in 1999 and the national media began to question Davie's abilities. In 2000 the Irish bounced back and finished 9-3 once again. After receiving a contract extension, Davie promptly presided over the first 0-3 start in Notre Dame history in 2001. Athletic director Kevin White almost fired Davie after the third loss, a 24-3 setback at Texas A&M, but later decided to wait until the end of the season before making a decision. The Irish won their next three games to even their record, but losses to Boston College, Tennessee and Stanford sealed Davie's fate as the Irish finished 5-6. He was fired on December 2, one day after a 24-18 win over Purdue. George O'Leary was named to succeed Davie, who in turn resigned in disgrace after it was revealed that his résumé contained inaccuracies. George O'Leary (born August 17, 1946 in New York City New York) is the head football coach for the University of Central Florida. Notre Dame then turned to Tyrone Willingham to lead the program. Lionel Tyrone Willingham, or Ty Willingham (born December 30, 1953 in Kinston North Carolina) is the head football coach at
