Alabama High School Football Head Coaches

Arthur Davis


Arthur "Buddy" Davis attended Alabama State University High School and ASU. Davis also spent time in the Marines where he played football and earned All-Armed Forces honors. He also reached the U.S. Olympic trials as a shot putter.

Davis then spent three years in the NFL with the Chicago Bears as a starting tackle. He returned to Montgomery in 1954 and embarked on a 16-year coaching run at Booker T. Washington High School leading the team to a 139-15-2 record.

His 1963 team finished with a perfect 10-0 record. That team outscored their opponents by a total of 246 to 30 during the season. His last team, in 1969, went 9-1. His 89.1 winning percentage is still among the best in state history.

When Booker T. Washington closed after the 1969-70 school year, Davis moved to Jeff Davis where he was an assistant coach with head coach Billy Livings, helping to build the Volunteers into a powerhouse in the 1970s.

Davis also coached track during his tenure as a high school coach. While he produced some of the top teams in AIAA history at BTW, he is also noted for producing a pipeline to the NFL.
