Nick Davis enters his ninth season on the Rose-Hulman staff and his sixth year as defensive coordinator in 2020. He was promoted to assistant head coach and recruiting coordinator for the 2018 season.
Davis has led one of the nation's top defenses over the last four years. His spread defense has led the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference in total defense (2015) and scoring defense (2016).
His 2017 team featured Associated Press first-team All-American defensive lineman Mike Riley, who led all NCAA football players in sacks during the 2017 regular season. Riley was also named Defensive Most Valuable Player as part of a unit that included three all-region honorees (Riley, Kaelen Garner, Alec Thompson).
The 2018 and 2019 squad combined for eight first-team all-conference performers, including three in the most recent 2019 campaign.
