Based on discussion that can be found at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College football/Archive 23#Tree littering, in order for a biography article to contain a coaching tree list or section, that coaching tree's notablity must be established by multiple reliable third-party sources that explicitly discuss that coaching tree or that coach's legacy of mentoring disciples who then went on to become head coaches. Sources that merely report that X worked under Y do not suffice to establish the notability of a tree.

Several of Davis' assistant coaches from his head coaching positions have gone on to be NFL and college football head coaches.

Special teams coach Chuck Pagano would become the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, Greg Schiano would become head coach at Rutgers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and then back to Rutgers, and Larry Coker became the head coach of the University of Miami following Davis' departure and later coached at The University of Texas at San Antonio.
Oregon head coach Mario Cristobal served under Davis as a graduate assistant from 1998 to 2000. Randy Shannon served as the linebackers coach for Davis' first three years at Miami. Former Tulane head coach Curtis Johnson was an assistant under Davis at Miami. Davis' tight ends coach at Miami, Rob Chudzinski, is a former head coach of the Cleveland Browns. Chudzinski also worked in Cleveland when Davis was the head coach of the Browns.

Everett Withers replaced him as the head coach at North Carolina for the 2011 season. Withers was the head coach at Texas State University until 2018 when he was fired. The secondary coach in Cleveland under Davis, Todd Bowles served as the interim head coach of the Miami Dolphins in 2011 and is former head coach for the New York Jets.[112] Davis' special teams coach in Cleveland in 2004, Taver Johnson, served as the interim head coach of Arkansas for a brief time during the spring following Bobby Petrino's departure and currently is the cornerbacks coach.
Bruce Arians served as offensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns under Davis from 2001 to 2003.
