The Davis High School announced Thursday it has chosen Dan Gazzaniga to take over the Davis High School football program. Gazzaniga, a former UC Davis player and assistant coach who signed as a free agent with the Los Angeles Raiders in 1985, was offensive coordinator for the Blue Devils last season under Jim Johnson, who stepped down in December.
This was no doubt the right hire. The offense moved the ball much better last season with Gazzaniga in charge and there may be few harder working individuals in Davis.
Gazzaniga has some challenges ahead. The Blue Devils were 7-4 last season and reached the postseason for te first time in 11 seasons. However, that was a senior-heavy bunch and next year's team will miss quarterback Scott Malinoff, running back Jake Lubisch, wide receiver Mauricio Davidson or defensive lineman Steven Hoffart.
Linebacker Cody Keefer and tight end Tanner Mohr should be among the top returners.
