Bryant Davis will be the offensive coordinator on Casey's Dick first football staff at Fayetteville.

Davis arrives from Springdale High, where he held the same position. Former Fayetteville offensive coordinator Chad Harbison will remain on staff and coach receivers at Fayetteville.

"(Davis) is a guy I've known for a while," said Dick, who was hired at Fayetteville to replace Billy Dawson, who resigned to enter private business. "He's a great coach and a teacher who is going to build relationships with our kids."

Dick will lead his new team onto the field today for the start of spring drills. A lot of interest will be a quarterback where Hank Gibbs and transfer Quinn McClain will compete to replace Darius Bowers, who signed with Central Arkansas. McClain will receive most of the early opportunities while Gibbs is playing with the Fayetteville baseball team.

"We've got two good ones there who'll compete," Dick said. "Hank is playing baseball right now and trying to help the team win a state championship in baseball. Quinn will get a lot of the early reps. But both will an opportunity at quarterback, a position we feel really good about."
