After joining the Tar Heels staff, Davis helped organize a team Bible study through a local church. He’s also been active on a group chat with Christian players. “You always want to be an example of Christ in the way that you walk and everything you do,” Davis told Sports Spectrum magazine in 2018.

On a 2014 episode of the “UNPACKIN’ It” podcast, Davis said he follows where Christ leads and won’t go “any other direction.” About leaving ESPN in 2012 to join Carolina’s coaching staff, he said, “This is not a job. It feels like a mission field, a ministry opportunity.”
