Bryan Davis was named as the ninth head coach in Wright State history on May 1, 2009. Davis comes to WSU after four seasons at George Washington, the final three as assistant coach.

Davis brings to Wright State great experience in all facets of the game. While at George Washington, he worked with the squad's goalkeepers and assisted head coach George Lidster with recruiting, training, scheduling, budgeting, fundraising, alumni outreach and monitors the team's academic progress.

A major component of his duties at GW was heading up the recruiting efforts which landed the Colonials with the 27th best recruiting class in 2008, according to College Soccer News. The highest-ranked class in George Washington history included Brice Carr (US U17 Residency Program), and Yoni Berhanu (2008 Atlantic 10 rookie of the year). In fact, one of his earliest recruits , Andrew Stadler, ranked in the top ten in scoring nationally with 14 goals on his way to being named an NSCAA First Team All Region.

Under Davis' coaching in 2006, goalkeeper Greg Yahr ranked 10th in the nation and second in the A-10 with a 5.57 saves per game average. Davis came to GW from Milwaukee where he served as the head coach of Waukesha West High School from 2003-04. With Davis at the helm, Waukesha West earned a top-five state ranking in 2004 and a ranking of 12th in the region. In his first season he mentored former Colonials Greg Yahr and Thomas Stuber and junior Mike Briscoe.

Davis also has coaching experience with several Olympic Development Programs. The Wisconsin native has been on staff of the Virginia ODP for the last three years and was a coach for Wisconsin ODP in 2004. Davis worked with the Region I ODP program after coaching in Region II in 2005. In addition, Davis served as the director of the Elite Team Camp and the Elite Goalkeeper Academy. He holds NSCAA National and Advanced National Diplomas, a USSF B License and National Goalkeeper License to go along with NSCAA Level I and II Goalkeeper Diplomas.

Recently, Davis was also head coach for the U18 Potomac Academy Team and on staff with the Potomac Soccer Club. His U-15 boys' team finished third in the nation at the 2005 U.S. Youth Soccer National Championship.

Davis played for the University of Cincinnati in 1997 and the University of Wisconsin in 1998, graduating from Wisconsin in 2001.
