A name has been linked to the sudden vacancy at San Jose State and the coach is already a little famous.

Mike Davis, the man who succeeded Bob Knight at Indiana and took the Hoosiers to the 2002 Final Four, is reportedly interested in the San Jose State men’s basketball coaching gig.

In the aftermath of Spartans coach Dave Wojcik resigning Monday, Marc J. Spears of ESPN reported Davis’ interest in the opening. Related Articles Pac-12 football: After discouraging delay, October restart remains in play

It should be noted that Davis just signed a contract extension with Texas Southern through 2022. But those deals are essentially non-binding in college basketball.

During his five seasons with Texas Southern, the Tigers made the NCAA Tournament three times and the NIT once. In that span, Davis has been named Southwestern Athletic Conference coach of the year three times.

His 99-69 record at Texas Southern far outpaces Wojcik’s 32-90 record with San Jose State, even though the Spartans were 14-16 season last year — their best showing in six seasons.

Davis previously spent six years at UAB after six seasons helming Indiana in the wake of Knight allegedly grabbing the arm of a student. Davis was 122-73 with the Hosiers and 115-79 with the Blazers.

HBCU Sports reported that Davis has had rumored interest in several openings since turning around Texas Southern.

That list can now include San Jose State.
