Aransas Pass ISD Superintendent Dr. Glenn Barnes announced Tuesday the hiring of Karnes City assistant football coach Richard Davis to serve as the high school’s next athletic director and head football coach.
Davis, who is the son of Gregory-Portland athletic director Brent Davis, returns to the Coastal Bend where he previously coached at Gregory-Portland, Calallen and Angleton.
“We are excited to welcome coach Richard Davis to Panther Country,” Barnes said in a news release. “When we set out to find our next athletic director and head football coach, our goal was to identify someone who is not only smart and detail-oriented but also brings a strong work ethic, a win-now mindset, and, most importantly, a deep passion for supporting students. Coach Richard Davis checks all of those boxes.“

During Davis’s most recent season at Karnes City, the Badgers saw an average of 31.2 points per game, with an average of 191 rushing yards and 130 passing yards, or 321 average yards per game, a 22 points per game and 197 yards per game improvement from the previous season.
Barnes said the job opening attracted more than 50 applicants before being narrowed down to six finalists. To help guide the decision-making process, the district released a survey to the coaching staff, current student-athletes and their families. The collective feedback from the surveys, combined with the district leadership profile developed during the 2023-2024 school year, provided the hiring committee with the clear standards needed to identify the ideal candidate.
“This thorough process ultimately led us to Coach Richard Davis,” Barnes said. “We’re excited to work alongside him as he supports the students and staff of Aransas Pass ISD.”
