Before the club hit financial troubles, Davis had been on secondment from London Irish to Rugby Australia to work with the Wallabies.
Davis was announced as the Wallabies attack coach in May but is said to be disillusioned with the coaching environment under Jones.
The former English Premiership defence coach is reportedly in line to join Super Rugby Pacific outfit the Queensland Reds as its defence coach under Les Kiss.
The pair have a previous relationship having worked together at London Irish, Davis as Kiss' assistant coach.
It's a startling revelation less than weeks out from their warm-up match against France.
More to come.
