Godsey played quarterback in college at Georgia Tech, where he holds several school records, and for one season in the Arena Football League before becoming a coach. He first coached at Central Florida and then the NFL's New England Patriots before joining the Texans.
Godsey was born in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, on January 1, 1979. His father John played college football for Alabama under Bear Bryant. Both his brothers played college football. His older brother Greg played at Air Force and his younger brother Gary played at Notre Dame. He grew up in Tampa, Florida, and attended Jesuit High School.

In his first year as a starter in 2000, Godsey threw for 2,906 yards and 23 touchdowns; he also had the sixth best passing efficiency in the country. The team went 9-2 that year and made it to the Peach Bowl, where Godsey tore his ACL.
