Shannon Dawson named offensive coordinator of Miami Hurricanes
Comments (1570)
I put him on ignore several years ago and it's been a blessing.
I'm sure this has been posted before. Nonetheless, I find it funny that Stoops fired Dawson in late 2015, which led to Dawson joining Southern Miss as OC/QB... Southern Miss opened @UK in 2016, and the Golden Eagles tuned them up for 44 points and ~550 yards in a win. The running game (Ito Smith & George Payne combining for 52 carries and 273 yards) was da gawd in that game. I am excited to see what our run game looks like with Dawson's air raid concepts.
Gonna see a lot of Y Cross next year

4:57 he talks about what makes him a bad coach.

Would you rather have a coordinator who had mediocre results but at a bigger program?
While being passive aggressive to boot.

Yeah.... totally different offenses. The only thing that looks familiar is the base formations, and they like the forward passing game. Air raid, and spread offenses of the 2020s have evolved and are much more versatile. It's like comparing a Ford Pinto to a Lambo. Yes they both are cars..... but that's where the comparisons end.
Hadn’t heard this yet, but an interesting tidbit that was conveniently left out by Kentucky fans when we announced the hiring.

It would read as a classic CIS thread. The UK program, Stoops and fans scapegoated Dawson IMO and I don't even consider that year when evaluating the hire. There are articles and quotes backing the notion that at that time Stoops was trying to mold his coordinators to what he wanted run.
UK Fans during 2015: "Fire Dawson he's garbage!"
UK Fans after 2015: "YES, he's gone!"
UK Fans leading up to week 1 2016: "HAHA cupcake AND led by Dawson?? PSHH who do we play week 2?"
UK Fans after week 1 2016: "WTF, wait, did we fire the wrong guy?"

Yes, he hasn't done any UM interviews yet. They will come after MC announces the whole staff at a presser. In the meantime, its valuable info on his philosophies, which, as you alluded to (maybe), have probably evolved further since.

I have a buddy that's a UK fan, you've hit his words, **** near verbatim. I'm over here dying, lol. He would love to get Dawson back, if they could. He recognizes the problem was that Stoops wanted a power down hill running game (sound familiar? lulz) and wouldn't stay outta the mans way.
Stoops clearly hamstrung and scapegoated him, not to mention the dearth of talent they had. I could care less what Dawson's stats were for his one-year stop @ UK.
