Dawson Did It Again

[SpikeUM]

Larry Coker coached the best college football team of all time, doesnt make him a great coach.

At this point where does Dawson rank in all time OCs here? Gotta be top 3

#1 but CFB is different hard to compare the eras

Love the guy. But he is prickly. Might get in his way for HC job

Dawson has really grown as an OC since he’s been here. Zero complaints.

Re:HC….I’m not sure he wants to be a HC. He’s never been one. He has a great life as an OC. Mario takes the lions share of recruiting. He gets players like Malachi. And there’s so much more to being a HC these days. I think k it would take the right offer.

If a solid P4 job offers him, then I get it. But if I was an AD at said program, Dawson wouldn’t be a top choice. Not a knock on him at all. Hope he stays.

Multiple people who know him have said he does want it. I was hoping he’d stay here also long term and just be the highest paid OC but that coaches $ hits different now.

Yeah P4 HC $$$ is life-changing. He’ll get his chance soon enough if he wants it.

IIRC ….Don’t he have a couple skeletons in his closet (which is probably more of the reason that he hasn’t gotten the call yet)?

Not that I know of but I hope so. The longer he’s here the better it is for us.

Maybe it's just a good thing when the OC AND the players compliment each other

He doesn’t. That was Guidry but his weren’t in the closet. They were on various police arrest records

Dont porsters ever read or remember? He’s interviewed multiple times AT LEAST the last two off seasons.

506 yards total in kicking Pitt ***. Total domination. I'd argue he is the best OC in College Football right now in 2026.

When he inevitably gets that HC offer, we will miss him dearly.

Thank God he reminds us what he'd look like when we're not playing superstars by calling Gerard Pringle inside of our own two yard line with nothing but backups in the game as well... You might miss him dearly. But we won't struggle at all without him. The coaches that call us routinely about job availability would leave y'all scratching your heads.
