Dawson Rumor

Add Charles Huff. Probably to the top

Coached at Marshall before leaving to go to Southern Miss.
From the DMV area
Went to school at Hampton
Recruited the DMV for both James Franklin and Nick Saban
Both Franklin and Saban swear by him

Also if Huff gets the job, then Southern Miss will go after Dawson


Beamer will get a call but unless VT makes a significant financial commitment for assistants, staff, NIL, and other resources he isn’t gonna consider the job.

Hadn’t heard his name, but that would be a sneaky good hire.

I'd guess
Beamer -> VTech
Lashlee -> Arkansas
Sumrall -> South Carolina
Schumann -> Florida
Golesh -> SMU

UCLA I could see going a bunch of directions. Dan Mullen if they want a guy with HC experience. Jason Eck if Wisconsin doesn't fire Fickell would make a lot of sense. Someone like Tony White could make sense.

Why the heck does Lashlee leave? He’s got a great setup in Dallas
 
I genuinely think a high end G5 school like USF is better for a coach than a crappy ACC job like Virginia Tech. Better recruiting, and the competition isn't as fierce. Do well, and you'll have much better P5 offers in no time.

Born and raised Arkansas and played for and coached at Arkansas.

SMU has money but so does Arkansas (Waltons, Tysons, Hunts). If they make the $$$ commitment I don’t see how he would say no.

VT - Fisher (stupid but I don’t see them making the $$ commitment to get anyone to leave a good job.

Arkansas - I agree. I see them working a deal to have Pittman “retire” and give him a cushy ambassador job

Florida - Kiffin
Ole Miss - Sumrall
Tulane - Napier (probably not but he should take it, G5 is his level). Dawson?
SMU - Eric Morris
UCLA - If they make the $$$ commitment? PJ Fleck or D’Anton Lynn. If not Eck or Will Stein.
 
If Dawson leaves, go get Mike McDaniels. They share plays in the Offseason anyway. 5 min walk down the hall. THATS A BIG IF!

Edit: **** might already be in the works...
I’d ******* love McDaniels great offensive coach terrible head coach . I don’t think he’d want to do any recruiting at all though dude loves his free time and is high as **** almost all the time .

I don’t think Lashlee will leave. Super low stressed amazing area to live where the money will be super close with their endless pockets.

I’d NEVER want that Arkansas job. Those people are nuts and you have 0 recruiting base.

Arkansas has incredibly wealthy alumni but they are not heavily invested in the football program. They could be a powerhouse if they could tap into that. Most of the Hunt family money goes to baseball, if I’m recalling it correctly, while the Tyson’s are big basketball donors.
 
Thats like a Mark Richt hire for them. Someone to stabilize the program before the true HC gets it to take off. Think it’s a good hire right now considering where they are as a program.
About as likely as us hiring Jon Gruden
