Rumor (OP speculates that) Dawson (might be) gone?? (but does not provide any info)

Word on the street is that there is definite smoke about Miami Oc Shannon Dawson Being fired, or if he is not being fired, then taking another job opening, or at the very least, staying on as OC for the Hurricanes. Expect an announcement this afternoon, unless this drags on until tomorrow, in which case you can expect something from the university by Thursday, unless things are delayed by unforseen circumstances. The lead Candidate to take over for Dawson, should be leave or be terminated, is Ken Dorsey, or possibly Jason Candle, unless it's not. If those two Candidates fall through there are several contingency options in place that might or might not be available.

Mario has been after Jason Candle for YEARS
 
AFCA was last week. We didn't have any coaches there that I noticed. I went Monday for a 35 under 35 thing with a buddy that made the list this year. Ended up sticking around to see Lashlee's session and snuck into the end of the coaches panel to see Dave Aranda. Ended up at the RPO session Tuesday before I drove back home.

I Saw Manny Diaz and his crew and they did their usual thing inviting people up to their suite with a cooler of beer in the middle of the after party. Had a few beers with a friend who is now on Florida's staff and his buddy from when they were both at GT.... who is apparently UF's pass game coordinator... I was talking **** about them bringing in Philo to be their guy too. I was thinking he was just another off-field type guy.

First time I had never seen a Miami staffer there. This was also the first time we've been playing this late in the year LOL
If I wanted to evaluate NFL guys with QB backgrounds and who’d fit with our splits and DUO preferences, say like someone currently working for the Rams, what would be some names on that list?

As an OC candidate?
 
it was clear we could not move their DL, so YES he should have done something about it after two runs produced nothing. this is for all the marbles. there is zero room for error.

i will say this, Miami beat Miami and we got thoroughly outcoached on both sides of the ball. and EVEN with that, we still had a chance to win the game. in fact, we should have won the game.
add to that the WR weren't getting open most of the game...

no, don't touch those guys. they are hopefully headed to my Pittsburgh Steelers to replace the insipid Arthur Smith
 
I have ZERO inside info, BUT.....after the SMU game when they were yelling at each other, I *assumed* Dawson was done.
 
He was limited. But we hung our hat on getting an injured QB from the portal/league. Did Beck become limited at 7:50pm on Monday night?

But then became unlimited at the start of the second half?

Biggest game of Dawson’s life and the offense did **** for 2 full quarters.
I felt it was pretty apparent after the first drive or two that he needed to change it up a bit.
It was also apparent that the WR weren't open and he needed to be more creative with moving people around. How about a RB screen? Something we hardly ever did. It was just too predictable.

I think beck arm was not 100% healthy and down the field accuracy wasn’t consistently there, plus outside of Toney no real down the field juice at receiver or threat at tight end. I will take what we did on O this year honestly and still made the championship game despite being handcuffed.
