Shannon Dawson is the New OC/QB Coach

[TemplarCane]

Please look up Kentucky 2015 roster on offense

I’ve read having a talented roster doesn’t matter. 40ppg or you absolutely suck!

#sarcasm

Man I’ve been trying hard to figure out where all the negatives were coming from but I just don’t see it other than him not being a huge name

Houston has been a better program than us lately and they had a 1,500 yard wide receiver last year

Mallory was our leading receiver

Also this guy coaches TEs and we are stacking that position

U can't make sense here. These the same dudes that thought Manny won an off season. They made fsu and UF believe Manny won an off season lol. Stupid **** travels far fam

 

[mossmadness]

@mossmadness absolutely hates this guy so we will see.

To be fair to me, there’s not actually a fan base that likes him.

Except those of teams going against him.

 

[loeTed92]

Great spacing and simple answers for the qb’s from what I’ve seen on tape. If we get a legit wr 1 then it’s gg’s. No one should be saying it’s alot to handle.

 

[Geddy Lee]

We will see what other coaches join but coming off a brutal season Mario purged a good portion of the roster, closed on a top 10 class, picked up some solid portal additions, and brought in two solid coordinators. More portal casualties and additions to come I'm sure.

 

[Canesforfame]

**** that was a quick hire

 

[nycane]

We just hired Kentucky's Josh Gattis. Hopefully this works out

thats not completely fair, stoops is stuck in past.

 

[OrangeBowlMagic]

He actually has a very diverse run scheme too..

That was something Feldman mentioned too. He's evolved a lot in his creativity in the run game.

 

[chilltill]

Tank your lil cuz??? That’s a solid young dude

Yessir we tried to get him to come to UM last year, hindsight I’m glad he stayed he had 2 killer seasons at UH.

BIG YIKES

 

[Tracy724]

We love him in houston he got connections to anybody he wants as soon as he asks.

SPC! Glad to see you like this hire! Are you able to tell us how is he as a recruiter, and more importantly, a developer?

 

[OrangeBowlMagic]

thats not completely fair, stoops is stuck in past.

He also coached at Kentucky for one season in 2015 LMAO.

We really do have the worst fans.

 

[RVACane]

Everyone waiting for @Memnon to chime in…

He doesn’t want the pressure.

 

[htownkidd]

Whatever, the bed is made now.

There’s some upside here with him not being bro style but I’m not fired up at all. Now we need a recruiting animal at WR Coach but more importantly someone who knows the system. Just glad it’s over.

Props to 247 for dropping the name first.

 

[nycane]

May not be the perfect hire but you're going to attract WRs to play in this offense again. Speeds up the learning curve of the passing game for Jacurri. Air-raid is very easy to learn and to apply on the field.

Does this make us 10-2 or 11-1 next year? No. But I think we capitalize on what we do have and TVDs last year is a good fit in the system. Year 1 under Dawson will far exceed year 1 under someone like Applewhite, Streeter, etc.

I expect 30 points per game.

he also provides balance. he will have a better run game than lashlee

 

[Zanecane]

This is a great hire. Mario deserves credit for proving everyone wrong. He owned his mistakes and adapted quickly.

Both the OC and DC fit what college football is all about now

 

[stormbrewing]

Did it really have to take so long to get Houston’s OC? Oh well.. we move on

 

[RozayCane]

Hmmm maybe I was wrong.. maybe Mario isn’t as stubborn as I thought about his offensive philosophy.

If we can score 35+ and play solid defense. Mario might just be alright with me.

Now let’s go get Coley, and make sure DVD stays.

 

[Mackmiller974]

To be fair to me, there’s not actually a fan base that likes him.

Except those of teams going against him.

If you say so.

 

[JayCane20]

We just hired Kentucky's Josh Gattis. Hopefully this works out

Much like Josh Gattis was never going to be successful here... Dawson was never going to be successful there.

I'm just happy Mario showed he's going to run something different than he's always run.

At worst its a B- hire for the circumstances.
