Yeah totally I watch a lot of games on Saturdays and no one runs the ball up the middle other than Dawson. It’s crazy.

I think the compelling evidence you provided is certainly the reason we scored less and not a wide receiver literally jumping up and down wide open for an easy TD
 
Tulane would be the perfect spot for him. Right region of the country, great support from administration, clear pathway to succeed. Honestly more attractive of a job than Okie State even though it’s not P4. I wouldn’t blame Dawson at all if he took it, just don’t leave early if we somehow sneak into a playoff game.

I dont get it.. Even with TVD we got good production with Dawson. Floor with a beck type is top 20 offense.. Ceiling with homerun portal QB is championship top producing offense in all the land..

Slot WR EAT in this offense, next guy might not feature same way.. We know why the offense was the way it was earlier this year, when Dawson is left to his own thing he has usually produced a productive offense, is he perfect no. But guys get spoiled very quickly, how do you upgrade from #1 offense ceiling? There is more opportunity for steep learning curve, bad fit with mario, Gattis 2.0, etc..

First day here? Welcome to CIS
 
If he gets offered that job he should 💯 take it.

He’s a bit of a safety blanket because Mario hiring coordinators makes me nervous.

I think he’s a good-enough known quantity, often very good, especially when left to call the offense without mini-Mario following him around.

It doesn’t hurt us though if the guy we are replacing just got a quality HC job as opposed to total implosion like Gaddis.

Sorry, what @skyman is referencing is from one of the midweek pressers earlier in the year, but he's way off on what Dawson actually said and meant. @TwentySix and I both clipped the video when this nonsense popped off earlier in the year.

IIRC, what Dawson said was that when we are in 3rd/4th and very short and in some of the funky goal line formations we have run, when we run the ball in those specific situations, Mirabel designs the run plays.

Somehow this got twisted into Mirabel either calls directly or forces Dawson to call every single running play.

@88 clip is in this post: https://www.canesinsight.com/threads/who-do-you-want-to-be-oc-next-season.202029/post-7928464

it's extra stupid because OL coaches, especially the experienced and successful ones like mirabal, are very often heavily involved in run scheme design. this is nothing out of the ordinary.
 
Dawson finally figured out how to use Toney. Whether it's him or someone else at OC, we'll be just fine as long as they come in here and utilize him the same way from day 1. Wildcat, backfield, motioning, out wide, slot, sweeps, trick plays, throwing passes, etc. He needs 15 touches a game Less in a blowout to keep his workload down but anytime it's close, those looks need to be in the script.

Also, it needs to happen fast if they want the QB figured out quickly.

It's not even about that. That's where the holes develop or the running backs choose on some of those zone runs.
The biggest problem is not holding those edge defenders at Bay by running zoom motion, or mixing in quarterback runs or wildcat.
We just decided on bully ball and whoever was out there on the edge had nothing to worry about. I would also guarantee you they were coached this way because the film didn't lie the first six weeks.
