I'm not gonna complain about this hire. Upgrade from Gattis and potentially will put our guys in opportunistic places to make plays. Not sure of his crootin chops, but if we can light up the scoreboard, I'm all in
Was bummed when Fisch left. I really like how he featured the RB in the passing game and had outlets when the play breaks down
Kinda like when our fans said Manny took over the D for Baker? Then Baker gets fired and Manny definetly took over the defense and we still sucked?
Very good. I admittedly needed a few seconds to get the joke but that is one me. Well done.
We gotta stop hiring former FSU guys….

Interesting if true
Yea someone explain what he runs? Mario is going to tell him to run a balanced offense.
Nicholson was on the Southern Miss staff with Dawson.

I mean I guess we’ll just never be happy. And I’m okay with that. But can we admit it? Lmao
I do understand what you mean in terms of a new and different offense to what we’ve had here at UM. That’s not the issue for me.
But it seems that you are implying that anyone hesitant on the hire shouldn’t be which after getting burned with the last guy that some thought did the play calling and other said he didn’t, it’s hard to decipher at this point.
I will take the word of @JustAFanHTX for sure on this as that’s his school, his land, his area of expertise. But I will still be cautious with it until I see it with my own eyes in real games.
That's where we need him. If he truly takes on that mindset and the accountability he preaches (and applies it to himself) he has a solid chance of succeeding here.
He was a **** of an LB at FSU. But I have the same gut reaction as you. He can’t be worse than Dugans right?

I ‘m sure already posted but unable to find - this is not the SEC hire nor a name that came up in any thread that I recall, correct?
Less than the amount that will post screen shots of UH fans professing their joy that he's gone. More than those giving valid reasons for why they like/hate hire.

So mario likes him because of his run game. Any reason to be concerned here?
What did he want to see more of that Dawson then changed?
Yeah, Lashlee at least had the right idea of what Miami should be.
Spread the field. Go fast. Make the defense make leverage decisions, and then attack the space they thin out either, with RPO or Read-Option. And keep the passing concepts simple with easy reads.
Biggest problem I have with a lot of the “pure” Air Raid guys is they don’t do that.
Very few play with pace.
They aren’t RPO heavy, with some running little to no RPO.
And they aren’t reacting to what the defense chooses.
Leach was the embodiment of that. He had like 5 plays, and he just ran them. It wasn’t as much down and distance and defensive alignment driven. He just called the plays. What the defense was doing was irrelevant to that.
It’s one reason why Leach and some of the pure Air Raid guys can have games where they struggle badly. Because the defense has taken away what the Air Raid wants to do, and it doesn’t have a counter punch. It just keeps calling the mesh and 4 verts.
