Shannon Dawson named offensive coordinator of Miami Hurricanes

DTP said:

Do yourselves a favor and check out Houston’s offensive numbers before Dawson was named OC. When Dana got the job in 2019, their numbers fell off a cliff compared to the 2018 Applewhite/Briles offense. The 2020 offense was better but still nothing special. Their best two seasons under Dana were the two seasons Dawson called plays. I’m not sure what the three Houston fans in existence were expecting but considering their offense got way better the last two years than it was the two years prior, you’d think they’d acknowledge the reason. The whole “Dana took over play-calling” rumor is just a fabrication because their offense got better in the second half of the year. What they fail to mention is the second half schedule also got way easier. They played their three toughest opponents (Texas Tech, Kansas and Tulane) in the first five weeks. Even then, the only time they failed to put up 30 points was against Tulane when they only scored 24.

Houston also had an offensive exodus that 2019 season.

King redshirted after like 3 games. Their stud WR did the same. Jarrid Williams got hurt and was done for the season and came here.

So Houston went realllll young in 2019. Which is one reason why they had their best offense last year. That was the payoff for the Year 0 in 2019.

And somewhat of a concern if we’re being honest. You can’t have that many years of bad offense, and only get a payoff once the team is as experienced as last year’s. The offensive system needs to create a higher floor year to year.

Casual Houston fan: How was the game?

Rabid Houston fan: Sucked. Staff is great, but we have the worst OC. Runs too much. I hate his play calling. His shirt seems ill-fitting. I'll bet he doesn't like South Park.

Casual Houston fan: Yikes. What was the score?

Rabid Houston fan: 44-40, Houston.

I think you shouldn’t listen to any fan base really without diving deeper. The smarter sports people regardless of the sport are the ones who aren’t as dramatic on the internet. So when you see the masses cheering but one guy making points on why they’re wrong, usually the one guy is who you should be listening to. Most of the SMART uh football fans are ****ed off. We want Dana gone and this is just another excuse for him to fail going into spring

Waited ‘til February 14th to hire a guy people have never heard of who failed miserably in his stint at Kentucky and who most Houston fans are happy is gone.

Nice work, Mario.

I was only joking about the fan numbers. Everyone else gets to make fun of us for not having fans, so I wanted a chance
