Cam Going to Get Dawson a HC Gig?

Doesn't strike me as a HC-type. Not much of a recruiter. Seems like the kind of guy, when presented with the challenge of rebuilding an entire program (Southern Miss, ECU), would say "Nah, I'm good"

Maybe he would take a job, who knows. I'd like him to stay.

If he gets a hc offer he would be dumb not to take it if his goal is to be a hc. He probably wont get another shot so better strike while it’s hot and the shine wear off
 
I dont know why anyone would want to be a coach at a place like ECU in this day and age other than ego (which I know many have)

These schools are going to become more and more of a minor league system for other schools.

If you arent wired to recruit High Schoolers, Transfers, and keep your own players at an elite level I'd stay as a Coordinator for years. Esp if you are getting 7 figures.

Just one you think you have a group of Freshman/sophomores who you have developed and are about to be Jrs/Srs' you get raided.
 
Who is the Washington State QB coach who runs this offense, developed Cam, and now has another young QB thriving? Could be a natural Dawson successor and let us continue sailing the high seas.

Never pick a coach on 1 QB... Needs multiple success. If anything, Lashlee with VanDyke was the proof... Dawson fumbled last year....

Luckily for Dawson, he’s coached more than just 2 QB’s and has been successful. 🤣
 
Who wants the headache? I'd do a Mickey Andrews... Lifetime security.. top 1% pay in America.... The rest is history...

Don't know that ECU is where you'd want your first HC gig to be. Seems like a one way trip back to being a coordinator.

Chuck HATED ECU....especially from 92-94 (was there in 89 as well) was beyond grateful that Butch called in 95 and offered him the DB & STs job.

We’ve recruited the kid from Georgia, but he’s going to be a Frosh. Other than Emory and puffnstuff, we’ll have to portal.

Or pay Brady to come out of retirement.

Unless he's got that, "must be a HC no matter what bug," I think OC at UM is the better gig, especially this day and age-- NIL, portal, more scholarships. It seems to me that you'll be fighting an uphill battle while the "big guys" cut your legs off every time you've got a player or two worth a buck. Schools like ECU would thrive on developing overlooked recruits who lacked jump off the page athleticism, but were good football players. That seems impossible now.
