Shannon Dawson is the New OC/QB Coach

[Cane6]

Without knowing a ton yet, this feels like a high risk high reward hire. Mario not taking the conservative route.

He’s worked under some good coaches, been solid at multiple P5 schools, and had his most success recently at Houston and should have good recruiting ties to Texas

He’s also shown to be adaptive along the way

If we get Galloway from UNC I’ll be absolutely thrilled

 

[CoastCane]

Well, how much autonomy is Mario going to grant him? Because Mario seems similar to Stoops. Is he going to handcuff Dawson? Time will tell.

Time will tell, but why hire an air-raid guy, just to handcuff him.

 

[NorthEastCane]

To be fair, is any OC going to make us 11-1 next year? We are still another recruiting class away from that expectation, imo.

The record doesn't matter. We need to show we've turned a corner so we can stack another class.

 

[supacane]

Man our fans don’t know a thing man. We’re a basketball school now and they don’t really even pay attention to what’s going on behind the scenes football wise. If they really cared Dana wouldn’t even have a job right now

Explain what u mean. Tell us the low down of it. Apparently Holgorsen took over during the Memphis comeback and thats when the offense took off. One of your fan said it on twitter. Not one said something good

 

[SWFLHurricane]

By miles!!!

All this secretive hiring process, and this is the pick??....Don't get me wrong, I'll roll with him, have no choice, but it's still underwhelming in my opinion.

 

[stormbrewing]

Players love it. For whatever thats worth.

The legit quit on gattis so if they love it hopefully they will learn to fight for him

 

[WeBallinBoyz]

Has this been mentioned? How uptempo is he as a playcaller?

59th this past season, 48th in 2021 in terms of plays per game.

 

[JD08]

I'll give my opinion on September 10th. I'm as optimistic as I was with Lashlee.

 

[cway313]

Next question: Does mean the coaching staff gets another shot or do we have to wait on 7 more hires?

 

[Shooter McGavin]

i feel like it got played out but then became funny again out of brute force repetition

Yea it was funny at first then got old real quick. Just like my love for beer. I haven't mentioned beer in a long time tho. This slapdick continues on daily with his stupid ****.

 

[GrozDozer]

Nussmeier to Jets

**** yeah.


Go Phins.

 

[caneholic88]

Can’t say I’ve watched any houston ball so I’ll defer to those that are more familiar saying it’s a legit hire..All I can go by is the stats..40-10 td-int ratio is no joke and we’ve done well with our past pickups from UH..

 

[STG]

The Southern Miss argument I get. Kentucky argument is stupid lol.

Someone already posted the two deep on offense. Hardly anyone is recognizable + Stoops

im not defending that.

Fact is, not under Dana he is average at best, pushing below average as an OC. Stating anything otherwise is a spin job just to make yoursel feel better.

Positive is he runs a scheme we all would like to see here. Hoping another positive is he has grown the last few years and it's not been Dana running the O.

If we get Galloway from UNC I’ll be absolutely thrilled

Now we’re talking.

 

[nycane]

He was solid. He developed Mullens. I think it’s a solid hire with a high ceiling. The scheme is a perfect fit and Mario just have gotten that through his think skull

he will have access to a much higher level of talent. im indifferent right now but let's see.

Next question: Does mean the coaching staff gets another shot or do we have to wait on 7 more hires?

well we still need a WR coach so the staff really isn't even complete yet.

 

[WR Cane]

Not many kind words for Dawson on the UH 247 site. Said the offense only got better halfway through the year when Holgerson took over play calling. They are really, seriously not upset and said yall told us about D'nofrio, now we are repaying the favor.

 

[Yoyo82]

seems most Houston fans are glad he's gone and they're saying Dana had to take over play calling duties last season since he was so bad...

definitely not a "slam dunk" or "homerun hire" I was hoping for but I'm genuinely curious to see how this goes...

 

[nycane]

well we still need a WR coach so the staff really isn't even complete yet.

and lb coach

 

[Cryptical Envelopment]

The guys results have been mediocre almost every year as OC...

The fact this is the best we can do.

36 points per game in both 2021 and 2022 is mediocre? Fascinating.
