Shannon Dawson is the New OC/QB Coach

[Mr. Dynasty1]

Please look up Kentucky 2015 roster on offense

 

[ssvir]

Neg me to oblivion all you want — and I hope I’m wrong — but Dawson has been a lackluster OC for his entire career. Dig deeper than just last year at UH and you’ll see that. I think we’re in trouble.

 

[OrangeBowlMagic]

One thing I know for sure is if this board hates it, he's probably going to do very well.

[TheOriginalCane]

So did we hire him on Thursday/Friday when that one poster told me we hired a guy?

 

[Mackmiller974]

Kentucky OC for one year. They absolutely hate him.

To be fair that was 8 years ago

 

[JayCane20]

Definitely intrigued to see who his WR coach is gonna be.

I'm intrigued for the sole reason of wondering how it typically goes when a historical pro-style/physicality mentality HC hires an OC that runs air-raid/veer and shoot type offenses. Makes you think what can the offense be with this passing game combined with a Mario run game similar to what they did at Oregon.

Worked pretty well for Pittman hiring Briles. Any other examples out there?

 

[L A M P]

I don't think I would have chosen Dawson of all guys but it's a step in the right direction.

Right system, wrong coach. Eat My Poo

 

[LeavingJesusland]

****, we really want to recruit Louisiana

 

[Caned Peach]

Well at least we'll be recruiting more prominently in LA, MS, and east TX w/ both of our coordinators being from that region.

I don't know much about this dude. But what I do feel pretty confident in is that if he can make our O fun to play in and entertaining to watch, Mario will surround him w/ the talent to keep getting better.

 

[HurricanePhilly]

score points, move fast. Oh and lets get 1-2 WR from the portal. This offense should make our WR happy but our athletic TE's should be a nightmare as the start to put it all together.

Lets follow up in Mid October to see where things stand on early returns.

All but seals it.

Played QB for DH at Wingate (Dawson is an alum) then did a few years under him at WVU before rejoining DH at Houston

 

[TheOriginalCane]

All but seals it.

When Bruce says it, I believe it.

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

For those bringing up his time at Kentucky, can you name more than 3 offensive players from that team

 

[Cribby]

I sent this to D money this weekend lol.

 

[JHallCanes]

Was just about to say this. Definitely not a **** name but we’re gonna score allt and that’s all that matters.

Yeah man I have no idea how this all plays out but both of these hires just blew the doors off of a lot of things I was concerned about with Mario

[supacane]

Also where them apologies about Cristobal married to a bro style offense. Told it was cap and i had no inside information. Even Feldman repeated that. Why would he be interviewing air raid man? Some of yall really dont think without anger

 

[TheOriginalCane]

I guess my Intel was solid last Friday



Solid. Air raid so theres that

I was praying for the mystery name(s), but oh well...

 

[Odysseus]

Wow
