I am far from an expert on coordinators. Dawson maybe great or he may be average. Since you all asked.
But here are my thoughts-
Mario- maybe it took a little longer because he was trying to find a wide open OC that would embrace and add some power running scheme into it- a little more advanced than just a power spread. Someone that could lead the team and create a new offense that Mario (and team) envisions as the future of college football. I believe Rad and Zo would help push a concept to Mario that he should be an innovator. With Mario's ability to recruit and his understanding of OL play this could be something special.
Dawson- had some ups and downs. It seems like he is smart and adaptable- which is most likely the main traits Mario was seeking. He will have the best talent here he has ever worked with. Some of the downs could be adapting his offense to his personnel that just didn't work because of the players. Some could be limitations of the players. Some of them could be because his system wasn't great. Hopefully, he learned from these experiences and now has a more diverse system than just a straight air raid. Hopefully, he learned the flow of the game and he can average 36 points a game here while still having ball control and eat the clock some when needed.
In my career I have improved my skill, management style and leadership at every position I held and every company I have owned. I have hired well over 1000 people in my life. I understand that hiring is about hiring the person and not the experience they have. I can explain failures I have had and how I would do it different and better the next time. Maybe Dawson did the same. perhaps he understands and has a vision for his offense that is special. If that is the case this is a grand slam. If not we will probably have a new OC next year or the one after with a new HC after that.
I am optimistic and Believe this is a great hire. Unfortunately, been wrong many times in my life- just hope this is not one of those times.
Let ******* Go!
