Mike Dawson left college coaching in 2011, but couldn’t pass up chances to work under Chip Kelly in the NFL and Scott Frost at UCF and NU.
ELSIE STORMBERG/THE WORLD-HERALDLINCOLN — Luckily for Mike Dawson, he was home when Chip Kelly called that late Friday night.
It had been 13 months since Dawson stepped away from coaching for a quieter life. First time in 15 years he wasn’t constantly on planes recruiting or up late editing film. In December 2011, Dawson resigned as special teams coordinator at Boston College. After nine jobs at six schools over 13 years, Dawson thought maybe a slow life could be a nice change.
