Shannon Dawson is candidate to Miami's next offensive coordinator

A former Kentucky offensive coordinator could be on the verge of landing a major job in college football as Mario Cristobal looks to find a new offensive coordinator at Miami.

The Hurricanes relieved play-caller Josh Gattis of his duties after just one season spent in Coral Gables as the Canes finished the year at 5-7 (3-5) with an offense that ranked No. 77 in adjusted efficiency. One year later, Cristobal is having a coaching search run late and a familiar name to the Big Blue Nation is on the radar.

Per David Lake of 247 Sports, Houston passing game coordinator/quarterbacks coach Shannon Dawson interviewed for the Miami offensive coordinator position this weekend.
