Shannon Dawson's Air Raid >>> Neal Brown's Air Raid

Why the F are we arguing about this? Dawson is going to be a bad ass offensive coordinator so whether he 'called' the plays or not he did what an OC is supposed to do. He created the gameplan, called in the plays(90% of the offensive mastermind agreed with), and coached the quarterbacks. He has called all the plays at other places, so it's not like he has no experience being the man.

He wanted more control and UK gives him that. If Stoops comes in and changes a couple plays this year, does that make Dawson any less of an offensive coordinator? NO. Because he's the head coach. Dawson was not the head coach at WV so he did what most OC's do when dealing with an offensive minded coach. Sheesh

Yup. My point was that I don't think his system will look identical to WVU. It was never to impugn his qualifications; I don't blame him for wanting full control of the offense to prove himself. I'm not sure why some people took that as some insult to Dawson.

Yes, Towles was bad for 3 quarters but made plays in the fourth quarter to get the team down the field. I really think Towles and Brown were never on the same page that day. Brown wanted this and Towles gave him that. That last drive's play calling was awful though and Brown didn't help his quarterback.

I agree that Towles didn't seem to like Brown towards the end of the season.

Apparently, Dawson called plays identical to the way Holgerson called plays 85-90% of the time. Seems Dawson was pretty hands-on in that offense. Not quite twins, but sharing 85-90% of DNA is pretty close.

Well that wouldn't be surprising given that they run the same system would it? It seems to me that in that system the plays would sort of be chosen based on the look of the defense. I'd say that Brown and Dawson would have called the same plays at least 75-80% of the time. They too share some similar DNA which is why Dawson was chosen.
