Shannon Dawson
Current job: Southern Miss offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach
Why it makes sense: It would be his second go-round as WVU’s coordinator, so he knows the lay of the land better than any other candidate.
Why it doesn’t make sense: Holgorsen called the plays in Dawson’s original stint at West Virginia from 2012-14. That probably wouldn’t fly for Dawson in the reboot. Also, Southern Miss’ offense is brutal this year. The S&P+ advanced metrics system puts the Golden Eagles at 119th in the country on offense – essentially squandering a defense that rated 17th.
