As UK head coach Mark Stoops prepares to face his former offensive coordinator, Shannon Dawson, this week he insists there is no animosity between them.
“He’s a good guy and a good person,” Stoops said. “We have not talked since he left, but I’m sure someday we’ll run into each other on the road recruiting or at a coaches’ convention or something and sit down and have a beer and talk.”
Stoops fired Dawson in December after one season as UK’s offensive coordinator. UK ranked 95th nationally in scoring offense (24.7 points per game) and 89th in total yards per game (372) in Dawson’s one season in Lexington.
Since Stoops hired former Cincinnati offensive coordinator Eddie Gran to replace Dawson he has repeatedly stressed the importance of bringing in someone he had previously worked with and had Southeastern Conference experience.
Still, he said he remains convinced Dawson is a good coach.
