Boston College Football Special Teams Coach Mike Dawson Resigns
Boston College Athletics released some rather shocking news on Wednesday when they announced that Special Teams Coach Mike Dawson resigned to pursue opportunities outside of football. This is a bizarre move because in most cases most coaches leave to take other positions. You have to wonder what job he is pursuing. Contrary to reports, he is not joining the staff of BC Interruption.
Coach Spaz had nothing but positive things to say about his exiting coach:
"Mike Dawson has been a valuable member of our staff for the past three seasons," Coach Frank Spaziani said. "We wish him nothing but the best as he heads down a new career path. I'm certain he will be a success wherever his career path leads him."
It was a mixed year for BC special teams as we saw Ryan Quigley become an elite punter, but Nate Freese seemed to take a step back on field goal attempts this season (maybe he got tired of "Middle Schmiddle"). This now leaves BC with two coaching positions to fill -- the other being offensive coordinator. Could be three if Ryan Day leaves to join Urban Meyer's staff at Ohio State?

Change is good! More needed
Now if we can rid of Devine and Day too!
What is Day going to tell Urban: that he was a key coach on just about the worst offense in FBS over each of the past few seasons.
I think the only person spinning the Ryan-Day-might-leave story is the hapless Ryan Day.
My suggestion is that Day and Devine should join Dawson and find other careers more suitable to their abilities.

I don't think there is much we can do if Urban Meyer
decides he wants his receivers to have hands like The Thing
This is kinda like when a Supreme Court Judge retires or kicks it. If your political party of choice isn’t in office, you’re ultimately disappointed that the judge decided to hang them up when they did.

Why? So Coach Spaz Flip can hire another underachieving coach to the same position? How’d our last external coaching hire work out? How about the one before that?
Same rationale that keeping Spaz is a blessing in disguise, considering Gene would be able to hire the next HC.
Special teams is the least of our concerns.

Maybe we can now recruit a Special Teams coach and some Special Teams players …
