The praise continues to roll in for Southern Miss offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson.
Southern Miss quarterback Nick Mullens said he loves playing for Dawson and called him a great coach.
“He is awesome,” Mullens said after last night’s game. “I love Coach Dawson. He is a great coach.”
Check out his post game comments:
On your mindset of the start and the finish of the game …
“Honestly, I don’t know if a lot changed. I just had a pretty tough stretch. Those mistakes are easily preventable so it’s a matter of just focusing, relaxing out there and not turning the ball over. My mindset didn’t really change. Just relax, focus, and make the next play. We never stop believing. Coach Hopson preaches fight, fight, fight, attack, attack, attack, and so that is what I did.”
On how you played in the first half …
“Terrible. Sometimes you just have to relax in the moment. Those mistakes are preventable, so that’s a good thing to know moving forward. But, if we protect the ball then we will have a really good year.”
On how well you work with Coach Dawson …
“He is awesome. I love Coach Dawson. He is a great coach. We communicate a lot more with the way we get plays in and stuff, but I kind of knew going in, you just have to feel each other out and embrace the change. But, other than that I am so proud of him. He did a great job tonight. The coaches deserve a lot of credit, all the credit in the world. They put us in positions to succeed and so we are thankful for that.”
