This might have already been discussed here, so please forgive if so...
It certainly appears that we are making some moves to dial back our overall salary budget for the football coaching staff, and I think I have some additional insight into how Shannon Dawson as OC will be helpful to that. It appears that Dawson's UK contract will pay him $550K through the 2018 season, and will be reduced by any salary he gets from other employment. However, given that he's guaranteed $550K and we wouldn't pay nearly that much, I think it's likely that you could assume we will get him for a heck of a bargain and Kentucky will foot most of the bill for his services for the next 3 seasons. He can afford to take a very low salary here, considering his guaranteed money coming from UK.
