UPDATE: Miami will reap advantages from having him.

Miami’s overall offense increased from 97th in 2022 to 31st in 2023.

Nonetheless, some Hurricanes supporters have worries about offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson following Tyler Van Dyke’s inconsistent quarterback play this season. Dawson is also Miami’s quarterback coach.

Others will question whether Dawson optimized his play-calling.

Typically, upgrading your talent at quarterback can make your OC look like a genius. Replacing Van Dyke with Cam Ward, who offers so many more options with his mobility, can really give Dawson an opportunity to flex his creativity.
