Football: Watson could be in the Miami mix
By Pete Conrad
Another intriguing possibility has popped up for Miami’s vacant head football coaching job, this one from the Cornhusker state.
Shawn Watson, who spent seven of his 26 years as a college coach as an assistant at Miami (1987-93), is someone who might be ready for a return to head coaching.
Brian Christopherson of the Lincoln (Neb.) Journal Star reports that Watson said “it would take something very, very special for me to be interested” in leaving his current position as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the Nebraska Cornhuskers, who are preparing for their Konica Minolta Gator Bowl game against Clemson.
Watson, 49, is in his third season at Nebraska. He was head coach at Southern Illinois for three seasons (1994-96) and also has been an assistant at Illinois, Northwestern and Colorado.
At Miami, under head coaches Tim Rose and Randy Walker, Watson coached tight ends, wide receivers and quarterbacks and for a couple years was the recruiting coordinator.
