Miami quarterback Jacurri Brown is set to return to the Hurricanes team for the 2024 season. Brown spent this past season redshirting behind Tyler Van Dyke and Emory Williams but was thrust into a starting role for the Pinstripe Bowl due to Van Dyke’s transfer and Williams’ injury.
Brown has three games of starting experience under his belt over two seasons in Coral Gables. As a starter, Brown has one win (Georgia Tech) and two losses (Rutgers, Clemson).
Miami offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson came to the ‘Canes from the Houston Cougars. At Houston, Dawson was the tight ends coach in 2019, before being promoted to passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2020.
Dawson was promoted again for the 2021 season this time to the role of offensive coordinator. Dawson held that role for two seasons before taking the same position with the Hurricanes for the 2023 season.
Dawson and now Arizona Cardinals QB Clayton Tune saw a drastic improvement in Tune’s stats after moving from PGC to OC. Tune improved his yards per attempt by over one yard and his completion percentage by almost 10%. Tune’s TD:INT ratio improved from 15:10 to 40:10 by 2022.
