Former UMass player and assistant coach Matt Dawson has returned to UMass as assistant defensive line and outside linebackers coach. I-AA.org has the story here .
The UMass press release does a good job of reviewing Dawson's career, so I won't recap most of the information.
His playing career at UMass as a 6-0 210 LB overlapped the period of time when Don Brown was Defensive Coordinator under Whipple. Several other current assistant coachs including Brian Picucci , Sidney Powell and Keith Dudzinski were on the staff at that time.
Dawson is the younger brother of former UMass Defensive End Mike Dawson (1994-1997).
Welcome home Matt.
