This is all strikingly familiar for Mike Dawson, and also all just slightly different, too.
The Nebraska outside linebackers coach, rehired to Scott Frost’s staff this winter, knows all of the ins and outs of life as a Husker assistant coach.
He knows the neighborhood he wants to move back into. He knows the school district and sports teams he wants his son to play on. He knows the rest of the assistant coaches, or at least mostly. He knows the personnel and the way Frost runs things.
And for all the familiarity, this is going to be new, too, for Dawson and his family.
