Shawn Watson, who has spent the last five years as offensive coordinator and quarterback coach at Nebraska, has joined the University of Louisville football program. He will work with the quarterbacks at U of L.
Watson directed an offense in 2010 that ranked ninth in the country in rushing offense at 247.6 yards per game, including four games where Nebraska ran for more than 300 yards in a game.

“I’m excited to join the staff at the University of Louisville, î said Watson. ìI knew Charlie Strong and the entire staff were quality coaches and great character guys. I feel Charlie is building something special at the University of Louisville and itís a very exciting time to be a part of that staff. Iím looking forward to getting started and getting to know the players.”

Watson is a great hire.
Bo Pellini refused to let Shawn do his thing at Nebraska so this is a great opportunity to hire one of the truly great minds.
