Reports: Cincinnati to hire Memphis running back coach Sean Dawkins

Today, multiple reports by Matt Zenitz of 247 Sports and Adam Rittenberg of ESPN that Memphis Tigers running backs coach Sean Dawkins will be the new running backs coach for Cincinnati.

Recently De’Rail Sims left for Tennessee, so Dawkins would be replacing him. The last two seasons he’s been at Memphis, before Memphis he was at Charlotte (2019-2021), Troy (2018), Austin Peay State (2017), Murray State (2015-2016, 2010-2013), Tennessee Chattanooga (2014), West Texas A&M (2009) and Huntington(2008).
