Already announced Haggins is staying and he’s bringing in a new OC from Auburn. Guess that means Briles is out at OC and Clement will probably go with him.

Watched the rematch game of Memphis v. Cincy just to get a feel for his offensive style. A couple of interesting things I noticed:
1) no penalties
2) shotgun formation always had a RB and WR in backfield with QB

 
I've done a little reading on him. He seems to get his coordinators poached quite frequently, but just goes out and reloads. If I'm not mistaken, the Auburn OC is a former assistant of his. He's got former assistants in coordinator positions at ND, UGA, AU, and another power 5 school.

They've had the number 3 special teams, one of the top offenses in the country, and their defense has steadily improved. While not the splash hire most wanted, the hope here is that you've corralled the hottest up and comer and he turns this around. 

That said, he's going to need more than 1.5 years to get the ship righted.
