How has he done with developing talent?  Do his draft picks tend to work out well, or do they have to stock via FA?

Sounds like to me he's a run first kinda guy and he knows when to be tough on his players.

Referring to Arians and Goodwin:

"Where the two coaches differ slightly are their offensive approaches. Goodwin has developed a personality as a run-first play-caller. Arians is famous for his passing game. But Goodwin has taken his foundation, which is rooted in the ground game as a former offensive lineman at Michigan, and offset it with Arians' philosophy of using the run game to set up the deep ball."

"Goodwin has also learned to be hard on players on the field while not sugar-coating his critique."

Here's another report about how well coached Arizona is and it includes references about Goodwin's job of teaching.

I think it'd be a good hire, he's been interviewed for HC positions already so coming here and transforming our OL would push him right into that HC job.
