When there’s a crucial opening on a college football staff, like say South Carolina’s offensive coordinator position, it comes time to speculate about names.
Offensive coordinators are a little trickier to throw names out for, primarily because they can’t be credited with overall records or big turnaround jobs. Some of the best ones (Chad Morris, Joe Moorhead) come out of left field. It’s often hard to separate a good offensive head coach’s work from his coordinators.
The big question for USC will be, does Will Muschamp bring in someone who will run a hurry-up no-huddle attack, potentially exposing a still-thin defense in a big way?
