A legit OC with the freedom to run their system seems like the only way out of this given everything being said all over the board. Problem is the dilemma that this has been tried before with him multiple times at Auburn and already once here at UCF. That’s the frustrating part. But, if it were to happen is there anyone out there realistic? Someone from an FCS ready to prove their concept?
Found this from when Dillingham was hired at Auburn…. Past is prologue…😑
Malzahn admits now that he made a mistake when he listened to the “advice” given to him early during the 2016 season that told him to relinquish offensive play-calling duties — his bread and butter — to then-offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee and, over the better part of the next two seasons, Chip Lindsey. The head coach believes that was proven when he guided Auburn to 586 yards and eight offensive touchdowns in a Music City Bowl rout of Purdue.
Before that game, when Malzahn made the decision that he was going to go back to his comfort zone after a trying 2018 season, the head coach set out to find an offensive coordinator that satisfied three major criteria — good at coaching quarterbacks, understands Auburn’s system and OK with not calling the plays. Once friend and former Ole Miss head coach decided to take the head job at Liberty and Bobby Bentley decided to stay at South Carolina, Dillingham became the choice.

‘The same goal’: On the crucial relationship between Auburn’s Malzahn, Dillingham and Burns
Head coach Gus Malzahn is calling the plays again, but OC Kenny Dillingham and passing game coordinator Kodi Burns will play important roles, too.
