Tony Elliot?

He calls the plays, from the little I've read. He was in charge of play calling against Alabama for the NCG.
Played at Clemson so if hired, here's hoping Clemson doesn't come vacant soon.
Lucky for them and us, clemson and dabo look pretty stable
Bama fans assume they'll get Dabo when Saban is done, and I don't see Saban leaving Bama any time soon.
Of course if there's a sex scandal or a 5-7 season, coaching changes could accelerate at either of those programs
He played at Clemson and is now one step down from top guy at Clemson. So he's "been there, done that" as a player and coach. Can't see them pulling the heart strings to "call him home"
I don't know about that. You realize he played at Alabama and was born there correct?
I like Elliot great story the guy is focused on the players. He seems like he could be a good outside the box pickup. He took over as OC at Clemson when Chad Morris left 
UCF fans have to wrap the fact that the HC is not necessarily going to call plays around their heads.
No but they guy has to have experience and believe in the type of system we are set up to run.
Been rumored both Dabo and Jimbo want the Bama job.
Not really. Name is mentioned and he hasn't been hired. Wait till they announce and see if his name was mentioned.
a Florida HS guy praised him in the comments, seems well liked in recruiting circles in Florida

That wasn't the point. We asked and continue to ask about every candidate "how much was he calling plays?" The next guy may have never called plays and won't again. DW flat said it doesn't have to be an offensive coach.
Danny White pretty much said in his presser he wants to keep the offensive mind model
And it's a fair question to ask to assess a guy's qualifications considering the player make up we have. Would also be a valid question for a defensive guy if we were looking in that direction.
Irrelevant to football, but him graduating from Clemson with an industrial engineering degree (according to Wikipedia) is quite impressive.
The rest of the engineering disciplines typically look down upon industrial engineering, just sayin
Lol jk... kind of
Yeah but that's just pedantic nerdy engineering line of thinking. Walk on football player, graduates with somewhat impressive degree (Tebow got a degree in what, family studies?) with a respectable GPA. That's a smart guy on paper. I'm just saying that certainly adds to his resume as a coach and I know DW and our admin really holds that in high esteem. It's why it would be unlikely for a clown like Kiffin to show up here no matter how good he is (for better or worse that is on our *football* program)
When asked if he was leaning offensively, he said best available. Didn't want to paint himself in a corner looking for one attribute.
