I know HCCM is going to be ultimately running the O, but man this guy is light on experience. I hope we see in him what HCCM must during next season.

It just like Malzahn and Lashlee.

At least those guys had coached in HS. This guy is jumping from GA straight to OC. If CM tries to run both the offense and team overall, I fear he may find his plate to be too full.

Morris will be calling the plays. Craddock was instrumental in breaking down film with Morris at Clemson and preparing the practice schedule. I would be a little concerned if he were in charge of play calling but he's really just in charge of implementing strategy.

That's fine, but an OC does more valued work than that. If CM likes his film prep and practice scheduling, there are other positions he could have been hired in which to fulfill those roles.

Who cares what OTHER OC's do. Morris obviously has a plan for HIS OC and it's obviously going to be different than most. If the offense produces does it really matter who has what title or how old they are?
