Greatest week in UM history lol. We kill duke and now this. Our coaching staff is amazing and now our decrying class is poised to be outstanding. This is the most amazing hire ever and the fact that we prayed him from the f***ing Seminoles is outright spectacular. Watch out America there's a hurricane on the horizon and its headed your way!

Here is a little more background on Coley (most recent FSU info is dated)

Florida State graduate James Coley moves into a new and expanded role entering his third season with the Seminoles and the sixth at the collegiate level. He steps into the offensive coordinator position, while retaining his duties as the tight ends coach in 2010.

Coley has previous experience as a college offensive coordinator, having held that post at Florida International in 2007. He also spent six seasons in the Miami high school ranks, including a three-year run as offensive coordinator at Norland, which won a state title. A two-year graduate assistant for offense at LSU, where he worked alongside coordinator Jimbo Fisher, was followed by two seasons on the offensive staff with the Miami Dolphins under Nick Saban.

As the recruiting coordinator the past two seasons, Coley has been instrumental in the Seminoles landing back-to-back Top 10 signing classes, which have helped re-stock FSU's talent pool. Coley's boundless energy on the recruiting trail earned him a huge fan following on his CoachColey twitter account.

Coley's work on the field has been instrumental in bringing the tight end position back to a place of prominence for the Seminoles. Tight ends Caz Piurowski and Beau Reliford combined for 24 receptions, 283 yards and four TDs in 2009; totals that were tempered by Piurowski's season-ending knee injury at mid-year. Still, the four TDs were the most for the `Noles from the tight end position since 1994.

Prior to arriving at FSU, Coley spent one season as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at FIU. The Miami native completely overhauled the Golden Panthers offense and established new standards for rushing yardage, as the unit doubled its production over the second half of the season.

In two seasons as an offensive assistant with Saban's Miami Dolphins, Coley had an opportunity to work with running backs Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown ('05) when they boasted the NFL's seventh-rated rushing attack. In '06 he worked with the receivers, including All-Pro Chris Chambers and was responsible for breaking down opposing defenses as self-scouting as the quality control coach.

Coley's first foray into the college game came as a graduate assistant at LSU on offensive coordinator Jimbo Fisher's staff in 2003 and 2004. The Tigers won the 2003 National Championship and SEC title and played in the 2004 Capital One Bowl.

Coley initially crossed paths with Fisher while coaching high school football in Miami from 1997-2002. His first job was as the quarterbacks coach at Miami Senior, where he spent three seasons and worked with current NFL standouts Andre Johnson and Roscoe Parrish.

He moved to Norland in 2000 as assistant head coach/offensive coordinator and coached several players who had outstanding collegiate careers, including Dwayne Bowe (LSU), Kareem Brown (Miami), Alexander Bostic III (FIU) and Antwan Barnes (FIU) during a three-year run which culminated with the school winning the 6A state title in 2002.

After graduating from Florida State in '97, Coley received his master's degree in kinesiology from LSU in 2004.

“Coley was basically responsible for 37 percent of FSU’s starting lineup this season,” said Charles Fishbein of Elite Scouting Services. “He recruited fullback Lonnie Pryor, who was the MVP of the Orange Bowl. He brought in receiver Rodney Smith, tight end Nick O’Leary, offensive guard Josue Matias, center Brian Stork, [defensive end] Bjoern Werner, [cornerback] Xavier Rhodes, [safety] Lamarcus Joyner and [kicker] Dustin Hopkins.

“Werner and Rhodes are projected to be first-round picks this year. The guy knows how to evaluate talent.”

How much experience did Chud have calling plays before he took the keys to the 2001 Maybach? How did our offense do that year?

As for the spread worries, did you guys forget all the shotgun 3 WR sets and horizontal passes we threw last year? That's a spread we ran most of the time last year. Remember how Hagans wasn't on the field for the majority of our offensive plays last season? Spread.

I don't think it's simply spreading them out that has some worried. It's going predominately from a shotgun spread where pounding the rock isn't a priority.
 
I'm still semi-concerned about our offense for a couple of reasons (continuity lost at OC, Coley isn't proven in Miami yet), but among the choices, this seems like a solid one. It's also telling that FSU was willing to part with as much or more cash to keep him and Stoops wanted him at UK. Didn't just grab some HS coach off monster.com here, we got an elite hire, at least in demand and recruiting talent.
 
You never know.

Gary Stevens had no experience as offensive coordinator when he was hired by UM in 1980. And Stevens became one of the best OCs in college football history.

Pounding the rock wasn't a priority for Fisch, and everyone has busted out the anointing oils for him turning him into Bill Walsh, Jr.

Miami has never "pounded the rock" as their predominant offensive strategy in the post-(Lou)Saban era. Ever.
