I'd be happy with Briles or Dorsey, but think I'd prefer Dorsey.
He has so much experience with QBs AND offenses by now. With his work ethic and killer instinct, I would just expect him to out scheme and outwork anybody we come against..plus he's got so many resources he can lean on from his 13+ years in the NFL. He'd bring things to college nobody has seen/experienced. Being somebody Mario is comfortable with and can trust plus the leader of our greatest era in Canes history are just added bonuses.
There's no guarantee he'd be elite.. But he's excelled at everything he's done. He's always overachieved. I'm not sure why we'd expect anything less if he was our OC/QB coach.
I'll try to help out before you get the obvious "but what is his OFFENSIVE PHILOSOPHY?!?!?!" questions.
In some ways, it can be a positive when a coach arrives without a "my-way-or-the-highway" offensive philosophy, because it can allow the coach to build around the talent that is already on the roster.
I'm old enough to remember when Steve Walsh decided to enter the Supplemental Draft rather than spend his final year piloting Erickson's one-back spread offense. And, sure, we still won the 1989 championship under the dual efforts of Craig Erickson and Gino Torretta. But I would have liked to have seen Steve make another run for the Heisman and avenge that 1988 Notre Dame robbery.
Right now, we have TVD, Garcia, and Jacurri Brown is on the way. I do not think that those three guys have identical skillsets and are all equally ideal for running one particular system. ****, we saw that a productive hard-working D'Eriq King couldn't just be plugged into Lashlee's system seamlessly and be expected to do everything he did under a prior OC.
People have raised a very good point about Dorsey developing both Cam Newton AND Josh Allen, guys with different styles and skills. Maybe, JUST MAYBE, the posters who are screaming about Miami being "multiple" on defense might also consider, JUST CONSIDER, that we could try being a bit multiple on offense as well. I'm tired of the "knows-a-little-but-just-enough-to-quote-vocabulary-and-act-arrogant" porsters pontificating about how this offensive philosophy or that offensive philosophy is the best, or how the Oklahoma QB is a "better fit" than the incumbent Miami QB.
Just win. Let the running backs run, let the quarterbacks throw, let the receivers catch.
And then, after we score, when Mario turns to the OC to ask what play he just called, he can quote the legendary (and annoying) Steve Spurrier and say "Touchdown!"
