Thanks to Bo Nederlander for the link.  Sounds like exactly the type of OC Harbaugh would want:
 

Backed by his pro-style offense that features a balanced attack, Enos has turned the Arkansas offense into a threat through the air and on the ground. Over his two seasons as OC, Arkansas is one of two FBS programs with 3,000-yard passer and 1,300-yard rusher in both 2015 and 2016. Even more impressive, the Razorbacks are the only program to accomplish the feat with a different quarterback and different running back in each of those seasons.

In his first season on The Hill, Enos helped Arkansas lead the SEC in scoring in conference games, averaging 34.4 points per conference game. The Razorbacks scored 50+ points four times over the final six regular season games, breaking the previous program single-season record of three set in 1910, 1916 and 2007.

The Razorback offense was wildly successful primarily due to the incredible balance between the passing and rushing attacks. Arkansas was the only school in the SEC and one of eight nationally to have both a 3,000-yard passer and 1,000-yard rusher during the regular season.

I can’t see where the spots on defense are going come from unless someone is leaving or we are having less offensive coaches. I count Don Brown, Mike Zordich, Greg Mattison, Chris Partridge, Al Washington already possibly on defense and that doesn’t include Devin Bush Sr who I thought Don Brown wanted as a coach

Sure, they sometimes don't fire them and they let them look while they look for their replacement, but who has ever actually hired the replacement and still not announced it?  Of course you can announce it when you make the hire.  You want to establish a new OC right away.

Also, I said "indication" not announcement.  Why would we necessarily be hiring an OC not retained in a coaching staff and promote him to OC on a Harbaugh staff?  He hires lots of former coaches and coordinators.  There's no indication in the article that he's destined for a top level position

Go get Canada to pair with Enos. Hopefully Enos is not being hired as more than a position coach, but if he is, and if Jimmy still wants multiple OC's, Canada needs to be the other.

But I am OK if he is a position coach but I am not OK with him as a coordinator. His claim to fame is running my alma mater into the ground after successful years with Butch and Kelly.

Really believe that JH has other movs up his sleeve....the future is now!

Guh.

If he's being hired for the OC, this is most definitively NOT a Don Brown-level hire.

Is this what UMBIG11 meant by "keep an open mind"?

interesting that his 247 page shows he was recruiting NPF and JaMarr Chase while at Arkansas (they weren't interested). some posters (mgrowold?) have noted we don't have the same recruiting presence in Ohio that we used to. any inside info from highschool coaches about their stance on Enos and Washington?

Bring back the coach that will make a real difference. Tyrone turned around the RBs in no time. He is due for an OC or head coach role.

Bashing this hire is jumping the gun. Michigan suffered from a serious lack in identity this year and adding Enos while keeping Drevno goes a long way to fixing that.

I wouldn't be surprised if Drevno is leaving, but I'm with you that I am not assuming that.  Drevno is a good coach and he's an OL guy, I could totally see him staying too.  Harbaugh could just feel we need changing the position coaches.

I'm not assuming Pep is gone, though I'd be more surprised if he stayed than Drevno.  The NFL rumors seem a lot more prevalent

With the right personnel, our offensive staff is good enough to thrive. We had the best scoring offense in school history two years ago. Fisch was good but not as good as some of us make him out to be. Shea plus an improved O-line and we are set.

I actually like this hire. Remember watching Arkansas and Texas am game. Play calls and formations are more like fisch and not what ever we were running this year. Not sure how much QB play hurt multiple of formations they ran this year. No OC will do well if we can’t pass protect.

Name a single positive thing you can give him credit for since being here.

The Colts were happy to get rid of him. He was terrible with the Browns. O'Korn's best game was before he got starter reps. Then with 2 weeks with starting QB practice reps he looks like shit against msu. Peters worst game of the year wasn't until he had a whole month to prepare as the starter with Pep and company. Speight, who was ok last year, completely regressed after one off-season with Pep. You could easily argue everything he touched turned to shit.

Pep is the passing game cooridnator and our passing game was the worst its been in years.

Looking at their track records as OL coaches, Anderson seems like a significant downgrade from Drevno. From Arkansas:

Pre-Anderson: 2014 -  #28 rushing offense and 5.1 ypc - 14 sacks allowed

Pre-Anderson: 2015 - #33 rushing offense and 5.0 ypc - 14 sacks allowed

Anderson: 2016 - #72 rushing offense and 4.1 ypc - 27 sacks allowed

Anderson: 2017 - #70 rushing offense and 4.4 ypc - 35 sacks allowed

This is a hideous regression. I know recruiting probably plays a role, but they fell off a cliff when he took over the OL.
