My take, from what I've seen about where they've been, video...ie their influences, numbers etc.
1. Greg Anderson, OC, So. Miss: looked at some highlights of them this year. Looked at his coaching stops. From the look of what they do, they run zone, and some inverted veer/power (just what we do with Frazier). The passing game appears to be mostly straight dropback, and would very much resemble Air Raid, but I haven't seen a lot of them, so could be different.
2. Al Borges, OC, Mich: We all know Al, he's currently running his offense from mostly spread, but in the end he's Zone and Power, with Play Action Pass off it.
3. Greg Davis, Former OC, Tex.: Don't like a guy this old, and that was at Texas, and clearly passed over for HC in waiting in favor of bringing Coach Boom in. Don't know what, but that says a lot to me.
4. Jason Phillips, OC, Houston: Pure Air Raid, at least at Houston. His recent past is pretty Air Raid influenced, but he has stops in the NFL as well. No telling what he'd do when turned loose to do his thing.
5. Todd Monken, OC, Ok. State: Ok. State's offense appears to be largely unchanged from Holgerson. IE Air Raid. However, he has no Air Raid roots prior to this stop that I can tell. Very diverse in his coaching history, including NFL. Not sure we'd be getting pure Air Raid if he was given the keys to the offense. Not sure he's been able to change much from what Holgerson left, and it speaks well of him IF he was forced to run something else other than his own, and was this successful. Or it may be he was OC in name only. In the end, who fucking knows.
6. Phillip Montgomery, OC, Baylor: Before Baylor was at Houston with Holgerson from 2002-2007. The offense at Baylor is very Air Raid-ish (no surprise there...Art Briles first college job was under Leach at TT), though they throw the ball down the field a lot more than most Air Raid teams do. RG3 averaged over 10 yards per attempt. Of course, that could all be a product of having RG3 in the first place.
7. Dowell Loggains, QB coach/Passing Game Coord. Tenn. Titans.: Wild Card of the bunch. NFL guy. Passing Coordinator for a reason I'm sure. Considered intelligent, but is young, and has never been an OC.
