Hope it is OK to post links to another fan site. This one is to a story from Roll Bama Roll on the potential of the Kiffin and Coker pairing. The writer put some thought into it.
"He will now have two years to develop the uber-talented Coker while making use of the Tide's plentiful personnel on offense. Kiffin runs a modified version of the West Coast offense requiring accuracy in the short-to-intermediate game, mobility and the ability to adjust protections according to defensive looks.
What his system doesn't require is superb arm strength. Both Leinart and Barkley were extremely accurate with anticipatory throws but lacked the arm strength to effectively execute opposite hash tosses purely on arm talent.
Coker doesn't have the problem; he will open up Kiffin's playbook by being able to work what is commonly referred to as "NFL throws."
