I am pretty sure this has been the protocol with McElwain, Smart, Kiffin, etc and would not expect it to change.
Enos promoted to OC per Football Scoop

Saban is a really strong Xs and Os guy.
He's and outstanding evaluator of talent and recruiter.
He's the best manager of egos who ever lived.
I can't imagine balancing the egos of kids and egos of the best coaching staff in the country, and ending up with both players and coaches being cohesive units that actually work well together.
I firmly believe Nick Saban could school Dwight Eisenhower and George Marshall on managing highly talented, but incredibly self-absorbed, prima donnas.

This was a well deserved Promotion.
Now to find an additional on the field coach...
That`s indeed saying a great deal. Eisenhower and Marshall are probably recognized as history`s most accomplished at this. Stakes were a tad higher to boot, as in the fate of the world!
regardless, he offers infinitely more value on staff in Tuscaloosa than on staff in Knoxville.
This is strictly my opinion, but I have more confidence in Coach Enos than any other OC in the Saban era. While they all were good in their own way, I just get the feeling that CNS and CDE are truly on the same page. I really believe CDE knows exactly how CNS wants the offense to operate and, will require less oversight than the prior OCs.
That's kind of how I saw it as well. Who knows whether I am right or wrong? Guess we will find out next year!
Watchoo tawkin ‘bout?!?! This is football!
Seriously, I thought about that when I wrote the post. Understanding the consequences of being wrong were light years greater, I figured the daily challenges of managing Monty and Patton couldn’t have been a lot harder than Saban faced with Kiffin, Rolando McClain, and Ruben Foster.

As it has been said many times before CNS is playing chess while the rest of us are playing checkers. Like any successful CEO he has a succession plan complete with three depth options to replace departing coaches. Coach Enos gave Bama's defense fits at Arkansas with much less talent and IMO he was hired to ultimately become the OC. I expect to see explosive plays in the passing game but going forward the running game will be utilized more under Coach Enos and he loves to throw to the TE. Its fun scoring 50+ points a game but winning by a comfortable margin while utilizing a balanced game plan to allow the defense time to rest is vital to a dominating team.
With our running backs and irv Smith as tight end we will still score 50+.
