The Arkansas Razorbacks have found their new offensive coordinator after former OC Jim Chaney left for the same position at Pittsburgh.
Their new offensive coordinator is Dan Enos, who spent the last five seasons with Central Michigan as the Chippewas head coach. In 2014, Enos lead the Chipewas to a 7-7 record in the MAC as the Chippewas posted the 53rd ranked passing offense and the 76th rushing offense. Over his five total seasons, Central Michigan made two bowl appearances including one this past season when they fell 49-48 to Western Kentucky. The Chippewas posted a 26-36 total record over his five seasons but a 20-18 record over his last three seasons.
Arkansas will be the 46-year-old Enos' 10th coaching stop making his way from being a graduate assistant at Michigan State from 1991 to 1993 till coaching the Chippewas for the past five seasons. He has had coaching stops at Lakeland, Northern Michigan, Southern Illinois, Missouri State, Western Michigan, North Dakota State, Cincinnati. He has spent time as an offensive coordinator at four of those stops; Lakeland, Northern Michigan, Missouri State, and North Dakota State.
Arkansas head coach Bret Bielema commented on the hiring saying "Dan is a great fit for our program, he runs a pro-style offense and brings expertise at the quarterback position as both a player and coach. We played against each other in college, and he was a very intelligent and talented quarterback who showed great toughness and leadership. He has an outstanding reputation and will be a tremendous asset for Razorback football."
Central Michigan AD Dave Heeke released a statement saying that the school will be naming a new head coach quickly.
Enos will look to help to improve upon the Razorbacks 45th ranked offense that averaged 188 passing yards per game and the 26th ranked rush offense averaging 218 yards per game.
