Seems like it would be an easy choice to get Kiesau back but was Fresno good last year on offense?

I don't know, but there can be variables (e.g., player & other staff talent levels) that limit success.

I think Eric Kiesau may be a legit candidate. Saban brought him in as an analyst to work with Lane at Bama on transitioning the offense to what we run now. He was OC at Washington under Sarkesian. Lane and Sark both apparently have a high regard for his coaching ability. He has pretty extensive OC experience and apparently is also a solid QB & WRs coach. Kiesau reportedly liked and focused on learning and adopting Saban's coaching & organizational approach. Seems like a good fit to me.
