I'd say he tailors it to the opponent as much as to his personnel. It's more of a NFL type approach where he tries to find a mismatch against the opponent's defense and exploits it rather than running a particular style.

We've had about 5-6 completely different offensive attacks in various games this year that have seemed based on exploiting the weakness of the opponent's defense.

We ran it down Auburn's throat.
We avoided the middle of the field and went with a wide passing game vs Oregon (to RB's and WR's)
SC and FL were all about exploiting the middle of the field (TE's especially)
UT was a deep passing attack the first half and clock killing running in the second.
UK was using up clock, short passes and lots of running.
LSU was middle of the field passing in the first half and running out the clock in the second.
OSU was a deep passing attack.
TCU we did whatever we wanted.

We don't really run a "style" of offense anymore. We have enough talent at every position that our style is to exploit the weakness of the defense.
