Biggest concern is him not having installed an offense in nearly two decades, and the last one he installed isn’t the one he is installing now. How does he teach within this system having never done so before? Without having installed this offense and experienced going through a season with it, how well does he anticipate and adapt to the moves and counter moves from opposing DCs to stop it? While he is an experienced assistant, he doesn’t have any recent experience doing all of the things required of an OC, outside of calling plays on gameday, and he doesn’t have any experience coordinating the kind of offense we are allegedly moving toward.

Not a concern to me at all. Football is football and all of these coaches know football.

More concern about this. How is he going to do on game day?

I agree with most of your concerns plus his ability to teach/understand the new offense and terminology. What I'm not concerned about is his ability to gameplan/scheme for teams on a weekly basis, he showed he could do that by running Cameron's offense better than Cameron himself except for the Bama game.
In that game, I think he was scared of the d-line's speed, quickness and strength and resorted back to tight formations to not have those gaps in hopes of better blocking and it backfired on him.
