re: Woodward needs to figure out how to navigate having a program manager head coach

You are drawing a lot of downvotes, but what you are saying is true.
Orgeron is not competent to coach either an offense or a defense and must have top quality folks to do so.
BUT, he will not hire anyone who could ever be a threat to succeed him as HC. That's why his choices are all AARP members. Orgeron remembers that he got this job quietly undermining the existing HC with the AD and boosters (and got plenty of help from the boneheaded stubbornness of the HC). He is too insecure to allow a real young up and comer become a OC or DC. This was part of his issue with Aranda.
