With our tuition rates we could put real gold paint on those helmets. It would make President Hatch feel right at home.

Wake Forest: A source tells CoachingSearch.com that Wake Forest head coach Dave Clawson has offered a position to The Citadel head coach Kevin Higgins. Clawson once coached under Higgins at Lehigh. Higgins is expected to accept a position on the offensive side of the ball that includes the title of assistant head coach.

Yep, some of his bio:
Patriot League Champs : 1995, 1998, 1999, 2000
Looks like he has a lot of experience working with receivers.
Prior to his appointment at The Citadel, Higgins spent the 2001-04 seasons with the Lions, serving as the quarterbacks coach for his first three years before switching to the wide receivers in his final campaign in Detroit. During that 2004 season he was responsible for the development of one of the most exciting trios of wideouts in the NFL – Az-Zahir Hakim, Charles Rogers and Roy Williams – with Williams setting team rookie records for receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns in a season.Before joining the NFL ranks, Higgins was one of the hottest coaches in FCS football at Lehigh, leading the Mountain Hawks to three straight Patriot League championships and NCAA playoff appearances from 1998 to 2000. Lehigh lost only one regular season game in his final three seasons and posted an overall record of 34-4 during that span.

Pretty good resume. Not sure how involved he was with The Citadel's offense, but they hung 70 on VMI a few years ago.

Sounds like we are bringing in coaches who win. Just look at the coaching awards and league championships between Clawsen and Higgins as head coaches. I know they have to prove themselves at the BCS level, but I'm glad we are going out and bringing in leaders who care about winning. Geez the Grobe coaching tree has just been so blah. This is exciting.
ETA: Looks like he was pretty average at Citadel. I don't know much about them or the SoCon...

He beat GA Southern and one of the good App State teams a few years back. At one point had the Citadel #4 in the FCS rankings.
Army. Welcome coach Higgins

Any solid indication as to which coaches Clawson is retaining?

I'm going to guess Himey, Belin, and Jackson. Only a guess based on rumors/smoke though.
