This past off-season, Christensen was promoted to offensive coordinator, replacing Tom Moore, who held the position from 1998-2009. Moore has remained on staff as an offensive assistant.
“I think more so than anything else people make assumptions and have preconceived notions about things, but he’s a very good football coach,” Caldwell said. “He’s a very capable guy. He’s an excellent leader. I think you’ll see he’ll do a great job. …
“Let me put it this way. He’s in his position because he’s capable. He has a very strong offensive mind. He knows our system extremely well. He’s been working in it for a number of years now and played a major role, oftentimes behind the scenes. You guys don’t have the opportunity to see it, but he’s played a major role in organizing and our red zone. He’s been very effective in that particular area, third-down packages as well.
“So Clyde obviously has some experience being a coordinator at a number of different levels, and I think you’ll see the transition will be very, very smooth from Tom (Moore) to Clyde. The other reason is because around here we believe in continuity. We believe in our system and we’re not going to change it a lot. We might tweak it, but we try and make certain that we have guys in place who can keep that culture going, and I think he’ll do a great job.”
