I'm starting to think Nussmeier is the choice and they're bringing in a new TE coach as his replacement ( Campbell?)
But checkout this nugget when Golden was Hurricanes head coach. He's currently on the Lions staff as LBer coach(2018) but was hired as TE coach (2016).

Golden making changes to UM football program; Lots of Dolphins FA notes; Heat, UM hopes chatter
WEDNESDAY BUZZ COLUMN
Ex-UM coach Howard Schnellenberger, a fan of Al Golden, said in January that Golden simply had to make some changes after a 6-7 season. And quietly, Golden has made several, including incorporating some of what the Dallas Cowboys do offensively.
Meanwhile, UM’s defense, which patterns itself after the Seattle Seahawks’ defense in some ways, is making some strategic adjustments involving defensive linemen, defensive end Ufomba Kamalu said.
Offensively, “we are trying to model our game after the Cowboys,” tight end Standish Dobard said. “We watch a lot of their tape.”
As quarterback Brad Kaaya said, “a lot of the Cowboys’ passing concepts, we’re incorporating.” UM particularly likes what Dallas does with its third down and tight end packages.
Golden and offensive coordinator James Coley wanted to add to the offense “to become more multiple in what we do,” Coley said. “It will help with the predictability also. If you can really attack teams from a lot of different sets, it helps.”
Golden and Coley visited the Cowboys in January – both are friends with Dallas coach Jason Garrett – and Golden said more visits are planned. He mentioned Seattle as a possibility.
“From an offensive standpoint, we’re structured a lot like Dallas,” Golden said. “More globally, we are going to take a couple more visits in terms of a franchise or organization culturally. We’ve implemented some of those things. Our other coaches are going to visit other people. Even if we bring back one or two things that make us better, it’s worth it.”
Defensively, the changes have been more subtle. Kamalu said Mark D’Onofrio has made some tweaks to create “more of an aggressive defense” and that the defensive ends are being “asked to get in the backfield sooner” and “just have to worry about your gap now” instead of the two-gap approach that UM has played a lot in the past. The two-gap requires defensive linemen to line up head up against an offensive lineman and assume responsibility for the gaps on either side
