I wouldn't get caught up in titles. There will still be an OC hire and he will be the play caller. Consider it similar to when Richt made Thomas Jones the OC but we used RIcht's playbook and Richt was calling all the plays.

A RB coach can recruit WR too. The reason the RB coach spot is usually reserved for guys who are recruiters first and foremost is because most college running backs don't need a ton of coaching.
