With the workout days he outlined in his initial post, anything BUT a split style of workout will lead to overtraining.
With a goal of increasing strength and cardio endurance, cutting fat, and gaining muscle, a well rounded workout that does not focus on improving the strength of one particular movement (i.e. bench press) is what would be in his best interest.
The difference between what you outlined and a split style routine is not huge...but if you factor in his goals, definitely enough to make a difference.

Well, if he has a day to recover, I think that is more than enough time. Plus, it's not like I'm advocating that he take long breaks in b/w sets, if you keep things moving, you're still burning fat and whatnot. Except for bench days, I'm usually recovered enough that I can hit the gym the next day, then again I'm eating pretty well and taking in a lot of protien and amino acids.
