16 years as a RB/WR coach. I really like Nix, but this is a little bit of a wild take. The man has been through 4 HC’s and never given a promotion to OC after all that time. Ole Miss has had a Co-OC spot open for over a month with the former TE coach/Co-OC going to ECU as their OC to call plays and manage the entire offensive operation. Why was Nix not given that Co-OC title after he left? He’s a good recruiter and good on field coach for the position he coaches. The guy you fired was a former Broyles finalist and HC known for his offenses and you think a career position coach will be better?

I understand he won’t be the play caller but to have him run the offensive operation throughout the week and game plan is not ideal. He’ll end up being thrown under the bus for bad offensive performances whether he calls a single play or not.
