Jeff Nixon interviews for Texans OC

[IthacaBarrel]

Good practice for the future, I hope.

one would think a 50 year old coach with 27 years experience doesn't need interview practice

Has he ever interviewed for an NFL OC position before?

he was one in Carolina on a interim level. I highly doubt Jeff was sitting in Syracuse thinking the interview with Houston would be good practice but to each his own. Neither of us will ever know

But he's got 2 kids in school this year, including his son on the team, who he could really highlight in the offense. He is good enough to warrant being our third down back.

I hope he comes back for 1 more year. Yes, it's selfish. Yes, we might take a step back this year. But I see reasons for him to stay. He's still going to get his opportunity, even if it takes until year 3. In Fran I trust, and these kids they have recruited will be more mature and indoctrinated into the system.

Not only is Will Nixon good enough to warrant being our 3rd down back, he may even get more carries than Willis as he got more carries than Willis early in 2024 before the injury.
