Nixon And Nunzio

An OC in the NFL working under a Head coach who is considered the best offensive coordinator in all of football right now Is a bad spot? There’s no guarantees but Ok

NFL head coaches have very short leashes. How many guys get fired after one year? You just do not see that in college, absent scandal. Also, it might make more sense for him to work with a defensive-minded head coach and be given free rein.

Edit: Link, 34 NFL coaches lasting one season:

One and Done NFL Head Coaches: Antonio Piece, Jerod Mayo Join List of First-Year NFL Coaches Fired Throughout History

Although not common, there have still been 34 one-and-done NFL head coaches fired after their first year of coaching throughout league history.

This is how agents get their clients some quick bumps. All part of the game. Have Syracuse quickly sweeten the pot, then if he is on a 2 year, reset his start date and solidify him being around for the all important year 3 of this program in 2026. If he gets hired away at the end of 26 it means we had another good year and the program will have good momentum to bring in a strong backfill at that point. Win/win for program and Nixon.

I can't see a scenario where Johnson doesn't call his own plays. Who is he going to get that is better at it than he is? He likely will get an OC, but that person likely will not be calling plays, just helping with the game plan and dealing with offensive personnel. Totally see Nixon getting offers, but his best spot for sure will be under a defensive HC where he will be given the reins on offense.

Jeff Nixon got his flowers for this year but I still think it wasn’t enough. We had average o line play at best and he game planed around that too make our offense the way it is. Such a big deal for him too be here year 2 and coach up the younger quarterbacks with coach Nunzio.

Nixon is probably looking at that Temple level for the time being. My concern is Fran becoming a commodity that teams throw stupid money at. These other guys don't worry me one iota. Schools are gonna come at Fran. I wouldn't be surprised if the NFL comes at some point too.

I could see him going to the NFL for a coordinator position. Wasn't he only running backs coach with the Giants?

I feel like the plan has got to be to have his kids around for at least a year.

After that, who knows.

That seems to make sense.
