Oline coach

If I was betting, I’d only wager on a new OC/OL. And I’d be perfectly fine with that outcome.

You don’t think we need a new DC???

Why do you say that RC? Do you think we can do better than Nixon?

That would be replacing the wrong coordinator

Personally I think he prefers the NFL where he spent 14 of 17 years before coming here to coach his son. Another option for him would be Penn State depending on who they hire. Or even Nebraska if Holgorsen gets a job.

I’m pragmatic. Nixon was going to leave anyways and I think we’re seeing the downside of his system if you don’t have a high end QB. He’s stubborn and sticks to his system. That works in the NFL but counting on a top end QB every year at Syracuse is hard.

Don’t disagree. But I’m talking myself into it given I think it’s what’s likely.

I will say Erob is at least listening to the consultants and more established DCs we’ve brought in. Hard to judge the defense last few weeks given injuries and the fact they’re on the field all the time. We need to fix the DL in offseason. Ultimately on him to recruit better players upfront.

I just think no system works without a decent qb. Pick any system where Collins could run efficiently. The mistake Nixon and Brown made is having Ricky as backup and their miss on evaluating him. I am pretty sure they have learned their lesson.

you're probably right. I'd be fine with Nixon returning given Steve though I do think we need a new OL coach based on performance. But I still suspect we have a new OC.
