I'm not sure if this has been discussed, but anyone think Rhule at some point in the future hires Jeff Nixon to be our OC? He played with Rhule at Penn State, Temple RB and WR coach, was hired by Rhule at Baylor and Carolina. Tight ends coach at 49ers, running backs coach for the Dolphins, special teams assistant for the Eagles, running backs coach for the Giants, Currently OC at Syracuse where Kyle McCord is lighting it up. He was on 5 NFL staffs and has 27 years experience coaching college and NFL. His son Will Nixon was a 3 star WR recruit at Nebraska, was injured his first season, played in 3 games is second season before redshirting and transferring.

Syracuse stats before Nixon at OC and McCord versus the year before in 2023:

Total offense - 99th in the country in 2023 and 22nd in the country in 2024
Passing Offense - 116th in 2023 and 3rd in 2024
Scoring Offense - 92th in 2023 and 47th in 2024
3rd Down Conversions - 63rd in 2023 and 6th in 2024

Nixon appears to have built a very solid offense around a talented QB. He currently makes $700k a year at Syracuse. Any chance he's on staff at some point? Another guy I like is Tim Harris Jr a rising star in the OC world. He took over play-calling from Gus Malzahn mid-year for UCF and has been lights out.
