I hope we don't hire a HC who watched a player die during a workout. I guess we'll need a little extra baptism, grace, and forgiveness if that happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing it is contract buyout related just like it was last year. DC - Since Kiffin might be delayed a week Hugh might look at other options. This makes zero sense to me. If he's your guy, what is a one week? At worst it is 2. Just be patient Sometimes the buyout amount goes down soon after the new year, maybe thats the case with Nix.

So they have a relationship. Who knows. He's making 1.5mm at PSU, so we'd probably need to bump that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the AHC/WR Coach. why does it matter if he's named OC/RB coach here but not calling plays. Lane is an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Nix that important to Lane's staff? seems like an odd stipulation to add to someone's contract if they're not even calling plays or named OC at the current Job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if he only calls half the plays? How can a HC determine any of this before the coach walks on campus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to believe the intent is that Kiffin wants Nix moving up and not laterally after a decade and a half as an assistant in the same place.
