Nontoxic 37 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 19 minutes ago, Mikey said: The only one I've seen that claims Nix will be calling plays is Kiffin. Freeze has plainly stated that he'll call plays himself next season. As stated above, this seems to be about Lane claiming that Nix won't be calling plays. It was discussed that Nix has a contract clause that voids a buyout if he leaves for an OC job with play calling duties. I haven't seen this reported anywhere other than being discussed on message boards, but that seems to be where Lane is coming from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve read the explanation here, but I would imagine most people are unaware Nix has a buyout clause that he has to be OC and call plays. Hence why we've been getting Lane crying about Hugh calling plays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If such a clause even exists there are more ways around it than we can even imagine. Were it that binding, AU would have looked elsewhere to fill the position.

JFDTiger80 790 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Gotta be honest here. If we would have hired Lane, I would be on his side, including his antics. That said, even his own fans have to know he rubs a ton of people the wrong way. Since he isn't our coach, I find Lane a Major Dbag. Can’t stand him and put him in the same bucket as my dislike of UGA and Kirby. I love taking Nix from him and frankly I hope a QB from Ole Miss enters the portal and Nix gets him to transfer to the good guys! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The twitter stuff would be funny, but he's just kicking his own ass by mocking an assistant taking a new job and hurting any future hirings. There's a reason assistants leave in droves every year for lateral positions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh could “let him call plays for one game.” Then he could say it wasn’t working out and take back play calling duties. Hugh could dictate what plays Nix calls. So many ways around that clause that will easily hold up if Ole Miss decides to sue. And btw, it wouldn’t be Lane filing a lawsuit. It would be the athletic department.

He was our #1 OC target last year....with the same contract. If it was so easy to get around, we would have hired him a year ago. The buyout is now a year lower and we're comfortable with it or our risk tolerance has gone up after a year 1 floundering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
