Jeff Nixon to interview with Cowboys for OC opening

[phildadon86]

I don't know how to feel about this.

 

[Rayman70]

huh? Never heard of him.

 

[Direwolf63]

Who?

Lol

 

[phildadon86]

huh? Never heard of him.

RB Coach for Carolina. Came in under Rhule.

 

[bayeslife]

Rooney rule

 

[_sturt_]

Seems to affirm the notion that the "OC" will be an OC in title mainly, but in terms of actual responsibilities, an understudy to the real OC... Michael John McCarthy.

Bet Ben McAdoo recommended him.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Championship!

 

[Direwolf63]

I don't know how to feel about this.

Yep. The Panthers were a true offensive juggernaut last year.

 

[Cowboys93]

Yep. The Panthers were a true offensive juggernaut last year.

Not advocating for the guy, but to be fair they lost their best offensive player on an already limited team and their running game was impressive

 

[TexasHillbilly]

Good deal. If he gets the job, it will give posters someone else to bash instead of KMoore.

 

[JeffInDC]

Matt Rhule's Co-OC @ Baylor from 2017-2019 and followed him to the NFL. While I don't know anything else about him, this DOES tell me that McCarthy is looking for someone that may have some new, innovative things in thier arsenal.

 

[John813]

He better do the Nixon peace sign when landing/leaving Dallas.

 

[phildadon86]

Yep. The Panthers were a true offensive juggernaut last year.

They had a very good/great run game.

 

[Floatyworm]

This team has ZERO idea where it's going.....

 

[Carson]

This is it boys. They shall rue the day!!!!!

 

[CowboyManDan]

Perhaps to be running game coordinator while McCarthy is passing game coordinator especially considering Skip Peete is not coming back for RB coach.

 

[Direwolf63]

They had a very good/great run game.

Whatever.

If hired, he will be the next Cowboyszone whipping boy after Sean Payton and Kellen Moore

 

[quickccc]

don't be surprised if cowboys pursue free agent RB D’Onta Foreman as backup to franchise tagged pollard ...

This was the main thing that I thought too. Matt Rhule was highly regarded (even here on this board) when he was first entering the pro coaching circuit. His offense was impressive and many here were excited at the thought of him coaching the Cowboys before we hired MM. I'm on board with his home boy if he brings some creativity along with him.

They have to follow the "Rooney Rule" on every hire or face the wrath of the NFL bosses.
