Jeff Nixon to interview with Cowboys for OC opening

[noshame]

Waiting on OL coach

 

[CWR]

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

They had a nice run game, with back up level talent. They traded away CMC and went into tank mode. Unfortunately no one got the memo and they pushed for a playoff spot until the end. No qb, no rb, and no abundance of talent, yet they fielded a hard fighting team. I wouldn't write off those coaches. Anyone can "coach up" Mahomes.

 

[Runwildboys]

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

"I am not a coach!"

 

[ScipioCowboy]

He’s another guy with a Coryell background. It’s an odd approach if Mike wants to call the plays.

 

[big dog cowboy]

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

Based on???

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Given Nixon’s success with the running game in a talent deficient Carolina offense, I like him over Schotty, McAdoo, or any other name mentioned.

 

[The Fonz]

Dak Friendly

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Not gonna even pretend to know who he is.

I learned after googling his name that he was an assistant in Philly for a few years under Andy Reid.

Not really what I mean. More about how he coaches, his preferences. Things like that

Oh that, not sure. If he is hired, I'd imagine that we'd find out soon.

 

[Gaede]

Not exactly an inspiring choice.

 

[pancakeman]

Sometimes those are the best ones. They are hungry and don't live off the past. If an experienced OC is available, he probably wasn't that good.

Exactly. I mean isn't a successful offensive positions coach where you'd expect candidates for an OC job? I would never expect all of these candidates (or even the best of them) to be household names.

 

[garyv]

I don't know how to feel about this.

The only Nixon I know got impeached

 

[XXLMike]

He seems like a well respected dude .

The only Nixon I know got impeached

Norm Nixon was a freak athlete and Otis Nixon was a straight baller on the base paths .

 

[stiletto]

I prefer an up and coming "hungry" coach as opposed to a retread or pet-cat of Jerrry.

 

[LittleD]

....then why bother if that's the only reason for an interview? Can we get to fair interviews, at some point?

No it's called mandatory diversity by decree from the league. Do it or lose draft picks.

I'm not against the Rooney Rule.....I'm against smokescreen interviews.....seen it all to well, all too often in the league.....on a consistent basis. Let's not call a donkey a racehorse.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

OC opening?

I want this guy as the RB's coach to be honest.

Also didn't know the Rooney rule applied to assistants, thought it was a Head Coach rule.

 

[Cowboys0988]

Him being an unknown, He will be an easy fall guy for Dak... Thats what matters at this point. Gotta have somebody to blame for poor QB play.

Head coach and both coordinators.
