Alabama football announced the hiring of its new wide receiver coach Derrick Nix on Wednesday.
Nix joins the Tide as previously serving as the Auburn Tigers’ offensive coordinator. Kalen DeBoer feels Nix adds coaching and recruiting experience to the Tide’s staff.
“Derrick Nix adds extensive SEC experience to our group – both in coaching and on the recruiting side,” said DeBoer. “He’s very familiar with our current coaches, and he’s also an Alabama native who understands the state, its fans and the passion surrounding Alabama football. I’m excited to add Derrick to our staff, and I know he can’t wait to get to work.
