When Derrick Nix joined Auburn’s coaching staff under Hugh Freeze two years ago, expectations that the two would put offenses on the field as they did a decade before at Ole Miss were an exciting thought for Auburn fans.
Two years later, Nix is joining the enemy.
According to On3’s Pete Nakos, the former Auburn offensive coordinator and running backs coach is expected to join Alabama’s offensive staff.
It was a whirlwind of two seasons on the Plains for Nix, as questions of who was really calling the plays on offense, a familiar question for Auburn fans since the Gus Malzahn era, came into play as the Tigers struggled to put points on the board.
