And I hope we beat the brains out of Ole Miss in Oxford next year. It’s time to be relentless and petty right back. Jay Tate doesn't seem to think it will have to be that complicated. Such a case is hard to prove and it's most likely just a bunch of petty bull**** from Lane. He'll tweet a bit about it and be snarky and then it'll disappear. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk...it is what it is. Hugh now has his #1 guy from last year. Let's see a competent offense 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitanTiger 21,571 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 51 minutes ago, W.E.D said: That would be a violation of Nix’s buyout with Ole Miss. Please keep up I think there are a number of rather minor ways to work around that. And Auburn's action indicate, to me, a couple of things... 1. They don't think OM has a high chance of success if they decide to pursue something on this contract clause. 2. In the event #1 turns out not to be true, they don't give a s***. They'll either pay the buyout or they'll negotiate a settlement for something less. Either way the end result doesn't change. Nix is leaving OM and will be on staff at Auburn and Hugh will call plays. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were it that binding, AU would have looked elsewhere to fill the position. Just create a new title for him and be done. “ Associate Director of Offense Operations” 😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubiefifty 18,472 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) does anyone care to say why Nix is so highly regarded? i admit to knowing very little of him but being at ol miss for sixteen years does nothing for me. why has he not been swooped up by the big boys? i am not trying to down Nx i just do notget it.

Certainly glad to have Nix on the staff. I can’t imagine the talent that will be brought to the plains. I appreciate a good troll but lately Lane has been an overkill. I’m more of a Spurrier guy but Kiffin makes me chuckle especially knowing he will never beat elite, championship level teams like Georgia or Saban Bama. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUDaddio 79 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Funny how he mentions Ole Miss has best receiver room in the country. Considering our WR recruiting class, I hope this is used as motivation for the Freeze Four (or Five). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gctiger 1,007 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I've got to wonder to what extent, if any, the "Play Caller" clause can be enforced. I would think that a new OC with play calling duties wouldn't just be turned loose to dial up all the plays from day 1. I would think there may be a mentorship involved to bring Nix up to speed on HF's system, and the head coach always reserves the right to make the final call on any play. Also, I don't see how anyone could possibly know, or prove to what extent Nix would be calling the plays. Do they expect to walk into the stadium/press box on game days and closely monitor what Nix says and does? Even if the clause is enforceable, it's only forceable to the extent that Ole Miss is willing to ante up the money to pursue legal action to collect the $650k buyout. The whole thing sounds kind of ridiculous to me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole thing sounds kind of ridiculous to me! You can't compel someone's future employer to do something via a non-compete. About all you can do is protect a legitimate business interest, such as a trade secret or customer relationship. All this is just Lane being Lane. He's found a sore so he's picking at it in the media. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e808 3,288 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) The thing about it if u take CHF at his word he will be calling the plays so not sure how much impact Nix will have on the offense outside of coaching the running backs Edited January 17 by e808 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freeze might want to incorporate some of that. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
