Texans Interview Nixon; Bears Eye Frye for OC

Jeff Nixon, the offensive coordinator for Syracuse, has been interviewed by the Houston Texans for their vacant offensive coordinator role following the firing of Bobby Slowik. Nixon, who led Syracuse to the top passing offense in college football last season, has a diverse coaching background, including stints with the New York Giants and Carolina Panthers in the NFL. The Texans are also considering internal candidates, such as their quarterbacks coach Jerrod Johnson, who has been groomed for the position. Meanwhile, the Ohio State Buckeyes' offensive line coach Justin Frye is being considered for a similar position with the Chicago Bears, having played a crucial role in Ohio State's recent national championship win and bringing a rich coaching history with previous roles at Temple, Boston College, and UCLA.
