[QUOTE="vamosjackets, post: 343175, member: 216"] My memory is fading a bit, but I am sure of this: that Nix was actually only given full control (at least 90% control with CCG giving input) in the '06 season. He was allowed to be called OC a couple years prior but was not given control because CCG felt he wasn't ready. He did feel that he was ready in '06, and that proved to be a very good decision for the most part. What I don't remember well is exactly what year he may have been given the OC title. I know he started out as RB coach with Bill O'brien as OC/QB's that first year, then moved to QB coach (Modkins went to RB's). I don't believe CPN was given the OC name that first year he was QB coach, I believe CCG explicitly named himself OC and made it a point that the offense would be his. I'm remembering now that CPN was only in charge of 2-minute situations in '05 (remember the 4th down throw-away). Or, was that '04? Which was the one where we had it at the end at home, ready to beat the top 10, SEC champ, Shockley-led Ugag - Reggie had led us down to the goalline to win at the end only to throw a pick in the endzone on 1st down? First year wasn't close (51-7), second year wasn't close either, but a little better. All of the following years were extremely close, one-score games. Either way, the offense was not put firmly in Nix's hands until '06 - a very good offensive year for most of the year until the end - this is what led Randy Shannon to want Nix down in Miami. There would be media records out there stating this, but I'm doubtful I could find them. [/QUOTE]
