Jeff Nixon just led Syracuse to the top passing attack in college football and might be the favorite to replace Bobby Slowik with the Houston Texans

Syracuse offensive coordinator Jeff Nixon could potentially return to the pros. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Nixon interviewed for the open offensive coordinator job with the Houston Texans. Nixon brings several years of NFL experience and was most recently a running backs coach with the New York Giants in 2023.

After Bobby Slowik went from HC candidate to coordinator free agency, the Texans are moving with their replacement search. They have completed their interview with quarterbacks coach Jerrod Johnson, and another meeting is also in the books.
