CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — Patrick Nix was fired Monday after two seasons as Miami’s offensive coordinator, the first significant shakeup to the Hurricanes this offseason.
Nix packed up his office Monday evening after a brief meeting with Miami coach Randy Shannon.
“It’s time to part ways, but I really enjoyed my time here,” Nix told The Associated Press as he and his family prepared to leave the football complex for the final time. “I loved these players to death. I loved these coaches to death. But in the long run, it’s probably better that we make this change.”
Miami was 7-6 this season and sputtered at times offensively, yet showed improvement in some areas during the second half of the year. Ultimately, it wasn’t enough to keep Nix in place.
