Stan Hixon

plus if you read his bio he was already an OC once before in Tampa and it goes on to further say he was instrumental in helping the QB King when he came out of college. He also has produced the most QB/WR tandems in NFL histoy. Sounds good for JC and Kelly/Thomas....right.


He helped the late-season development of rookie QB-Shaun King in 1999. King led Tampa Bay to four wins in its last five contests en route to the NFC Central title. King became the second rookie quarterback since the 1970 NFL Merger to win a playoff game, rallying the Buccaneers to a 14-13 Divisional Playoff win over Washington. Christensen wrapped up 1999 at the Pro Bowl as the NFC totaled a game-record 51 points.

In 2005, Christensen’s corps ranked among the league’s best. Harrison (82-1,146, 12 TDs) and Wayne (83-1,055, 5 TDs) produced 1,000+ reception yardage seasons and played key roles in the club’s 13-0 seasonal start. In 2004, Christensen’s unit had one of the best seasonal performances in NFL history. Harrison (86-1,113, 15 TDs), Wayne (77-1,210, 12 TDs) and WR-Brandon Stokley (68-1,077, 10 TDs) became the first NFL receiving trio to post 1,000+-yardage and 10+-touchdown seasons. The performances placed the club along with the 1980 San Diego Chargers, 1989 Washington Redskins and 1995 Atlanta Falcons as the only teams with a trio of 1,000+ receivers.

Ya know honestly looking at all the other teams he's our best choice. Then I would look at Seatle only cause the coach would know what Zorn is trying to do.

I thought maybe the WR coach for the Titans but he is already a OC Assist.

I don't know who we could bring in as offensive line coach if Bugel decides to retire or if the team decides he needs to go.

I'm glad there is the same line of thinking as myself...we've all noticed that wide receiver has been a weak link in the offense and an upgrade at that position might be the first priority. Thomas and Kelly have plenty of talent and Moss, IMO, is still a premier threat in this league...the team just needs someone to bring a lot more out of those three

Ummm, the offensive failure is entirely on Zorn. Lets not start with the scapegoating,

Be honest with yourself.....our WR's sucked during Gibbs second term as well. We bring in two new taller WR's and they can't get on the field. why? coaching. Hixon needs to go. but....just in case you have a point which I'm not totally dissagreeing with....Christensen brings alot to the table. He used to be and still is a WR's coach, He used to be an OC which might bode well with helping Zorn out with some decent plays in stretching the
field. It's a wonderful double wammy for us if we bring him in.

I am being honest with myself. If Hixon sucked so much why was he kept? It was a perfect time to clean house and they didn't which tells me that either he is a good coach or our management is incompetent.

wow you keep hitting the nail on the head but do you think management is going to blame itself? most likely not. Hixon was a WR coach in college prior to Gibbs pulling him into the NFL. They thought his abilities would carry over from the college level and it didn't. Zorn kept him cause he was told most of the coaching staff would remain in place for him. All he had to do was bring in a new offense and coach. I can only hope he sees what we have seen for the last 5 seasons. Simply put nothing out of our WR's. They run wrong routes, and they don't know the plays. Something the coach is responsible for. If you can't get rid of management then atleast get rid of half the problem.

Plus Christensen could help Zorn with developing decent pass plays.

I wish we still had Robiskie.

Hixon definitely needs to be looked at. A few of us have been saying this for awhile. When your receivers are not running their routes correctly of course you look at the position coach. Why would'nt you?
