Frost tasked with hiring third OC in four years; What are the challenges? And where might he look? | Football



Tim Cramsey, Marshall offensive coordinator

A slightly different form of connection, Cramsey is part of the Chip Kelly tree, having worked for him at New Hampshire.

Cramsey, 46, is in his fourth year as the play-caller and quarterbacks coach for the Thundering Herd, who are eighth nationally in total offense and No. 21 in scoring offense so far in 2021.

Like Heckendorf, he’s an experienced Group of Five coordinator. He shares a mentor with Frost (Kelly) and UNH connections with a couple others on Nebraska’s coaching staff.

Jeff Nixon, Carolina Panthers running backs coach

Nixon’s connection to Nebraska is a straightforward one: His son, Will, is a freshman receiver for the Huskers.

Nixon, 47, made the transition back to the NFL when Matt Rhule took the Carolina head coaching job ahead of the 2020 season.

Before that, he was the co-offensive coordinator/play-caller at Baylor and coached running backs for Ruhle as the Bears program ascended quickly.

Sonny Cumbie, Texas Tech offensive coordinator/interim head coach

On Saturday’s Fox broadcast of Nebraska’s loss to Ohio State, announcers Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt very conspicuously talked about a conversation they had with Frost in a production meeting in which Frost said NU needed to recruit better in Texas.
