Auburn Search involves Patrick Nix and Rodney Garner

AL.com is reporting that Miami Hurricane offensive coordinator and former Auburn quarterback Patrick Nix will interview for the head coaching job at Auburn today or Tuesday. They also report that Georgia defensive recruiting coordinator (sorry, I was in a hurry) Rodney Garner interviewed for the gig on Sunday.

I would imagine that both are courtesy interviews / disaster scenario hedge bets. However, the Georgia Sports Blog would like to give Patrick Nix our full, formal endorsement for the head coaching position at Auburn University. Nix is an Auburn man with strong recruiting abilities, and he's an excellent counter.
