Defensive coordinator Tyrone Nix ranks among the most experienced assistants on Jeff Traylor’s staff. During his 16 years coordinating defenses in the SEC and Conference USA, one feature has defined Nix’s defenses: Being multiple.
Nix has run almost every front and alignment possible in order to get the most out of his players. When evaluating those available on his first roster at UTSA, the personnel seemed to match up best with a 3-4 defense.
