Football Hires 36-Year Coaching Veteran Hixon

PHILADELPHIA – Temple Football head coach Geoff Collins announced today that Stan Hixon, a 36-year coaching veteran has joined the staff as wide receivers coach.

Hixon last coached in 2015 for the Houston Texans, and spent last season as a consultant for three NFL clubs.

This marks a reunion with Collins. Hixon was the Georgia Tech wide receivers coach in 1999 while Collins was a graduate assistant. Hixon has spent many years under Bill O'Brien and Chan Gailey, two of Collins' mentors.

"We are excited to add Coach Hixon to our Temple University Football staff," said Collins.
