Hixon came in 2004 which means he had all the 2003 WR's and could keep or suggest to let go.

2004:Coles, Thrash, Rod Gardner, Darnarian McCants, Taylor Jacobs, Cliff Russell, Dameane Douglas, and Scott Coleman.

2005:Jacobs, Thrash, McCants, Moss, Patton, Kevin Dyson, Steven Harris, Rich Parson.

2006:Moss, Thrash, Patton, Harris, ARE, Lloyd, Espy.

2007:Moss, ARE, Thrash, Lloyd, Ryan Hoag.

Then there is all the others:
Burl Toler
Horace Gant
Marques Hagans
Maurice Mann
Billy McMullen
Anthony Mix
Malcolm Kelly
Devin Thomas

I count 25 WR's Hixon has had a full season to train, coach, develope thats including everyone ie; Moss, ARE, Thrash and Coles, Patton and Lloyd. 25 WR's and we are down to 5, Moss, ARE, Thrash, Thomas, and Kelly. Hmmm. Shocking. I know some of those WR's sucked or were non drafted rookies but I would like to think he would have had some input as to his evaluation of said WR's and who they should look at bringing in for his developement. Out of 25 we have 5 WR's and 3 were developed elsewhere. Plus many are already calling last years 2 busts.

When you keep running the same expierment ie; bringing in new WR's, and you get the same results all the time, then it's time to look at yourself and what your doing wrong. He's a college coach. not an NFL quality coach. Change is needed.

Only a few of them have been anything noteworthy elsewhere but yeah, the first few years are vital for someone to get the right training for the NFL.
