Just saw this... I know that the Texans haven't been anything to write home about offensively this season, but I've heard nothing but good things about this guy. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=2706195 Air Force will name Houston Texans offensive coordinator Troy Calhoun as its next head coach, succeeding Fisher DeBerry, a source close to Calhoun told ESPN's Joe Schad on Friday. Calhoun was Air Force's quarterback under DeBerry in 1986 and was an assistant for the retired coach. Calhoun has spent the last four years as an NFL assistant after stints at Air Force, Ohio University and Wake Forest. DeBerry, 68, retired Dec. 15 after 23 years as the head coach at Air Force, finishing with three straight losing seasons. His 169-109-1 record made him the winningest coach in Air Force history, and he had the third-longest tenure at one school of any active college coach, after Joe Paterno (41 years at Penn State) and Bobby Bowden (31 years at Florida State). DeBerry, who had more than $2.5 million remaining on the final three years of his contract, will receive an $850,000 settlement spread out over five years along with a monthly annuity of $8,500 for life, which comes from the Air Force Academy Athletic Association and not taxpayer funds.
I read very good things about Calhoun from Kubiak and Shannhan so good for him. Even though he was the OC, Kubiak still calls the plays. My guess is they promote Mike Sherman to OC.
Then he will be gone too after next season. Still a joke he got blamed for Green Bays bad season last year.
Don't think they'd get rid of Sherman. The offensive line was actually off to a pretty decent start before Spencer got hurt. Either way, the guy's got mostly crap to work with.
I think he meant that Sherman will be moving up to another HC or OC job-- because he agrees with you.
It's from one of his stand up specials. I think it's from "For What It's Worth." I could be wrong, though.
