    I'd think that KC offense is like our 2010 defense. Playmakers, but crap level production out of very key positions and a flummoxed coordinator. Charlie Weis had it right. You got a stout line and a potential top 5 back, you run. An adequate OC ( jury's still out on Daboll from Miami) and Qb are a lot to ask for in an offseason, but even one of those two allows them to contend in the AFC west.

    Ray Lewis and Ed Reed are the mainstays... but they've gone through quite a bit of turnover, and different coordinators, and remain elite.

    The Texans have a few good cornerstones in place (Cushing, Watt, Reed, J-Joseph)... and this could give them the oppourtnity to build around the defense no matter who is the coordinator.

    Understandably wants another shot, can't blame him. Nothing wrong with staying here either. Embrace the Dick LeBeau role! ;) Easier said than done, ha.

    Yes he was DC for buffalo and SD which makes him on top of their coaching search.

    He was also Buffalo's head coach already... which would make him a retread hire (alhough it would be better than what the Bills currently have).

    This will be Cassell's third head coach. For that team to move forward, Cassell can not be the QB.

    This was my biggest fear about the texans when Phillips gets another shot. Kubiak and smith just can't evaluate defensive coaches (bush, smith). if I'm McNair I write a blank check to wade and say how much do you want. I've seen the texans defense with really bad DCs and I don't want to go down that road again. If wade leaves promote our DB coach.

    I guess I was thinking Saints might wanna cut ties with him as a PR move.

    Cutting ties with Payton would be a HORRIBLE PR move. Saints fans pretty much worship the guy.

    Can the man, even at 65, not accept his lot in life? The dude is a phenomenal defensive coordinator. One of the best there is. He is not a good head coach by any measure.

    Except wins and losses. Wade Phillips is 82-59 as a head coach.
