I kinda like that pairing more than the Mike Borgonzi/Bieniemy pairing just because the defense seemingly needs more help than the offense. Having a guy bring in a scheme (a la your Wade Phillips thread) would hopefully make it easier to improve more quickly when paired with a guy who has already scouted/drafted for that scheme. I'm also banking pretty hard on D4 being able to work with pretty much any OC as long as they are semi-competent. He can definitely make a good OC look like a great OC which is something we can't say about the piece parts which compromise this defense.
Eberflus and Dodds have been stellar talent evaluators everywhere they've gone, and they've gotten value in the late rounds. Something we desperately need right now. Eberflus also has experience coordinating passing game. He did so in Dallas with Dak for a year. In my opinion, these guys would make a killer combo, especially with a great offensive coordinator.
looks like texans are determined to hire a minority gm and hc, regardless if there are any other more qualified ones out there
How does one make that assumption? Because they’ve interviewed minority candidates that somehow means they’re determined to hire minorities only? I think they will do their due diligence on all the top candidates and make football decisions on both head coach and GM. You’re almost making it sound like minority candidates aren’t as qualified as non minorities
I grew up in Smiley's district. It was a black school district in the 70's through 90''s and has been taken over by hisd
Is that true?? I read that part of his bio but took it to mean he was the *defensive* passing game coordinator?... That would be a cool little feather in his cap is you're right.
Maybe I misunderstood it, but that's the way I understood it. I'll do a little more googling. Edit: after googling, you are correct. Defensive passing game coordinator. My bad. Still wouldn't mind him.
Hiring Dodds doesn’t mean we don’t get EB, hiring Mike B doesn’t me we do get EB, we might not hire any of the the three, but I’d bet my money on Dodds or Mike B as GM and EB as coach. Texans front office not exactly hiding who they want. On another note I’ve heard that the cap situation isn’t a big detriment to anyone interested in the position. The draft picks are even less of a detriment(only effects upcoming draft which is a weird draft as it is). Easterbunny is currently the biggest detriment but it keeps looking like he either won’t be here(we can all hope) or he will have no say in personnel moves. As far as coaching the biggest thing is Deshaun, he’s the ultimate recruiting chip as he’s by some distance the best player on a team with a HC opening. He alone makes the Texans job the most desirable(seen as better than having the 1st or 2nd pick). Also, keep an eye on Dougie P in Philly, as if he’s let go he’ll receive a call from the Texans a few minutes after it’s announced
It's not a BS hit piece. It's uncomfortable truths that you dont want to acknowledge. Also how many NFCCG's/SB's has Harbaugh made it too? That alone should've made him a candidate.
The Jags have had draft picks, cap space, and seemingly decent prospects to choose from for the last 10 years and have one winning season to show for it. And although I think Trevor Lawrence will be good there’s no guarantee that he will be(I think Justin Fields will be a bust cause Ohio State QBs always bust)
