    I think Phillips is now in the Capers category. He's failed too many times as a HC to get another shot.

    Saw Jerome Solomon tweet that name as well. Guy's got a pretty good resume.

    It's Phillips. This is a HUGE mistake. If anything the Texans need EMOTION and they won't get it from Kubiak or Phillips, the all laid back, what me worry, coaching staff. I can't think of a worse choice, but of course that is what will happen. The defense needs a good kick in the butt. Won't happen. Kube and Wade, the dynamic duo of ho hum dum. Not firing Kubiak was bad enough, but adding Wade Phillips. Can it get worse? Yes it can. Firing Kube after next season and promoting Wade Phillips.

    Kubiak is far from laid back.

    It will be Phillips. Why else would the Texans even name the guy during the press conference. Consider how incompetent the organization would look if the one guy they named didn't take (get) the job?

    That said... what would possess the Houston organization to hire a Dallas Cowboy reject? :confused:

    Does Juan Rivera HAVE to be a head coach or stay put? Can he not come, hes done it before. Or would he simply not bother?

    He was named by a reporter asking a question. Gary just responded.

    I think you mean Ron Rivera. I doubt he'd leave his current DC gig for another. Personally I can't understand why he hasn't already taken over the Chargers by now.

    i heard the opposite on his 610 interview this evening. he said that they have contacted wade and have a couple more options to contact for meetings but didnt want to get into it. wants to move through the process pretty quickly so there is plenty of time to evaluate.

    i also could of misheard but thats what it sounded like to me since he was referring to all the speculation going around about wade. he also did say, about wade, he liked his experience and can be successful with a 3-4 or 4-3.

    ...
    im not pulling for wade. someone brought up ron rivera from sd in another thread and he convinced me he would be a good idea.

    Ever seen him yell? Ever seen him jump up and down on the sideline? Ever seen him do the "distorted" face a la Gruden or Cowher? Not saying that would make him effective, but he appears very laid back to me.

    What you see on the sidelines is a poor indication of what happens in practice, the lockerroom or team meetings/film study.

    Hmmm. Has it slipped out that you are an insider? A player? A coach? Bob, is that you? Own up, give us some insider info. It will just be between us and the other several thousand Clutch Fans.
