Quote:

The Texans have fired defensive coordinator Richard Smith, defensive backs coach Jon Hoke and defensive line coach Jethro Franklin. Smith, who was under fire from fans and media this season, was the coordinator during Gary Kubiak's first three seasons.

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Drew_Smoke · 12-30-2008

Nothing new here...lol

It was past time for a change.

**Vinny** · 12-30-2008

so....it looks like we will promote in house since Bush and a few other coaches are still around. Most coordinators want to bring in their own staff.

alphajoker · 12-30-2008

I wonder what the reasons were for firing Hoke and Franklin?

b0ng · 12-30-2008

Jay Glazer calls it.

It feels much better to be rid of that guy.

**Kaiser Toro** · 12-30-2008

Thank God Hoke is on that list.

I figured Bush would still be around, seemed like that was Kubes original intention as a DC/support staff since day 1.

If my mind serves me correctly, Arizona blocked us from talking with him.

Ok, I can remove my Fire'em All Avatar, as it was based on what Kubes would do with the DC.

TexansFanatic · 12-30-2008

Yessssssssss!!!!

you are correct. I hope we have fewer chiefs and more indians with our next staff. Kubiak did state that Rhodes will be retained for a second season though...perhaps he is Hokes replacement.

Happy New Year

Texan JBZ · 12-30-2008

Happy Freaking New Year! Now the real work begins. The defense has plenty to do from now until September.

My happiness knows no bounds (as long as I stay out of the NSZ, that is).

**Thorn** · 12-30-2008

Good riddance to Smithy boy.

I’d imagine we’ll be welcoming Frank Bush as our new defensive coordinator, but I guess we’ll have to wait on that. I’m sure the Texans management wants to weigh their options before making that decision.
