If Gary's tenure as Texans HC ends this season, who are the possible replacements, and who would you want as new HC?

I am not sure who I'd want.

I worry that guys like Gruden and Cowher have been out of the coaching game for too long.

I'm also not thrilled with having a college coach move up.

The real problem is all the good coaches have jobs.

Someone that is current in this pass happy league. Sooner or later, cut blocking will be outlawed. The spread is the way to go. The NFL is just years behind the NCAA this time around.

We need a coach to put their foot up their collective asses. Not one that acts like eeyore on the on the sideline and after a loss. Cowher, Gruden, I'd even take Coughlin at this point.


And if I had to choose a college coach, it would be David Shaw from Stanford.
 
No no no. Laugh all you want but I believe Gruden salivates at the thought of coaching this team and it would draw him out.
what makes gruden so desirable?

gruden got canned from tampa. he won a superbowl with dungy's team.

gruden runs the same crap offense kubiak does.

NO THANKS

Whoever it is I hope their a little more aggressive and possibly keep Wade but whoever it is, needs to be exactly opposite of the " Golly G, Aww shucks" mentality

I don't care what he salivates at. I'd prefer someone fresh with a different perspective.

That said, I'll take gruden over kubiak a day.

I don't think Sumlin would be interested. He seems like the guy who would wait until his contract is up before he leaves A&M.

Dan Quinn,
The Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator is the only person on my list right now.

A lot of times when this argument is made, it ignores the fact that he win the superbowl against his old team.

And still, even ignoring that, being a finisher is what this team needs. The ability to take a team that's already built and win big with them is not a bad thing in this instance.

I'm sure Tampa is happy that gruden was able to get them over the hump.

Gruden is not top on my list either. He's been out for too long and he never really built a team that he won with.

I'd rather see a defensive minded coach who brings in a good OC.

I think the other option is to start with a GM.

BUENO!
Can I assume we're talking about the eventual replacement for Wade Phillips here? I mean, really I'm pretty sure Wade is the Head-Coach-in-Waiting here. Like it or not we're probably going to have to sit through a couple of years of Wade giving it one more shot before we get another shot at a legitimate HC.

Nope. I think Wade survives as the DC though.

I think you are right

He is right. The best that could come of this:

Wade promoted, Vance Joseph promoted to DC, the Redskins stink and the Shanahans are fired in Washington and Kyle is hired as OC

I was going to mention Kyle Shanahan as well, Bob might want to stick with the same system on offense...
How much of it is Kyle Shanahan? When he was here he didn't start calling plays until the end of his tenure. Is his Dad giving him full reign ?

I think our personnel is geared towards him as a coach, just not sure how independent he has been.

Keep it Movin!
I thinm lil shanny or greg roman from 49ers. Roman could also bring mangini with him also. I'm thinking Shanny Jr who was a pretty good play caller when he was here.

1. Gruden
2. Saban
3. Mike Zimmer
4. Adam Gase
5 Kyle Shanahan
6. Les Miles (he has more balls than Kubiak could ever dream of)

Hall of Fame
A fresh face...with at least NFL coordinator experience....offense or defense

Jay Gruden, Adam Gase, mike zimmer.....maybe even Dirk Koetter, Dean Pees.

If it has to be retred....Cowher or John Gruden..only....maybe mike nolan

I vote for Sumlin and Keenum.....revive the Run & Shoot!!!

I would run through the streets naked!

:kubepalm:

:backsout: at my own comment about running through the streets lol!

Mack Brown!! Not.

Regardless of whether it is the best option or not, Wade is the obvious choice. It's the easiest decision for McNair to make and the easiest transition. Our sights should be on an OC with a completely different system to the Kubiak/Dennison suck fest. It may be enough.

If I were taking a flyer though, I would take Coughlin. It would only last a couple of years and would toughen some of the younger guys up for the future. Part of our problem is that a large part of our roster has never had their azz properly rode by an NFL HC.

I concur. Sumlin is the easy decision IMO.
I simply don't understand this. Please explain how is this would be such an easy decision for you? Sumlin basically got the Aggie job because of Case Keenum, and now is riding the JF wave. Neither QBs of which he recruited. Sumlin has YET to start his very own QB. Talk about taking a huge leap of faith in my opinion.

Whomever we picked as coach qb, and O-Line help has to be the number 1 priority for our off season plans as an organization.

The obvious choice here would be Bill Cowher because he has the pedigree. Also, the Texans don't require a complete overhaul. They have a good defense and a good running game. You can build a team around those two aspects and of course you're going to need a QB. I'm assuming Schaub is going to be cut after this season and I don't know if Yates or Keenum are starter quality but we have to find out. If not, they can draft a good QB to build around.
