Our Owner, Mr. McNair, General Manager Charlie Casserly and Consultant Dan Reeves interviewed canidate number 1 today, Scott Linehan, current offensive coordinator of the improved Miami Dolphins.
(On the Texans improving like Dolphins did)
"Those are some of the things that are going to have to be addressed here and hopefully those would be some of the lessons I've been able to learn and maybe draw upon for this franchise," Linehan said.
When Linehan was previously Minnesota Vikings Offensive coordinator and Quaterbacks coach last season (his third year with the Vikings by then), he seen, first hand, the Texans play them, in what was an amazing comeback for the Texans, but resulted in an overtime loss. Still, David Carr and Andre Johnson did tremendous in leading the comeback. Carr thrw for 372 yards and 3 TD's. Johnson had 12 catches, resulting in 170 yards and two scores. Again, Linehan was on the Vikings sidelines to witness the whole thing.
In the interview, he recited those very stats to excact, he was however one catch off.
(On Andre Johnson)
"Andre Johnson is probably the young version of a Randy Moss, a guy that could dominate a game. I saw it in person."
Scott Linehan spent much of the day tourning Houston's facilities, he watched some film, and got aquainted with some people in the orginization.
(On his experience on his first interview for a head coach)
Its talking about the things we talk about all the time: coaching decisions and what you plan on doing with the staff and things like that, Its really talking about all the things you talk about and do for a living everyday.
(on turning things around with Miami this year)
Hopefully, those would be some of the lessons Ive been able to learn and draw upon for this franchise.
Overall, I personally think Scott Linehan is a good football guy, and is very smart in what he does. I wish him the best of luck in becoming the next Texans head coach, I really wouldn't mind having him at all.
Kansas City Offensive Coordinator, Al Saunders will be interviewd by the Texans tomorrow.
