Thanks for your support! 🍺😎👍
Last year there was a lot of inside zone.The Texans have always run some zone scheme even under O'Brien (not much though).
I’m pretty sure that never happenedThe Titans also run the WCO and the ZBS while AJ Cann was there.
Who is he?Just hope he does not last for a season like the other two coaches. Blame the management for not knowing what they are doing. Will leave it at that.
Are you talking about the tight end coach or Demeco Ryans?Just hope he does not last for a season like the other two coaches. Blame the management for not knowing what they are doing. Will leave it at that.
Hopefully it will go better for him there than in Minny.
I wanted him because I was hoping to Gary help Demeco a little with, as you said, QB evaluation. Oh well.
Gary is most definitely available for Demeco to lean on regardless of where Klint ended up. He's already said as much ....
I think Klint made the best career decision and is with a guy who he's known since Gary was playing in Denver.
When Slowik blows the league away in three years and gets a HC gig, we can pluck another OC from Lil Shanny. Keep that pipeline full.yeah if I had known sf was an option for him I would never have even bothered thinking about him. He may have ties to Demeco, but Klint, klay and Kyle might as well all be brothers. Of course he’d go there. It’s also the best for his own career advancement, but even without that, that’s his boy.
Oh definitely...just making a joke!Rather than hope Shanny has a staff worth plucking.
In this scenario of 3 years from now. I'd rather we could be developing our own staff than relying upon the generosity of others.
Now, 100% self reliance isnt likely... but if we are hoping in one hand........
Well, I do hope Shanny is still being plucked so Ryans staff goes unnoticed and remains in tact... but....Oh definitely...just making a joke!

Hired him for what? Is he our Director of Football Operations? Easterby replacement?

Strange that all sources are reporting his hire without mention of position or "undisclosed" position.Hired him for what? Is he our Director of Football Operations? Easterby replacement?
At his chief of staff position at Yale, he oversaw budget management, football support staff, team travel, meals and the team’s schedule, directed the annual football camp, coordinated internships and was a liaison for the team with the university and for parents and alumni.Maybe he’s the new capologist.

Houston Texans coach DeMeco Ryans
is nearly done putting together his first official staff. Ryans' latest hiring came Saturday afternoon by adding Jake Olson as Assistant Senior Assistant, according to reports.
Did the Texans hire Dwight Schrute?An assistant senior assistant assists the senior assistant, who assists the chief assistant. The chief assistant assists the Lord Assistor.
No thanks.An assistant senior assistant assists the senior assistant, who assists the chief assistant. The chief assistant assists the Lord Assistor.
A.S.S. coordinator? Ok but make certain He does not have a no trade clause.
With that resume I'm hoping he is the cathologist.At his chief of staff position at Yale, he oversaw budget management, football support staff, team travel, meals and the team’s schedule, directed the annual football camp, coordinated internships and was a liaison for the team with the university and for parents and alumni.
That was me one time and I made coffee, cleaned the trash cans, emptied ash trays, and rapidly responded to "come here, boy!!".An assistant senior assistant assists the senior assistant, who assists the chief assistant. The chief assistant assists the Lord Assistor.
Colts fans hate him but outside of last year they had a good line every year Strausser was there.

Warhop came with good resume and great expectation. Colts have had very good olines but what will Strausser do differently? I anticipate better players but if that was all they probably would have kept Warhop.Strausser is an excellent hire. Experience with a track record of success everywhere he’s coached.
Surprised Mcdaniels didn’t jump on over to his brother’s staff. A holdover for 3 coaching regimes now must mean he’s easy to work with (even if we haven’t seen the production at WR).

Chris Olsen (former Texans capologist) was the Senior Vice President of Football Administration. That position has not been filled but Andrew Brown is the Director of Football Administration.Maybe he’s the new capologist.
I don’t think they dumped Warhop because he was a bad coach. Probably just different philosophies about how things need to be done.Warhop came with good resume and great expectation.

Thanks and this is way I perceived it. I know it still paper with no HC experience as some tems are doing but I prefer it with hungry coaching as well as players.Strausser signals a philosophical scheme shift imo. Warhop would have been fine if Texans were to stick with gap heavy scheme. But Strausser is a better fit to coach ZBS that Slowick should be bringing from the Lil Shanny tree.
Dino Vasso another coach retained. Young CB coach that did a solid job last season keeping CB play as a strength of the team despite injuries to Stingley/Thomas for large chunks of the season.
I recently read a tweet saying surprised that Ben didn't sign with his brother Josh McDaniels. Thoughts?
I'm guessing the Colts' Oline was much more impressive recently than what Warhop was doing.I don’t think they dumped Warhop because he was a bad coach. Probably just different philosophies about how things need to be done.
If it were me though, I’d have tried to find a way to make it work. He was only here one year but looked like he was on the right track.
That is, unless they think that much more highly of Strausser & couldn’t pass on the opportunity.

Now if we have or can get the right players.. center is a focal point IIRC? Chris Myers undersized but did pretty well but I cannot recall if that was a ZBS in 2008?I said it around the time Demeco was hired that if they were going to the San Francisco style offense (Kubiak/Shanny) that the Oline coach needed to be very experienced in that type of offense. I don't know Warhop's past coaching experience, but Strausser has instructional videos on the ZBS: https://www.championshipproductions...nside-and-Outside-Zone-Schemes_FD-03000C.html
Strausser has a really good background with ZBS: https://gohuskies.com/staff-directory/chris-strausser/307
Based on what I've read I really think this was a good hire.
Here are all of his lectures just fyi: https://www.championshipproductions.com/cgi-bin/champ/auth/2238/Chris-Strausser.html?id=HFm9IFeLLIJL

Definitely ZBS...Kubiak was one of the most fervent Shanny disciples. When we finally lucked into Foster, that system was a thing of beauty. Until that fateful day in Tampa Bay...Now if we have or can get the right players.. center is a focal point IIRC? Chris Myers undersized but did pretty well but I cannot recall if that was a ZBS in 2008?
