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.

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.

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.

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........
Oh definitely...just making a joke!

Interesting to note, this is not Moreland’s first stint with the Texans… his first time here lasted about as long as Tony Boselli’s:


During his collegiate playing career, Moreland caught more passes (143) than any other tight end in school history and is tied for second in TDs (13) among tight ends. He earned All-MAC second team honors and was tabbed WMU’s offensive MVP in 1999. He was a first team All-MAC pick in 1998 and team captain in 1999.

Moreland went on to a professional career in the National Football League, playing for the New York Jets and Cleveland Browns. He retired in 2002, shortly after signing with the Houston Texans.
 
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.
A busy man.

With that resume I'm hoping he is the cathologist.

Edit.. capologist
 
Colts fans hate him but outside of last year they had a good line every year Strausser was there.

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).
 
A.S.S. coordinator? Ok but make certain He does not have a no trade clause.

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 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 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.
 
It looks like the final domino to fall could be RB coach for this staff. Aside from quality control or assistant to the assistant positions of course!

No word yet on whether Danny Barrett will be retained. Has been the team’s RB coach since 2018.

I remember it being rumored that Ryans was interested in adding Anthony Lynn as his OC. But I doubt he could get him on staff since he is already asst HC/RB coach with SF.

CJ Anderson was also released from his contract at Rice. Former player, recent coach. Has played in ZBS for Kubiak and Mcvay in Denver and LA. I liked him as a player.

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.

I'm guessing the Colts' Oline was much more impressive recently than what Warhop was doing.

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

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?

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...
