its all about the benjamins! but i cant believe that he would be willing to come here if he even got permission to speak with us.

would put much heat into the debate of keeping the 34 when players and fans have been calling for the 43

Ah, it all makes sense now. He just had a heart attack and wants to come home.
 
Isn't it a little disconcerting that not a single major media outlet is reporting this independently yet? Not one that I can find. The only references I can find point back to this small sububurban newspaper. This is a paper not even in Boston. I'm not sure I am putting much stock in this YET, although I do hope it's true. You would think that at least one outlet, whether ESPN, the Chronicle, Berman, someone, anyone, could corborate this story, as I am sure they have been burning up the phone lines today....yet we get nothing. Don't count your chickens before they hatch.

Actually I was thinking of Dwayne Board

http://www.seahawks.com/coaches.aspx?SecID=43&CoachID=21

or

John Marshall

http://www.seahawks.com/coaches.aspx?SecID=43&CoachID=25

That is what I was thinking because it has been so quiet and they are pre-occupied with bigger things at the moment.

I first read about the John Marshall idea on this board...I think Kaiser Toro posted it.

But back to topic, I hope that the Sherman news is announced soon. I will rest easier.
 
Kubiak has denied that Sherman has accepted, said that Sherman is still thinking about it. Kubiak stated that he was willing to wait for a guy the quality of Sherman. Should be in tomorrows Chronicle, maybe on the web site sooner.

Texans | Kubiak denies Sherman has accepted his job offer
Wed, 1 Feb 2006 18:20:36 -0800

John McClain, of the Houston Chronicle, reports Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak denied an earlier report out of Boston that Mike Sherman had accepted his offer to join the Texans. "That story's false," Kubiak said about the report that Sherman had accepted his offer. "Mike hasn't decided anything yet. I told him how much I'd like to have him, but I told him to take his time and let me know when he'd decided." Sherman is not expected to make a decision to join the Texans as assistant head coach/offensive line before next week.
 
http://www.wbay.com/Global/story.asp?S=4469672

The Houston Texans are still holding the door open for former Green Bay Packers coach Mike Sherman, even though the team has hired a coach to handle the job already offered to Sherman.

The Texans hired an offensive line coach Tuesday but said that person will become the assistant offensive line coach if Sherman accepts their offer. Sherman would also serve as assistant head coach.

This is becoming a rather long courtship. Last week a suburban Boston newspaper cited sources close to Sherman saying he accepted the job, then the next day Texans coach Gary Kubiak said Sherman didn't give an answer yet.

The job is Sherman's if he wants it. The Texans expect a decision this week.
 
Kaiser I think he needs to give his answer pretty soon, but to leave the door open does not hurt us that much. Sherman will be a good addition to the line and can only help us in facets of the operation. I just hope we are not missing out on other guys that he is interested in by waiting on Sherman. I do think though if Sherman comes in it will be more likely we go defense. I was looking at most drafts when a offensive coach was hired and most of the time they go defense to improve that side of the ball. We may do this in the draft or FA, but unless they feel we need a QB I am pulling for defense.

Thinking the same thing.
 
This is all speculation. Heard this morning that we won't know if he accepts until the end of the week. Period.
 
It's up to McNair to dazzle Sherman with green. He said he would spend money to put a great coaching staff together, but we haven't seen it yet. Get it done McNair.

To quote Slap Shot, "thats what it says in the year book Jim."
 
Honestly, I am excited about this new coaching staff. I have said it before and I'll stand by it, I feel like this is going to turn out to be one of those "dream team" coaching staffs of years past. I hope I'm right, this town could sure use the boost. Regardless, it's going to better than the uncreative and unaggressive staff that we've previously had.:redtowel: :homer:

IIRC, the Packers have to pay the difference between the salary he receives from a new team and his old salary.

So I am guessing, there isn't huge incentive to make at least the early years of such a contract big.

As for McNair spending money, I think Kubiak is getting the guys he wants--the only ones he hasn't gotten haven't rejected us because of money, but rather because they can't get out of their old contracts (PHX guy) or they just don't want to come here (Dan Neil rumor).
 
I truly hope Sherman comes on board. He would be a great assett on this staff and I agree with the earlier poster about this possibly turning out to be the early makings of a great team staff. It could possibly be a dream team staff if thigns work out well over the next few years.

I certainly feel this staff will NOT lack in taking chances, trying new things. calling out players to step it up, encouraging and trying to support every facet of being a real NFL quality team. I think they will be trying everything they can to get the most out of this team and I'm all for it. :redtowel:

With Sherman on board it would certainly lend even more legitimacy to the staff being good, but honestly I like the idea of giving all the young coaches a break to try and be the coaches they truly want to be. Something to be said about people being in a job they enjoy and are passionate about. I think it will bleed over to the players and hopefully translate well on the field too! :yahoo:
 
OK...is it for sure that Sherman is going to be with the Texans? I haven't seen anything on it, nor have I seened it confirmed on this board. Could someone point me to it if I missed it.

EYES OF TEXANS
Look for former Packers head coach Mike Sherman to decide within the week whether to accept an offer to become the Houston Texans assistant head coach, overseeing the team's offensive line.

The Texans have recruited Sherman as hard as they can. He was brought to Texans owner Bob McNair's house for a get-to-know-you lunch in which Houston made it known how important Sherman could be to its team. Then they gave Sherman as much time as he wanted and needed to make his decision.

Indications are that, ultimately, Sherman will take the offer. The organization is too good for him not to, and Sherman and Kubiak are good friends from their days coaching together at Texas A&M.

Official word is due any time now.

If you turn up the sound on your computer while visiting this thread you will hear the Jeopardy music. Actually that is the friggin guy that sits next to me who has it as a ringer on his phone. :)
 
so if Sherman comes on board, what's the over/under on number of days until we see a "bring Favre to Houston to mentor Young" post?

10 minutes, tops. This place has been a mad house since just before the season.
 
When and if Sherman gets hired, I am going to love all the Aggie coaches we will have around this organization. Maybe we can bring in RC Slocum to play with the Defense, Bucky Richardson can do a little QB stuff, and oh ya, we need Ray Childress to be the D-Line coach.........I cant wait!:stirpot:
 
Texans | Sherman expected to accept assistant coaching position
Thu, 9 Feb 2006 19:26:43 -0800

John McClain, of the Houston Chronicle, reports former Green Bay Packers head coach Mike Sherman is expected to accept a position with the Houston Texans as their new assistant head coach/offensive line. The move may not become official before next week.


Might as well add this one also-


Texans | Team exercises Carr's option; move not expected to impact NFL Draft selection
Thu, 9 Feb 2006 19:09:20 -0800

John McClain, of the Houston Chronicle, reports the Houston Texans exercised the $8 million option that extends QB David Carr's contract through the 2008 season, according to a source close to the team. A formal announcement is expected Friday, Feb. 10. Carr's extension calls for the $8 million bonus and base salaries of $5.25 million this year, $5.5 million in 2007 and $6 million in 2008. The decision to extend Carr's contract has nothing to do with the top pick in the draft. The Texans still haven't decided if they'll select University of Texas QB Vince Young or Southern California RB Reggie Bush. The Texans also haven't ruled out the possibility of trading down.
 
Please Favre wouldnt mentor Aaron Rodgers and that team should mean alot to him. Why would he come here and mentor our QBs.
 
*the defensive end beats the left tackle around the corner, he sprints towards Carr. *Crashing sounds* . *Carr rolls over dazed. The Shermanator bends over and extends his hand,"Come with me if you want to live"

Please tell me he hasn't lowered himself to handing out campaign buttons and bumper stickers outside the Chronic's HQ?

Richard Justice and John McClain are the worst bandwagon riding reporters I have ever seen. No matter what goes on, they will make something up about VY and say because nothing negative has happened, then there is always a chance he comes here.
 
they said sometime this week we would hear something from sherman so dont go holding your breath right now

Actually, they said we would know sometime last week. Last week came and went, so they said we'd know by Monday. Doesn't look like that's gonna happen either.
 
The hot rumor was he would actually start work today. Kubes himself said he would let the media know Monday. Here it is Monday, and nothing.
