Mike Sherman
- Thread starter texman8
- Start date
And you know he's probably only gonna be here for 1 year, so its quite aLucky said:
hassle to uproot for 12 months, then move again, especially if he has younger, grade or HS age kids. And he probably doesn't want to live away from his family and fly back and forth several times a month, though many of us have to live that way at times.
I dunno....he may have to tough it out on the golf course, fly fishing in the Rockies, tours of Europe & Asia for a year or so until another round of HC jobs open up this time next year.

Relax, you freaks........just let the man decide. If he wants to come here, then he will. If he does not want to coach, then he will not. Yall guys are so damn inpatient. Just relax, he will decide when he decides. I say give him all off-season if that helps his decision.

The one thing I thought McNair needed to do was go out and get a coaching staff to match the talent this ball club has. It looks like he has and I think Texans can look forward to a prosperous year. My question is when are Carr and Kubiack moving their coaches into Reliant so they can start working together? Both have been proponents of that option.
I have listened to the interviews of Kubiack and about Kubiack and I must admit that I come off very impressed at this point in time. He certainly sounds like he has the personality that I would like to see in a head coach for the Texans. He seems to posses the offensive knowledge we need and he seems to be no slouch with respect to the defense. He has aquired a good mix of experience and youth for coaches and I look forward seeing how they mold this ball club.
The pressures on Kubiack are going to be tremendous, but I think he has the presonality that can handle it. His biggest challenge is not going to be offense, but rather defense. As many have posted the defense is really the over the hill gang in many important spots. I like the fact that he has retained Marciano and I liked Marciano's interview at the Pro Bowl. I do believe Mathis is a special player.
I will continue to say this ball club has a lot of raw talent that has never seen the light of day. The previous coaching staff destroyed all resemblances of talent any of the players had. People chasitze Carr for not being a leader, but the same could be said for the defense. Yes, DROB is a force, but he was not Glenn or Sharper. Last years coaching staff saw to it that this was a leaderless ball club and you saw the results. They wanted no one challenging their decisions. I think Carr will show more maturity than you think under the tuitoring of Kubiack. He will become a decision maker on the field. We saw one game last year where that was the case. Rather I should say one quarter and he showed us a hidden talent which was immediately squashed. I truely believe the Texans have fixed a lot of their problems and many of those were centered around the coaching department. Folks, sit back and relax, and watch what happens with next years ball club. I truely believe you are going to be astounded in the differences. It will take a while to be a contender, but you are going to see a big difference right out of the shute.

So if this is true do we take an OL outright with the first pick in the 1st rd or trade our #1 and go down to #4-5 and get more picks?

Solid adition but I won't hold my breath. The guy just got fired less than 2 months ago. He's also taking a position 2 teirs below his previous position as well as not being able to make up his mind if he wanted to be here or not.
Question? Was Sherman at A&M when McKinney was there?

I believe he was there for a year in the mid 90s. Maybe 95-96. I guess he would have encountered McKinney. I wonder what that will do for McKinney.
Out of all the fired coaches, he was the only one I would have liked to see. Even if it's for one year it will be an improvement over what the team had.

Sherman:
McKinney was starting left guard '95-'97.
Probably more relevant is Gary Kubiak's 1st coaching job was RB's coach at A&M '92-'93.

Thanks for providing the real numbers. It looks like they spent 2 seasons together. Maybe Sherman can convince McKinney that he wants to restructure into a cap friendly contract.

AP reports the Texans welcomed former Green Bay Packers HC Mike Sherman into their offices on Monday. They plan to welcome him officially onto the staff as soon as today. Sherman, 51, arrived in the late afternoon and immediately met with new Texans HC Gary Kubiak. Much of the night was spent negotiating a deal with Sherman. As soon as a contract is done, Sherman will be named the Texans' assistant head coach/offense. He will oversee the offensive line with line coach John Benton. The Texans are withholding an announcement until the contract has been signed. Sherman was unavailable for comment. Sherman is expected to be introduced, along with Kubiak's entire coaching staff, during a press conference Wednesday.

Sweet! 
The experience and insight a coach like Sherman brings to the franchise is invaluable. I'd expect to see a 180 degree turnaround in our pass protection with him taking over offensive line duties.

The first really good news since Kubiak was hired. Finally some experience and really good experience at that, on the coaching staff. I expect to see dramtic improvement with the oline next year due to better players, better scheme, and better overall coaching. I am still worried about the D, but between Kubes and Sherman, the offense is now in good hands!

Thank god...Now maybe we will see what our offense can really do and with the most likely addition of our first rd. draft pick being a Offensive player we will be able to show the league why our offense can rightfully be named one of the top offenses in the league. That is if our offensive line learns to hold up.

Chronicle reports Sherman is ours:
The Texans welcomed former Green Bay Packers head coach Mike Sherman into their offices on Monday afternoon. Late that evening, they welcomed him onto their staff with a three-year contract.
Sherman, 51, arrived at Reliant Stadium and immediately met with new Texans coach Gary Kubiak. Much of the night was then spent negotiating Sherman's deal, which made him the Texans' assistant head coach/offense. One of his main duties will be overseeing the coaching of the offensive line with line coach John Benton.

assistant head coach, sherman trumps everyone but kubiak. i think mcnair is taking snyder's approach and building his coaching staff is priority one. i'm in firm opinion that this will be a trend. coaching salaries will jump and teams will go to any means to stack their office ... and IMO it's about damn time. belichick, sherman, shannahan, holmgren, cowher ... look at the rotating rosters, and look at the stability and winning percentage of top tier coaching. look at denver, trusting coaching of free agents and middle round picks to build a perennial winner. look at pitt & new england, drafting ugly and towards coaching style knowing they could be greats with the proper teachings. the only constant in these top tier teams is coaching, and always has been. i'm more than willing to give kubiak atleast 2 winless seasons, because of where we currently stand, and where i think (and mcnair apparently thinks) kubiak can take us.
i love the signing, but the only worry i have is that we've got more cheifs than indians on the offensive side (kubiak, sherman, casserly, reeves, mcnair), and the exact opposite on the defensive side with extremely little experience. i dont like being pessimistic on such a positive aspect, but i've seen the outcome of that scenario entirely too often. kubiak NEEDS to be the one & only final decision on all matters ... if he's not, i can guarantee that things will get very ugly very fast in the office (my guarantee is that if we get funky with conflict of interest, we turn into the raiders for a few years).
what excites me most about signing sherman though, is that between him & reeves we're in better position to set up kubiak for the long term. i dont think it's out of line to say that most folks in this area would love nothing more than to see kubiak around for the long haul (10+ years) and given a legitimate chance to build a franchise instead a one year team. i think that's what reeves & sherman are going to do. building kubiak should be their priority, building the texans should be kubiak's.
Scooter said:
I guess that's my point. Usually the coordinators are clear #2's but considering Sherman's tenure as a head coach and Calhoun's lack of tenure as a coordinator, that would seem to favor Sherman in the 'sage' role.
I've read that Baltimore had a bit of an issue with too many cooks in the kitchen with Billick, Fassel, and Neuheisel all trying to impose their will at times so that's one thing to watch.
I think Calhoun clearly understands who's the boss and that it's Gary's offense that he's being asked to implement. But you never know how an agressive young man with his sights set on having a certain level of freedom and flexibility in making certain decisions will react when a more senior person is brought into the mix. This is what will be new to Gary. Managing a staff and everything that comes with it.

I think when we should also consider Sherman has good experience as the GM for the Packers as well. I believe he served in that capacity for 3 years. It could have been 4. He brought in guys like Nick Barnett and Javon Walker. We could use some assistance getting the most talent out of the draft.

Look, I'm just glad the Sherman's here for the sake of this message board. After all, come week 2 this season, folks will have an easier time formulating their "FIRE KUBIAK!" threads without making their heads get all hot from thinking of alternatives. Now, there's a contender. 
Good hire--shores up a need for experience. I think the guy was a victim of circumstances in GB, and I think they'll be regretting that firing very soon. Their loss, our gain.
