Ragone ? Our Dave Ragone, the southpaw QB the Texans drafted awhile back ! Hey Joker you've got your own rolodex, you know your stuff man !I agree with Seth’s take. I also want an experienced OC so that person can put together a competent coaching staff through what can only be gained from experience and connections.
Slowik was given his staff because he didn’t have a rolodex like Nick does. DeMeco was able to get guys on defense he was familiar with from previous stops. I want the OC to be able to be like Wade Phillips. You run this thing and get your guys to do it.
Guys like Pederson, Mccarthy, Kelly and Reich have that rolodex.
Though if we’re going younger i’d sooner take a Rams candidate (Ragone or Caley) with the hopes of poaching the Mcvay coaching tree for assistants. And I can get on board with Klint Kubiak assuming he can bring in Benton as his OL coach and ask his dad to consult. Ragone has the added benefit of previous OC experience, but Arthur Smith was calling plays in Atlanta.
And Benton, the OLine coach who's already done one tour of duty here with the Texans. Recognize those names.
OK man thanks for your input, appreciate it !
