I like the idea of having Harbaugh as the HC myself. But you gotta know that
Harbaugh would insist on dumping Schaub and drafting his Stanford QB if he could convince him to come out for the 2011 Draft, assuming we'll have a
Draft next year.

How do we have anything close to the 1st pick of the draft? Without it Luck is going elsewhere.

Schottenheimer for HC

Wade Phillips for DC....and yes, a modified 3-4 with existing personnel.

Wade may not want to go back into coaching for awhile. He has to be fairly burned out. But he would be a candidate for DC in my book.

Its a long shot, but in all honesty, I think Kubiak getting shit canned is a long shot, but keep an eye on the Titan situation. I can see a pissing contest brewing with the VY/Fisher/Adams circus......

I for one sure wouldn't mind seeing Fisher on the sidelines in Houston again.

Just in case you were wondering....these teams have defenses that I'm really enamored with and looking to poach coaches off their rosters...

Pittsburgh
Green Bay
New York Jets
Baltimore
Cleveland
Miami
San Diego
Kansas City

These teams consistently hold offenses to less than their average scoring output. That would be an answered prayer. I have the Texans defense only ahead of the Bills, Broncos, and Cardinals. I'm curious if the Broncos are second guessing allowing Mike Nolan to go to Miami.

Default How could I forget Special Teams Coach?

http://www.newyorkjets.com/team/coac...0-dfbe56cdb54f

Brad Smith is a college QB who averages 28 yards per kick return. Ben Kotwica is from West Point, but I'm not going to let that cloud my judgment. Hopefully he has learned a lot from Special Teams guru Mike Westhoff.

Ben Kotwica was promoted to assistant special teams coach after two seasons as a quality control coach on defense and special teams.

◊ Joined the Jets after two seasons as the defensive coordinator at the U.S. Military Academy Preparatory School, in Monmouth, NJ.

The more I read on this the more it seems that Bud Adams is siding with VY, which could/should mean that Fisher will want out of Tennessee.

If Kubiak is fired also look for Rick Smith to go, if that is the case then we need a real GM.

IMO I would look at Floyd Reese, former GM of the Oilers/Titans and current Senior Football Advisor for the Patriots. He was hired to replace Scott Pioli.

Floyd was a position coach and scout. He is well respected and he built a Super Bowl Team for the miser Bud Adams.

Add the fact that Floyd and Fisher have worked together and their connections to Houston makes this a nice fit.

GM Floyd Reese

HC Jeff Fisher

OC Rick Dennison
Leave the rest of the offensive coaches alone

DC Chuck Cecil
AHC/LBs Mike Singletary
Secondary Marcus Robertson
Ast Secondary CBs Cris Dishman
DL Jason Fisk

I can only guess that fond Oilers memories have clouded your memory on Fisher. The guy has had his job for 17 years without a superbowl win. In fact only 5 playoff wins that entire time. And none since 2003.

Is 6 playoff appearances in 17 years really what we aspire to? I know it would be an improvement on what we have had, but for me it really is superbowl or bust.

If we are going to hire a re-tread coach why not hire one with a superbowl win.

Or go with a guy who is fresh.

To me it is either Cowher, Dungy (if we have a miracle up our sleeves), Harbaugh if we want to roll the dice and try for a guy who may be great, or the top defensive assistant who can compliment our offense the way Dungy/Gruden came into teams who already had one side of the ball figured out.

But if you told me the Texans weren't going to win a superbowl in the next 17 years but they would make the playoffs 5 times, I wouldn't take it.

Reese and Fisher didn't part ways on the best of terms; the story was that Fisher won a power struggle. Reese's wife described the situation as more of a backstabbing than a battle. I'd have interest in both of those guys, but it doesn't look like the combination would work.

Like Bob said, Fisher would bring many of the qualities that the current staff lacks. He's gotten a lot out of the talent he's had (and the organization he's worked for) and he generally hires quality assistants -- Gregg Williams, Jim Schwartz, Norm Chow, Mike Muchak, Jim Washburn (not a big name but consistently makes productive DLs out of the likes of Jason Babin), etc.

I haven't looked closely back at Reese's track record but I remember it being pretty solid with more hits than misses. The fact that he's been working for the Patriots boosts his stock in my eyes.

I respect Floyd Reese, but wasn't a guy named Diamond the true architect of the Tack's SB year? Reese was just his assistant. He is just a frontman for the real guru of the Patriots, Bill Bellicek.

Well, we are now 4-6 and going nowhere fast. By the end of the season we may just be in the first 10, if not the first pick. Now that would make me sick to my stomach if we were to do that, but I'll try to look on the bright side.

When Oh When is this team finally going to get it right? It has already been 8, going on 9 years since our first year in the league.

Childress is out in Minnesota. Singletary is on the way out in SF. I assume Fox will be let go in Carolina.

I bet you guys anything that McNair keeps Kubiak for next year. The labor uncertainty (nothing uncertain about it, actually), Kubiak's contract, the competition for head coaches... I just don't see McNair making a move even if the team loses out as I expect them to.

If we end up with 7 wins they keep Kubiak, but I can easily see us getting fewer than that (maybe none after yesterday), and end up with a top 5 or near top 5pick. Combine that with our #1 in 2012 might bring the #1 overall in 2011 ?
This is of course a very unlikely scenario but stranger things have happened ?
