[Cowher interested in becoming Texans HC] Finally, Music to my ears...

I heard (somewhere, can't remember where) that Cowher is being considered for the Texans HC job. They said he had a very good relationship with McNair and likes the organization. He would keep the offense the way it is.

I don't prefer Cowher but I could get behind the decision.

i think they could switch to a 3-4 without much of a problem

I've wanted the 3-4 anyway. Usually a more aggressive defensive base.

Don't like giving him GM control, as that rarely works out....but....we'll see.

If and & buts were candy and nuts, we would all have a very merry Christmas. I'll believe it when I see it. And I doubt very much that Cower wants to leave all his chums on the pre-game show.

Shoot, I think it's Cowher's people putting all the rumors out there that he is interested in the Texans job.

How does Mario, a prototypical 4-3 defensive end, fit in a 3-4? This is my biggest issue in switching schemes, not coaching just schemes since it seems what talent we do have on defense is suited for the 4-3. A defense resembling Chicago, or the Giants or Vikings (last year anyway) would do just fine. I could be wrong but someone like Cowher concerns me in this regard.

Which guy on the Steelers pushed for Levon Kirkland and Greg Lloyd? If that was Cowher, I have no problem giving him GM control. If it was somebody else, then I'm a little worried. There's no doubt the Steelers have been great drafters over the years and know exactly what they are looking for and seem to find them and plug them into their system. I'm jealous as hell about it, but you have to give them props for their success.

I've been on Kubiak's corner all year but if we can get Cowher then I'm all for it. I also have no problem switching to 3-4. Regardless of whether Mario fits or not it can't possibly get worse than this year.

i think mario would fit as a d-end in a 3-4 very well. he is a bill rusher and plays the run as effectively as any d-lineman in the league. he would be making a lot of money for a 3-4 d-end, but i think he would fit in well.

Since Mario has been in the NFL, he has been terrible against the run. However, he has the size and speed to be great...that's potential. Potential means nothing, ask David Carr.

Mario is currently great as a supporting cast member, not a difference maker. No O coordinator gameplans around him.

With the right DC/HC that could change. Personally, I don't want Cowher because I anticipate a performance like his last year in Pittsburgh, similar to what Shanihan is and will do in Washington.
