Texans let go offensive line coach Paul Dunn. Going in a different direction..... bet they already have someone in mind...

Good news for the Texans - the Bears hired Ryan Pace to be their new GM, choosing not to hire Brian Gaine. Seems Gaine is still in the running in Philadelphia.

The Texans keep affirming that Rick Smith isn't going anywhere as their GM, so hopefully they are able to retain Gaine and keep him scouting for the team.

Yep. Quick hire.
@LanceZierlein: Can’t tell you how excited I am that Mike Devlin is the new offensive line coach for Texans. Huge upgrade w/ very sharp man taking over.

Interesting we changed Oline coach as I thought Oline improved and did ok last year. But thanks to outgoing and welcome to incoming. Maybe Dunn has something lined up as well.

Heard there will be a Veteran FA combine this year to help the older FA find a new team and compare their skills all at one place for all teams to watch. March 22 in St. Louis.

Texans reportedly promoting Gaine to director of player personnel: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...e-brian-gaine/

Not sure what his new job description is, but the position has been open since they fired Brian Gardner a year ago. This should make him the #2 guy in the football side of the front office behind Smith and he'll apparently now have responsibilities in both both the draft and free agency.

Sounds like a promotion to keep him and perhaps have him as GM-in-waiting if Smith is ousted.
