Quote:Low. Hes already interviewed for the USC job, and USC will give it to him of he wants it. The Texans would have to reach hard to get him.


They might look at a defensively oriented HC though. Their last 2 hires were from the offensive side of the ball, and it hasnt worked out. Wouldnt be surprised to see McNair try and change it up.

 

I'd doubt McNair hires a defensive minded coach. Nobody does that anymore, well almost nobody <sigh>..., and the ones that do, you don't really see any real success. People will cite Pagano, but lets face it, without Andrew Luck, who is among the better QB prospects to come into the league in a long time, Pagano isn't winning in Indy....and to be honest, he still might not be even with Luck. Carroll is probably the only recent example....and he's a rare case as he's had plenty of head coach experience (and he hasn't done much in the playoffs, either)
