Posting this here. Wade is lobbying hard for the Texans job. Looks as if the Texans have no interest in Shanahan or Gruden, with top candidates being Wade Phillips, Ken Whisenhunt, and Lovie Smith.


In my oppinion, Lovie would be a mistake, as they would have to completely overhaul the defense, something Bob McNair says he thinks is unnecessary. Whisenhunt is their guy I think.

 

If they hired Lovie Smith, they wouldn't have to "completely overhaul" the defense as they're only two years removed from playing in a 4-3.  J.J. Watt can play every position along the D line and Cushing already is the signal caller on defense, so playing MLBer will be no problem.

 

I also highly doubt they hire Whisenhunt. They want Bill O'Brien and David Shaw more.
