Trentwannabe Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Since we have a HC and DC thread.... As a fan of a team who may lose their OC to a HC gig, I am curious to see who other fans believe will be the top OC candidates or potentially under the radar guys.

ET80 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 The Texans coaching staff is going to be fired into the sun this off-season, but... QB coach TJ Yates has done a phenomenal job on pushing Deshaun Watson to the next level in his development. I don't think he's ready for an OC role, but I think he's one more year of working at a QB coach before getting that next OC job. He's a good OC in the making... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's done more for three AFC South teams than anyone in league history has ever done for just one team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know of any other AFC South team essentially trading away arguably the best WR in the game for pickles and a RB. Also, the AFC South division have been the worst in league for a very long time. Being the "best" is like being....well you fill in the blank.

He's exactly where he needs to be now - a coach. Good football IQ, but he lacked the physical skills. I'd ultimately like to see him stay, but the entire coaching staff in Houston is about to be firebombed, so that's not going to happen.

Is it weird that he was the QB on the Texans that got closest to the Texans being in a SB? If I remember correctly the Texans have advanced to the divisional round 3 times, and in that 2011 game against the Ravens it wasn't a blowout, but Yates couldn't step up. I still remember Arian Foster standing by himself on the sidelines when the game was out of reach.

I think that was the best Texans team in history - that defense was capable of carrying the load along with a healthy Arian Foster and Andre Johnson. It was the start of the JJ Watt show, Connor Barwin was exploiting the edge, Brian Cushing was producing exactly as you'd think an Overtrained Athlete would produce, Brooks Reed was a thing, Jonathan Joseph and Kareem Jackson were both playing at an incredible level... I'll always put that game on Jacoby Jones, who muffed a punt he had no business returning. Jones won his only SB with the Ravens, so it lines up - he was a double agent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to go back and watch that game again. It's been on my computer for years. I guess even if the Texans beat the Ravens, it's off to New England with Yates, and yeah... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW21 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I think either Mike LaFleur or Mike McDaniels goes with Saleh wherever he lands. I wouldn't be too terribly surprised to see the other one poached by someone as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
