Perhaps Dennison isn't quite as 'glass half empty' and sees a team on the rise, a coach that has completed it's first winning season and was a QB injury (Frye) away from the playoffs. And if you're going to get an OC job...starting with the #1 passing offense isn't a bad way to go.

As of late Monday afternoon, nothing was finalized in terms of Dennison joining the Texans' coaching staff.

"He's going to be leaving here today with a chance to sit down and talk to his wife about our situation, and hopefully we'll have an answer here within the next 24-48 hours," Kubiak said



So, I'm assuming he's been given the offer. Now it just comes down to whether or not he accepts.

Yepper, from the Chronic:

"He and Shannon went home to talk about it with the rest of the family. Rick's been in Denver a long, long time, and he's got a lot to think about. He went home with a contract in his hands."

IMO - This is a done deal. Kubes got "his" man, someone he trusts, someone that knows the system and won't come in and jack with a good thing. While I know some groan the Denver pipeline, Kube's ass is on the line this year, and he knows it. He is going to try to surround himself with people he trusts can do the job, cause if they jack it up, he is toast and back to a co-ordinator spot, or A&M.........

FYI the "Denver pipeline" is now nonexistent, but it's been replaced with the "Washington pipeline".

Dennison would be a good fit. Hope he and his wife could be happy in tropical 'Ol Houston. But the world won't end if they can't tear themselves away from their winter wonderland.

Thanks! He's got the genes.... It will be interesting to see if someone selects him based on upside...

Well that didn't last long....The Steelers jumped up.

The Steelers agreed to terms with Sean Kugler to become their offensive line coach, according to a league source.

Kugler was part of a Bills staff that has been allowed to interview for other jobs while the team searches for a new head coach. Pittsburgh, which had issues protecting the quarterback in recent years, fired offensive line coach Larry Zierlein after the season.
