New OC - Rick Dennison

cland · #1 01-12-2010, 07:19 PM

Dennison has agreed to join the team. He was one of Kubiak's original targets when coming over in 2006. In my opinion he is a perfect candidate to keep the wheels rolling, and hopefully his OL experience can help re-craft the Texans' run game.

Hopefully we don't skip a beat!

Good hire.

With three O-line coaches on staff, and Dennison the OC, also with experience with the OL, I do not see the team adding another OL coach to replace Alex Gibbs.

Shanahan was OC and QBs coach, yet I've seen Dennison called only the OC and he's never been a QB coach. Does that mean a QB coach may also be hired? With Gibbs leaving, there's still one empty chair at the offensive coaches' conference table. They might also be able to use Gibbs' AHC title and $$$ to attract a more senior guy who wouldn't ordinarily take a non-OC position.

Interesting question, Warren. Kubiak can certainly fill those shoes himself if necessary.

Is this how we can get Musgrave from the Falcons? Call him the Assistant Head Coach/QB Coach. I hear Ken Anderson is available too.
