Familiarity with Kubiak and his system is just icing on the cake.

If we could just plug in anybody, then why not Ray Brown of the Bufalo Bills? Perhaps Sean Kugler, since they are both out of a job. The Bills averaged 4.4 yards per carry (8th) while the Texans got 3.5 ypc (30th). The Bills also had a few rookies playing this season; Andy Levitre, Jamon Meredith, and Eric Wood. The Vets like Incognito and Scott have 5 and 3 years in the league.

Taking a look at the combined starts for the Texans OL this season = 157
Then turn around and see just how inexperienced the Bills were = 91.

These coaches got more with less.
Fred Jackson : 237 carries 1062 yards 4.5 ypc
Steve Slaton : 131 carries 437 yards 3.3 ypc

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.
