Texans hire defensive backs coach

[Roy P]

I hate being a complainer without bringing a list of alternatives....

I'm not quite sure if there was a sense of urgency to fill the Defensive Backs Coach before the SuperBowl, because there are some good coaches at Pitt, GB, and NYJ.

Ray Horton - Pitt
Darren Perry - GB
Joe Whitt Jr. - GB
Dennis Thurman - NYJ
Jim O'neil - NYJ

So, if we couldn't wait to have a guy come into the building to start brainstorming with Wade, then here are the coaches I'd have wanted to bring into the fold....

Steven Wilks - SD
Cris Dishman - SD
Dennis Allen - NO
Tony Oden - NO
Jimmy Lake - TB
Ron Meeks - Car
Joe Woods - Min
Matt Sheldon - Min

OK, that's all I wanted to get off my chest. I target those teams after looking at some various statistics such as Passer Rating, Passing Yards, Big plays over 20 yards and 40 yards, Sacks, Rushing Yards per game and per carry, Interceptions, and Passing TDs. Using those metrics, I surmised that the best Secondary performances were posted by these teams and I then examined their coaches....

1. SD
2. NO
3. Pitt
4. TB
5. Car
6. GB
7. Minn
8. NYJ

Cris Dishman or Tony Oden would have probably been the 'easiest' to get to run our Secondary and been able to create the most impact. Yet, we got San Francisco's Vance Joseph.
