Doesn't say much for the position coaches, one of which is Jethro Franklin, can't remember the other one.

It's Karmelowicz I think...although he's been re-designated as special assistnat for defense....or some other BS title. I've got plenty of questions on the position coaches, but mainly Hoke. It think there could be some issues with having two guys in charge of the defensive line, but I don't think Okam is evidence of bad position coaching...although there's plenty of other evidence. There's a reason Okam slipped....even at Texas, where I was a big fan, he would disappear for stretches or even whole games. DT in the NFL requires "man" strength, not weight room strength. It takes time.

Franklin and Bush have been the DL coaches.

My question for all of you is how long did it take Tommy Harris and Vince Wilfork to adjust to the NFL? And both of them where considered can't miss guys.

The one thing this team does not have with it's fan base is the one thing it needs, time to grow up.

That's right, and Karmelowicz was the DL coach in 2006 and is now special assistant to head coach....code for didn't want to have to fire him.

You could have included Haloti Ngati. I was very high on Willfork, and then Ngata, but the coaches weren't listening. Oh well. It's the Houston curse.
