Texans Hire Bills' Kollar as DL Coach

[Bigtinylittle]

I wonder what the over/under is on the Texans having 37 1/2 sacks in any year of Kollar's stay here?

Depends on if they stay stubborn and keep Weaver as the starter or not.

I would really hope that Weaver has played his last down for the Texans. Of course that is only my fervent wish.

I like want I'm reading so far -- from his bio on the Bills' official site:

Continues to stress ball pursuit and a penetrating pass-rushing style for the Bills’ defensive line...

Kollar will also have the title of assistant head coach.

No clear Denver connection, but he was the DL/ST coach at Purdue in 1988-89. Rick Smith (and Jeff Zgonina) played for the Boilermakers during that time.

That's almost one of those 6 degrees of separation things.

So far the coaching changes sound good. wonder who the strngth and conditioning coaches will be?

I'm waiting to see who Richard Justice wants. I think he has approval rights.

Good catch, that appears to be the connection. And I agree with you, I loved that part of his bio.

How many assistant head coaches do we need? Gibbs, assuming he comes back, had that title didn't he? Are the D and O going to have assistant head coaches along with coordinators? The coaching staff chart must look like a mess.

IMO....It is a way that McNair can open the checkbook just a little wider and not break the unwritten rules/guidelines for the pay scales for assistant coaches. It is purely semantics, as they all do it, and that extra little title keeps the other "assistant" coaches from getting pissy.

Remember too that the Bills were reluctant to let him go too. The Texans maybe had to sweeten the pot a little.

I'm thinking you'll get that wish because Kollar wants a light speed rusher.
