Texans Intend to Hire Romeo Crennel as Defensive Coordinator

[HPF Bob]

The Chron also reports that O'Brien has hired away the Patriot's QB Coach and that O'Brien is going to be his own Offensive Coordinator (possible egotist alert).

Who is Belichick going to have left after we've finished raiding his coaching staff? McDiapers and who else?

Pepper Johnson joined the Bills as DL coach.

Maybe we'll get an official announcement about the staff by the time training camp opens....

Here's the official announcement.

It will be interesting to see how the defensive staff comes together, as the only two with NFL coaching experience are Crennel and Kollar and none of the assistants has coached for Crennel before (although Vrabel did play for him).
