    Sherman is confused.

    So he passed up OC jobs with the Bills and Jets, but he's interested in coaching Gary Kubiak's OFFENSIVE LINE????????

    Ex-Packers coach Mike Sherman met Friday with Texans officials and is considering to become assistant head coach/offensive line.


    I made some comments about him not being humble enough to take our OC position and desire to stay a HC in a prior thread. Apparently humility is not an issue. I'm baffled.

    Maybe they are paying their OLine coach a fair salary for the job and he didn't feel we were. He's going to get his 3.2 million no matter what so I don't think that is a factor.

      I believe he'll have the title of Assistant Head Coach.

          Why were you planning on paying teachers to made rude remarks to kids and were going to for sale signs on his lawn?

            Maybe he felt that if he wasn't good enough to be our head coach why would he take the lesser job.

              I think this phrase (which I've heard from time to time,) "I don't want to date you, but we can still be friends" may fit the situation

                I get why he wouldn't want to be here. that's pretty obvious. but why wouldn't he rather coach the Jets offense than Houston's O-line?

                  lots of potential reasons

                  consider the sit

                  - prefers a hc job
                  - would also like the gm title
                  - has prev exp as both
                  - will get the same income no matter what he does

                  speculations why might he take a lesser job

                  - wants to be available for hc/gm job
                  - challenge of working with worst team and miserable line
                  - has personal connection with that team somehow
                  - has personal connection with that city somehow
                  - knows the gm job there might be avail soon
                  - knows somebody there has connection to another team whose gm job might be avail soon
                  - is getting asst hc title
                  - prearranged short term consulting role with rebuilding team ala lebeau

                  these are just off the top of my head

                  man what is up with all the waaa everybody hates us waaa were a horrible organization waaa were a bunch of losers god

                    Re: Sherman is confused.

                    After his last season in GB maybe hes looking for something guarnteed to gain some rep back in the NFL. He seems to be very cautious as to what job he takes and if thats the case its a shame because regardless of what happened in GB hes still a good coach. But personally I think if no HCing job is avaliable he should take a job as a coordinator and maybe in Houston where I believe this guy could really help there situation there.

                          Two reasons immediately come to mind: 1.) the Jets are noted for being the cheapest organization when it comes to paying coaches in the NFL--even cheaper than the Bills--while Houston owner McNair has tons of money and appears willing to spend it; 2.) if he has the Assistant Head Coach tag and is able to do anything to improve Houston's O-line, he will be a leading candidate for a HC job next year or the year after.

                          A third possibility is that he may know Kubiak, personally, and may be willing to take a seemingly lower position to work with him than he would with someone that he doesn't know.
                          Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. And, thus it was that they surrendered their freedom; not with a bang, but without even a whimper.
