Sherman New Assistant Coach for Texans

Mike Sherman was announced yesterday as the new assistant coach for offense. According to the AP, he had turned down a similar offer by the Jets, but took this job because he is a fan of both new head coach Gary Kubiak and owner Bob McNair.

The details on what Sherman's exact role will be are still unknown, but both Kubiak and Sherman come from a long history of managing strong offenses. Kubiak worked 11 years with the Denver Broncos and Sherman is well known for his work as head coach of the Green Bay Packers.

The two men working together should create some solutions for the Texan's horrid offensive line and help improve David Carr's production. This pick up plus the likely draft pick up of Reggie Bush means that the Houston Texans are making some positive moves to at least a .500 season.
