    Hey if you guys are happy, I'm happy. Anyone know his offensive scheme? Power run vs zbs? More run oriented vs pass?

    I can't wait to find out about his staff. I am really hoping for a top shelf 3-4 defensive coordinator.

    Romeo, Ray Horton, Mike Zimmer...

    I hope we can pull someone with some heft. Coming to Houston should be dream for any DC. Talent to work with and a lot of job security.

    More power run, up tempo, pass oriented, likes two tight end sets, believes in adjusting offensive game plan to beat his opponent vs. running a scheme no matter who he plays.

    Interested to see how he will use Arian in that type of offense.

    Bill O'Brien is a Bill Cowher type, so everyone who has wanted them to hire Cowher in the past should be happy. He is fiery, demands accountability, gets in his players' faces, etc.

    I don't know if he'll succeed as a coach, but there won't be anymore of this "aw shucks y'all, battle fight to the end!" mentality.

    Love the hire! I really think he will make a big difference next season. Of course, whoever we take at #1 overall will make a big impact as well.

    Not a great fit, could be a trade possibility to be honest. I don't know if Arian is physical enough for his offense.

    Guy reminds me a lot of Bill Cowher, personality-wise.

    In the right scenario, I could see him sticking around for a Cowher-like tenure.


    Yes, forever the optimist.

    interesting indeed, considering his skill-set fits well with ZBS.

    I think Arian will be gone after the coming season. He has been run into the ground, has serious reoccurring health issues and has seen his YPC consistently drop.

    I think BOB will want Teddy. Seems like a great fit, he wants a thinking QB he can trust to execute the plan.
    (As Johnny scores, again)
