ESPN.com reports that the Air Force Acadamy is relieving the Texans of their offensive coordinator. Finally some good news! Troy Calhoun will be replacing long time head coach Fisher Deberry at AFA. Hopefully, he'll take David Carr with him as offensive coordinator. Together, they could replace the triple option attack with a triple tight-end offensive scheme. This would allow a QB similar to Carr the ability to have 3 or 4 people to throw a pass to, as opposed to normal formations that eliminate up to three players by having them line up near the sideline and running more than 8 yards away from the line of scrimmage.
Speaking of the triple option: who hires a guy as offensive coordinator a guy who played college ball and coached in a triple option scheme? I guess that's why the Texans had the slot guy run a fake reverse behind Carr on every play. I just assumed he was there in case Carr fumbled when he got sacked once every 5 downs.
Well, I guess Calhoun as OC shouldn't be all that surprising. The guy who's the head coach is most notable for backing up John Elway and being the offensive coordinator for the Broncos. Doesn't Shanahan call most of the plays for the Broncos? Kubiak has only shown an arrogance that he can turn around a loser for a quarterback and use anyone for running back. And what's the deal with the Texans being Denver's 'B' team? Ron Dayne, the Texans' current backup quarterback, and there are probably others.
Whoever ends up as the Texans' offensive coordinator needs to do something to liven this offense. And that person needs to fight for someone different under center. Somebody who's been a winner as an individual and as part of a team. And I'd appreciate somebody who's name isn't Brady Quinn.
