Texas promote Bush to defensive coordinator

By Joe Zedalis

The Houston Texans announced Tuesday that senior defensive assistant Frank Bush was promoted to defensive coordinator, a development that follows Richard Smith being fired after the season.

Bush, 46, was the lone candidate to interview for the job after the Texans' request to interview Washington Redskins assistant Jerry Gray was denied last week. Texans beat writer John McClain referenced the league rule that states NFL teams are within their rights to deny permission for an assistant under contract unless the interview is for a head-coaching position.

McClain predicts that Kansas City Chiefs secondary coach David Gibbs, the son of assistant head coach/offense Alex Gibbs, could be hired as the new secondary coach. Gibbs interviewed for the job Monday.

    Hmmm.....All I know is we better start having a more aggressive minded defensive coordinator!!! The defense did a much better job at the end of the season but it was too little too late. I hate to see the defense siiting back and getting picked apart.

    You want Gibbs, you can have him! Just look what he did for us over the last two years, 6-26 isn't anything KC is proud of, and the majority of those losses were due to the defensive backs.
    Good luck, and good riddens!

    Please stop signing the over the hill defensive players that were good 10yrs ago and find some more leron landrys and carlos rogers. maybe hire some better scouts and ouit trading away the whole draft.

    from the looks of several games that the Texans lost, we need a knowledgable play caller. we gave away
    2 games that were won and why????
    We need Jimmy Johnson to coach the Texans, someone who know how to win.
    He probable wouldn't stoop to even consider coaching the Texans.
