Houston Texans Hire Former Cowboys Coach Wade Phillips

It didn’t take long for Wade Phillips to recover from his failure as the Dallas Cowboys head coach. The AFC South’s Houston Texans hired Phillips today to become the team’s third defensive coordinator under current head coach Gary Kubiak. The Texans, like the Cowboys, had an atrocious secondary and defense. They will be praying for a miracle that Phillips will be able to do in Houston what he couldn’t in Dallas.

An interesting thing to follow with the hiring of Phillips will be the defensive scheme of the Texans. They have primarily been a 4-3 team and Phillips has made his name with the 3-4 defense. Houston has the talent to play the 4-3, so a change in scheme would require a drastic overhaul on the roster. Best of luck on that one.

Houston, he’s now your problem.

Andre Johnson – Cortland Finnegan Fight Video

While the Dallas Cowboys were not on the field Sunday, there was plenty of action in Texas to go around. When the Tennessee Titans traveled to Houston to face off against the Texans, a one-sided game broke out as did a fight. Midway through the fourth quarter Texans receiver Andre Johnson and Titans corner Cortland Finnegan got into a fight in the middle of the field. Both players had their helmets thrown off and Johnson connected two solid hooks and an uppercut on Finnegan. The two were ejected from the game.

Fines are likely coming for both players, but I don’t see any suspensions necessary. Video of the incident available after the jump!
