Possible HC candidate: Bobby Slowik? (alien.top)

I know this is putting the cart way before the horse, and there’s still plenty of debate on whether Eberflus should still be employed. However, I was reading a thread in a different sub that was giving some praise to Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik and it made me wonder what kind of head coach candidate he would make.

He’s a young guy as far as head coaches go - just 36. Prior to taking control of the Texans’ offense, he got his start in coaching as a defensive assistant under Mike Shanahan in Washington. From there, he worked for Kyle Shanahan also as a defensive assistant until 2019, when he shifted to the offensive side.

We all know the Shanahan tree is SO HOT right now, so take that for what it is. He’s been around DeMeco Ryans, who is showing he knows how to build one hell of a culture, for a number of years. CJ Stroud’s ascension should have all teams with QB troubles foaming at the mouth as well.

Thoughts?

Shane Waldron probably has the most experience & he comes from McVays tree + worked with Pete. Gimme that all day.

anyone here remember when Bobby's dad was our DC under Wannstedt?

We had a good/decent Defense for a couple years at the very beginning, but like everything else about the Wannstedt regime, it all came falling apart.

Nope you don’t want him. He’s a horrible human being. He likes to use puppies as frisbees.

Lol, visiting Texans fan I assume?

I think you would have to at least interview him. He also used to work for PFF so you know you're getting someone that's into analytics. Which for me, is all the more reason to hire him.

Another fun fact. Bob Slowik, his father, was a DC for the Bears in the 90s.

Funfact: His dad was DC for in the 90s for the Bears. He also worked for the Packers.

He'd be a good hire, but the Bears will disappoint us all by hiring Dan Quinn
