Bud Adams Names Oilers Legend Mike Munchak Head Coach

by Tim on Feb 7, 2011 9:17 PM CST in News

As you have likely heard by now, Bud Adams replaced Jeff Fisher by promoting Mike Munchak to head coach today. Munchak is a Hall of Famer who, though he's coached the Tennessee offensive line for many years, retired a Houston Oiler, so Houston fans have a special reverence for Munchak that's not necessarily there for other minions of Bud Adams' Army of Darkness.

Your thoughts on the hire, BRB? Good for the Texans? Painful as a Houston fan? Totally irrelevant?

Irrelevant

The only part of me that cares is to see what Bruce Matthews does…given that he just signed a new contract but is BFFs with Munchak.

He's gone.

I can’t see any scenario where he doesn’t join Munchak in Methopotamia.

Sigh. Another relic of my dead fandom fully consumed by Bud Adam’s Army of Darkness.

Really?

I don’t see that happening. Matthews just turned down a gig elsewhere (I shall not say where) and has very little experience. Seems to me he likes where he is.

The only reason he might stay is because of family

I saw him out at his kids football game this year, so the fact he has young children might make him want to hang around here. If he’s serious about moving up the coaching ladder then going to a new team, working with a whole new set of coaches, is probably a decent career move, even if it is for a “lateral”.

I like Munchak

So it pisses me off that Beelzebud promoted him. I want my hatred of that team to be complete and total.

It makes me sad

to see Munchak still working for the devil. I have a signed jersey from both him and Bruce Matthews hanging in my room and was so happy when Matthews came to work for the Texans. I was really hoping that somehow Munchak would do the same when Fischer got fired.
