Pasqualoni will replace Bill Kollar, who left the Texans two days ago to join Gary Kubiak's staff in Denver. Bears fans didn't seem particularly enamored with Pasqualoni during his short time as Chicago's defensive line coach last year, but J.J. Watt just might be able to make his new position coach look better in Houston than he did in Chicago.
Your reaction to the Texans bringing the longtime head coach of the Syracuse Orangemen (seriously, Pasqualoni was there forever) aboard?
