Wes Welker hired by Texans

[GrogansArmy]

Just heard on NFL network - Houston Texans hired Wes Welker as an Offensive and Special Teams assistant.

I always liked Wes and I'm glad he got a gig in the NFL.

Of course the Texans hired an ex patriot!

Foreal though, that is great for Wes.

Patriots South 1.1 continues to incubate (I think the Falcons would be 1.0 maybe?).

Yep, good for Wes. I hated his guts with that hit on Talib, but I'm over it now...probably because I regard Talib as a schmuck now.

Kinda weird how Talib was kind of fragile in NE and then goes to Denver and he turns into a tough, durable player.

didnt he went to TT(tx tech)? so hes coming home

When I saw the headline I thought he was being brought in as a player, one concussion from...
Glad to see him on the sideline, I'm sure he'll be great & NE South.
Somehow I'm surprised Vrabel isn't coaching here.

He did go to Texas tech but Lubbock is on the other side of the state from Houston, a good 500+ miles away And he grew up in oklahoma

Congrats to Wes. I hope that works out well for him.

I think something was up with our team's conditioning program back then. Lot of injuries 2010-2013.

So now he's officially retired as a player. How long before he is added to the Pats HOF?

 

[patsfan13]

Hope this works out well for Wes, glad e is officially retired and not at risk for further concussions.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Hope that a job like this indicates no signs of early CTE problems. Best wishes to Wes!

Nice that he got a gig back in the league. I hope he enjoys it and sticks with it. Glad he gave up on playing too. Houston should be a strong contender in the AFCS for a lot of years. I eagerly await Mike Vrabel's arrival as DC when Patricia gets his HCing job in a few years.

Vrabel's name has already been making the rounds as a head coaching candidate and he just got promoted to DC for Houston so the chances of him coming to NE as a DC seems pretty slim. Unless he gets fired.

its probably why Moses Cabrera is the Strength and Conditioning coach now and not Harold Nash.

never if you ask some fans but I'd say within the next five years easily

Romeo is still the DC of the Texans.

Houston Texans promote Mike Vrabel to defensive coordinator

I stand corrected.

Not really. He was playing for a contract. He could have very easily come back into that game but didn't want to risk big money on his next deal by getting legitimately injured.
