As far as I can tell the Joseph rumor is coming from some random guy on Twitter.

Re: New Texans coach Bill O’Brien began clearing the way for his first staff Saturday when he fired eight assistants, including defensive coordinator Wade Phillips and offensive coordinator Rick Dennison.
On his second day at work, O’Brien fired position coaches Karl Dorrell (quarterbacks), Chick Harris (running backs), Brian Pariani (tight ends), Larry Kirksey (receivers), Reggie Herring (linebackers) and Vance Joseph (defensive backs).

Just sayin': It may not be "from some random guy", it might be his agent trying to create some interest to get him a new job.

:rofl:

Agree make him the highest paid DC in college plus tell him this isn't the NFL were it seems like every 3 or so years he is looking for a new job cuz the HC is canned. You make this D play well you can be here till you retire with Urban.

well, meatchicken college certainly opened up their checkbook for a new OC so I do not see why we cannot open ours for a new DC.

Actually a valid question. There's a limit as to how many recruiters you can have, but is there a limit to how many coaches you can have?

Vrabel left on his own. Let's not forget he and BOB were both in New England for a couple of years.

This give Meyer the flexibility he needs to swing for the fences with this DC hire...arguably his most important hire to date.

Thinking this as well. Now your DC hire can literally be a primary DL, LB (fickell can move back to DL), or secondary coach. Not constrained to just secondary.

The guy at Florida, Durkin looks like a perfect fit. Coached LBers and DEs. Coached with Urban.
But you still need a defensive backs coach. Maybe someone like Vance Joseph, recently released with the coaching change at the NFL Texans, would be interesting.
