In an effort to bring another perspective to the ongoing evaluation of his team over the final month of the season, and to perhaps lend insights into the direction for the future, Houston owner Bob McNair has hired former NFL coach Dan Reeves as a special consultant. Dan Reeves is joining the Texans as a consultant, two years after being fired as the Falcons' head coach.There had been whispers over the past week that McNair, whose franchise owns the NFL's worst record at 1-12, might seek input from an independent party. McNair made it clear that Reeves was not interviewing to be coach of the Texans, nor was he brought in to critique coach Dom Capers or general manager Charley Casserly.
