    and would he coach just wr's, or is there any chance he would take over ensminger's duties as te coach also, freeing up another offensive coaching spot?

    i do like the texas and louisiana ties for recruiting.

    Hmm...I could be wrong but the raiders weren't that good this year right? (too lazy to look at stats)

    Tight ends are offensive linemen first, receivers second at LSU.

    his bio:
    Oakland Raiders: Adam Henry

    --he coached Pro Bowl TE Zach Miller as Raiders TE coach, and Miller led the Raiders in receiving in two of the three years Henry coached TEs

    --he's from McNeese State in Lake Charles -- first as an all-conference WR in the early 90's, then he coached there for 10 years as WR coach, offensive coordinator, and asst head coach (he coached Jermaine Martin, the all-time leading receiver in McNeese history). so that's a whole decade of experience recruiting Louisiana and east Texas (he's from Beaumont, TX)

    --NFL experience: spent a few years with the Saints as a player (training camp, preseason, practice squad), served a coaching internship with Cleveland Browns, and has been with the Raiders since 2007

    here are some pics of him:

    Hope he is brushing up on his knowledge of the bubble screen.

    Edit--JK. Sorry if this came out too negative.

    The Golden Triangle (Beaumont/Port Arthur/Orange) in SE Texas used to be a hotbed for recruiting football talent. Will be interesting to see if we start getting highly recruited players from that area.
