* HOUSTON* – Texans Head Coach Gary Kubiak has named Frank Bush as senior defensive assistant, it was announced today.

Entering his 23rd season in the NFL, Bush got his start with the Houston Oilers working as a college scout from 1987-92. He moved to linebackers coach from 1992-94. He served as linebackers coach from 1995-99, nickel package/secondary coach in 2000 and special teams coach from 2001-03 with the Denver Broncos. During his coaching career, Bush won back-to-back Super Bowls with the Broncos in 1997-98.
Bush, who played linebacker, was selected by the Houston Oilers in the fifth round in 1985. He was named to the all-rookie team after making 99 tackles, three sacks and recovering three fumbles. He suffered a career-ending injury in 1986 before beginning his career as a scout in 1987.
