[Sports Arsenal]

Its good to see him back involved with professional football. Even better that its here in Houston

Hall of Fame offensive lineman Bruce Matthews has returned to the NFL, joining the Texans’ coaching staff as an offensive assistant. Matthews settled into the new position on Monday and spoke with Texans’ TV’s Brooke Bentley about his expectations for the season.

Brooke Bentley (Texans TV): You’re a Hall of Famer. You’ve been to 14 Pro Bowls. Now, you are joining the Texans as a coach. What made you decide to get into coaching?

Bruce Matthews: I think it’s something I’ve always had a passion for. I’m very close with Mike Munchak with the Tennessee Titans (offensive line coach). I really felt like I got a good introduction to what it’s all about. We have been blessed with seven children. Really, it’s gotten to the point where I think it’s the right time for my family. The passion has always been there, so I’m very excited for the opportunity.
