Jimmy was absorbed with his players. Not drill sergeant distant. He was the later "top" who exoects the best, rides you and gets the best out. Team 1st, what can you do for the team? There wasn't a man on that team that minded if Emmitt got the ball. Folks like to 'glory hound' Irvin. Ever hear him beotch about Emmitt's carries?

Aside, has an outside receiver ever gone across the middle like Irvin? Boy would take a hit.

They always name an interim.
Sure but this appears to be for appearance is only. They could have three to four interviews in the next 10 days and have a GM ready July 1st. As tight-lipped as this entire situation has been Texans management could have just went about business for a few days and then said here is our new general manager. Even less time if it's going to be Ric Smith. Of course I am probably overthinking the whole thing.

They're not even good at being cheap ass. They're about to be paying 3 general managers. Smith, Gaine, and whomever the new sacrificial lamb will be.
Maybe they will get the greatest GM ever on their next hire.

Dont worry Cletus has plenty of $$$$ to pay off those contracts and the team is in good hands, Positivity tour, step 1 gotta believe.

I'm on the positivity tour and they are going to hire the greatest GM ever to replace Gaine.
Let me guess, good times are ahead. Right up until they don’t sign/draft the guy you want. The it’s back to “cheap a$$ org/owners” and “permanent medioricty”

Think you’ll stick with the next GM longer than one day into F/A?

Maybe Gaine was being cheap and Cletus fired him for that.

With a new GM, he may spend some $$$$. Gotta stay positive.

But wait I thought the McNairs were “carpetbaggers” who “don’t care about championships just selling tickets” and were “cheap a$$ owners”. So now it was Gaine that wasn’t spending money and Cal didn’t like that.

Dear Lord man you could give politicians a run for their money on flip flopping and changing narrative to fit current views. It truly is impressive to see. Honestly I feel like I should be applauding.

O'Brien just needs to find someone new to blame every year and he'll be coach indefinitely.

I guess everyone is gonna blame Gaine when the OL sucks again

There's no flopping, I've just been told I need to be more positive so I'm trying to bring a little koolaid to each and every post. The McNair's actions over the last 17 yrs speak loud and clear for themselves.

This is Gaine's draft and FAs. This is crazy to fire him at this point.

Other than your narrative on who was responsible being wrong you should be doing backflips. By all appearances Gaine is getting canned for being too passive, not using the resources at his disposal.

Get over being wrong on who was the culprit and look at the signal. The McNairs are eating a huge sum of money to get someone more aggressive.

The abruptness of it all does make a person wonder what happened.

Could it be that maybe Cal didn't agree with Gaines house cleaning in the scouting dept?

:coffee:
Really doubt that's it. It was either off-field stuff... ( domestic violence maybe?) that hasn't come to light yet or he tried to naysay (or not keep Cal informed imo

Absolutely - Andre Johnson.

I'm not saying AJ wouldn't because he did when called. Fu@kin Capers wanted to use him as an outside RB. But Irvin was the pre-AJ. He played WR like a LB playing WR, "this is MY ball!!." Absolutely no care for consequence.

When AJ was drafted I said we just got a bigger faster Irvin.

Not endorsing his life but as a WR he was a hoss.

Pretty good in the remake of longest yard too.

I disagree I think he could have drafted Greedy Williams, Byron Murphy, Rock ya sin , Trayvon Mullen or Greg Little number 23 and still got Howard and Scharping in the second round. As no one took an offensive lineman from 55 to 86, Scharping taken there. So

1.23 CB Murphy, Sin, Mullen or Greedy all better than Lonnie J. Many would say Greg Little here better than Howard.
2.54 Titus Howard
2.55 RB,OLB or DE like Zac Allen?
3.86 Scharping

GMs supposed to have a good idea what the other 31 teams are going to draft. I think Gaines failed miserably.

Agree with everything except you leaving Josh Jacobs out. You know, the guy taken #24.

Obviously I liked him and we have no knowledge but owners like bell cow RBs. It's as good a theory as any other.

I listed Jacobs in my first quick research for that post and unfortunately left him off when I actually posted it but thoroughly agree with you. Either one of the Alabama running backs would have been great especially for number four.

I agree, though where Cak wanted Jacobs at 23 I wanted Marquise Brown. I know we are stacked on talent at the WR spot but they can’t stay healthy and I wouldn’t trust BoB to know what to do with a first round RB considering he keeps thinking Miller can be a power RB. Brown would have given us some insurance if/when one of our other WRs went down.

I fully agree we could have gotten Howard by trading up to early second. Cards didn’t seem to have a guy they were in love with at 33 so I think a deal could have been struck.

Brown himself has a history of serious lower leg injuries. Jacobs would've been fine with me.

I think running Miller up the middle had more to do with the oline than what kind of back BOB thought Miller was.

Over/under Miller v Jacobs this season?
Man that's a good one; so much we do not know can impact it for me especially concerning Miller. Healthy OLine with better play plus using Miller to his skill set could be crunching. As long as our top 3 WRs remain productive I see a 70-30 ish passing attack over run. Jacobs is extremely intriguing but as a receiving back, I've not seen enough. If Miller used a lot more as a target for Watson I probably go with him over all stats. If you are referring to rushing stats alone I go with Jacobs. However with a bit of tossing thoughts around I could easily change that.

I agree we likely could have gotten better value at our draft positions. However, how do you know that Gaine didn't know that some other teams had Titus Howard high on their board. No one could foresee the Eagles jumping up to take Dillard - unless you consulted Miss Cleo.

Nobody knows anything, if you want Dillard be aggressive and go get him. Before the draft you say if this guy falls to pick X I'm going to trade up and get him. Gaine didn't choose to operate this way and is now looking for a job. Or maybe Howard was the guy he wanted all along.

Cleo? No.. Philly's starting LT Jason Peters by game one will be staring at 38 yoa in his 13th season and on a one year extension. He was good with 69.5 rating but perfect timing to get Dillard. Of course other teams could have had Howard but as I posted most non Texans talk members had Greg Little higher than Howard. Taking him #23 as better option (of course it appear Texans liked H better) allows you to get a better than Lonnie Johnson corner and still get Scharping even if second round.

You know exactly what OB would do with a 1st round RB: up the middle for 2 yards. Every. Single. First Down.
