So through John McClain and other local media, Texans fans have been told that the organization is going back to the "traditional" GM-in-charge model of running football operations. McClain has very pointedly and specifically stated many times on air and in writings that Cal was going to hire a GM, and then that GM would be empowered to select/hire his Head Coach choice. And the GM would have the power/control over the roster. Right?
Right.
But then this December 30 tweet from McClain:
John McClain @McClain_on_NFL Dec 30, 2020
Texans won’t be hiring a college head coach, if anyone’s wondering.
Tell me, then, how McClain or
anybody in the Texans organization can at this time know that they won't be considering any college coaches for the Head Coach position when
they just told us the newly hired GM would be in charge of selecting/hiring his own head coach and they haven't even interviewed their next GM, yet? How could they know if they haven't even talked to the guy they say is making the hire? Clairvoyance? Doubtful.
Perhaps the HC decision was made many months ago by Cal-boy & Co., and the
Korn Ferry stuff and the so-called committee are all just a bunch of window dressing to give the appearance a thorough search was made by many highly qualified people -- instead of the owner's son.
Are they lying now, or were they lying then?
