Head Coach Candidate (Lovie Smith Hired) 2/7/22

[Texansballer74]

This is what I would've done. But I think Culley's wanting Kelly as OC laed to his firing.

Highly doubt it. He was just a one year plan.

 

[steelbtexan]

I know this was meant to be satirical, but I think your actually pretty close to the truth. Caserio has already shown he wants to be involved in all phases of the organization - including X/O's. I believe that's why he chooses to interview HC candidates he believes he can manipulate to his will and that will tolerate his meddling.

When you say manipulate, do you mean on the same page as in regards to personnel and philosophies? I dont think we've ever seen that down on Kirby, it's about time for a change.

 

[steelbtexan]

I don't really think it's about being manipulative.

Caserio has a unique background as a player & a coach. He's been involved with game management as well as scouting. He's not just a GM. He believes he has valuable insights into the game. Just like he & Romeo were saying they should let the Patriots score, they didn't force Culley's hand.

Again, I don't believe the point is to manipulate, but provide valuable insight.

Gannon also has this same background.

Dumb….basic questions

Just “chill”, bro.
You’ll get through this.

You conveniently forgot that they interviewed Flores twice.

The post I replied to did not mention Flores.

 

[IDEXAN]

It's interesting to note that Flores still considers himself a candidate for the Houston and New Orleans HC openings.

Yea me too I was fine with Culley for the time being.

I have been told we will have a coach within 24 hours…

Johnathan Gannon confirmation?

 

[Texazan]

"porn and pancakes"? Did I hear that right? WTF

 

[austins23]

Can I throw my hat into the ring?

What will you do about the culture? Lol

How bout interviewing Ken Dorsey?
Again, if McClown is somehow qualified, I just don’t get how Dorsey isn’t.

Thought I saw somewhere Dorsey got hired on with someone. Buffalo I think. OC I think.

I like this - vetting staffing plans. I still think earlier in the week it was not a done deal for Gannon. Maybe this evening it is and we'll know tomorrow. I'm good with either.

I'll never look at whipped cream on pancakes the same again.

Damn you! Now I won’t either

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

So what I'm hearing, Jack wants McCown and Nick prefers Gannon but has an issue with some of his suggested coaching moves.

The problem? Cal has a vote.

Imagine how much quicker the Texans would have made the playoffs if someone told Kubiak he couldn’t hire his buddies as DC to start his career as Texans HC?

Get rid of the ******* and wooses first...

Impossible to imagine a world anywhere else where Jack would have this much input about a profoundly basic football choice

 

[banned1976]

You know what is tiresome? Your complaining about other posters complaining. You are going defend any action this organization does. Be it O'Brien, Culley, Caserio, it doesn't matter. If it comes down from NRG, it's all good.

The Texans have announced Satan will be their new Head Coach.

Damn good hire! Sure, he doesn't have any coaching experience, but he's been the leader of hell for over 6,000 years, and if he can motivate Eve to eat that apple he can motivate an NFL staff of coaches and players.

Cal needs to support his GM. Or just get rid of him and he and Easterby can run the show

But it appears the GM is undecided and having issues with his preferred candidate.

and then there's the "XXX Church" that he mentioned. WTH is going on with those people? All of it just reeks of wierdness

And this is the reason we have a problem with Easterby being around. He shouldn’t even have a say in the matter. Let alone an equal voice to the GM. It’s ridiculous.

jack? Jack who? Only Jack I know is the one who steelb says is just a culture coach and doesn’t get involved otherwise.

If this is accurate. Could one of the posters who think Easterby's influence is overstated and exaggerated by fans or he has no influence explain this?

 

[Thorn]

Damn good hire! Sure, he doesn't have any coaching experience, but he's been the leader of hell for over 6,000 years, and if he can motivate Eve to eat that apple he can motivate an NFL staff of coaches and players.

The office of Damien Thorn would like to release this statement:

We have not been approached by the Texans so we don't know where this misinformation is coming from. However, Easterby would be a problem if such a discussion should occur. We would gladly incinerate him, but as you have seen in Mr. Thorn's various netflix TV shows, meddling in human affairs always leads to more issues.

 

[Jack Burton]

What will you do about the culture? Lol

Yes, BUF promoted him. He’s very highly thought of in coaching circles. Might have been a good guy to interview

 

[michaelm]

Doesn't sound like the GM is undecided. Sounds to me like he knows he wants Gannon but has some staff details to work out.
I could be mistaken

 

[Earl34]

Exactly. What if Cal compromises by siding with Caserio but to appease Jack, he hires McCown as OC or QB coach? Let the dysfunction continue. I wonder if Josh McDaniel spoke with BOB before accepting the Raiders' job.

 

[Number19]

If this is accurate. Could one of the posters who think Easterby's influence is overstated and exaggerated by fans or he has no influence explain this?

Yes, easy. Easterby has input. Has anyone disputed this? The disagreement would be about how much influence he has. Caserio makes the final decision after consultation with the McNairs. Cal breaks ties. This has been my understanding for weeks. Now there are those who believe the conspiracy theory that Easterby has undue influence over the McNairs.

Dammit Cal, you hired Caserio to run your football opps. Let him do his job.

This doesn’t make any darn sense. Why does he even have a voice in the matter. If true!

Like I said earlier, this organization does crap butt backwards. Dude is not qualified to make a decision like that and McCown isn’t qualified either.

Cal and Momma McNair are wrong for not learning from their previous mistakes.

 

[Number19]

Well the exact words were: "... has an issue with some of his suggested coaching moves".

The narrative on this board is that Caserio wants to control the team. So what are his choices? He gives in to Gannon? Or he forces Gannon to give in and accept top down control. If both refuse to give in to the other, then what other choice does Caserio have?

Jesus Effin Christ! And here I was in a great mood thinking the Gannon signing was in the bag. I guess I should have known better.

Friends over there power struggling. What are the responsibilities of a GM again? The Texans brass seems to have it confused lol

As I see it,, the problem is not the difference between Caserio and Easterby, but rather between Caserio and Gannon. This is where the McNairs, Cal particularly, decides.

 

[Earl34]

Yes, easy. Easterby has input. Has anyone disputed this? The disagreement would be about how much influence he has. Caserio makes the final decision after consultation with the McNairs. Cal breaks ties. This has been my understanding for weeks. Now there are those who believe the conspiracy theory that Easterby has undue influence over the McNairs.

So, in your opinion that's normal for the VP of football ops who is supposedly not involved in football matters to be creating a tie breaking situation for Cal?

So, McCown checks all the boxes and Gannon does not, wants a voice in his coaching staff. And then there is Janice. Things that make you hhhmmmm. Wants to move on from Romeo and Lovie? Inquiring minds want to know. What we know is Jack does have Cal's ear.
