McNair Press Conference
- Thread starter aj.
- Start date
Very brief comments by Capers.....turned it over to questions already
McClain is asking him about his future plans
He said he's going to sit back and survey the landscape and look for an opportunity where he can help...
He seems as upbeat as could be expected.
More coach speak that we are used to in terms of staying the course, blah blah...
Talked to the players this morning. Told them he appreciated their effort and the approach they took through a tough season. No one played the blame game...they were accountable and handled themselves professionally.
"hard to be a phony in this business"
On a player's comment about lacking confidence after Week 3... "you look toward your veteran leaders to help out the younger guys" "could confidence have been a factor, yes?
Can't keep up .... I'm sure there will be a transcript posted later...

"They wanted to go to San Diego and come out with a win." - EX Texans head coach Dom Capers.
That was the problem all year! He was gameplanning for the wrong team each week!

Thanks,,, I'm glad I'm getting back to work tomorrow. I'm having Casserly overload.
McNair talking now...
Strength coaches are all that's staying.
"We're very close to being a good team"
He looked at draft, trades, expansion draft, etc., and decided that the Texans (Casserly) made more good decisions than bad decision.

Go Texans!
Sounds sorta' like the "...we're addressing the o line and it'll be better" public relations line we heard during last offseason.
I am not buying anything these guys are selling.
I'll be like the show-me state (Missouri): You gotta' show me before I believe it.
Talk to me after the first 2006 game has concluded before you see me agreeing with what those guys say.

David Carr remeinds me of a Jake Plummer, minus the stupid INT's. I think in Kubiak's system we could be looking at a 20-25 TD, 10 INT season out of Carr and, depending on the draft, 1200 yds for DD, with either Wells, Morency or both adding 500.... hell ya!!!LCROD said:

Took the words right out of my mouth Marcus!! The moronic posts on this board today has made me sick! Some fans need to think about what they are saying before putting their thoughts out there for all the internet world to see. I'll leave it at that!

Casserly is staying for some unknown reason. He did say though that if the coach had personel experience that he might let him give his input on players and then it would be a final decision of the owner.
HoustonFrog said:
What I heard him say is that the current process is for Casserly to make draft day decisions - with input from the coaching staff.
What I also heard him say is that currently, trades and free agents are a collaborative effort between the GM and coaches.
I also heard him say that the process could be changed depending on the circumstances of the head coaching hire, i.e., if a head coach would want more power on draft day, that's certainly something that's negotiable during the interview according to what McNair said. Casserly may have saved his butt (or Reeves saved it for him) but it's apparent that he's still on notice and may have less power at the end of all this. It's McNair's decision on the head coach.

Some quick points:
1) Carr is presently the QB of choice and he needs some resources around him among those being a good coach.
2) As I have stated on many occasions Casserly has gone out and picked who the coaches wanted. He did not work in a vacumm.
3) I though his reference to a coach who has gone to the SB, which he said with a smile might point to someone like Chucky, Bellichk, or even may be a Dungy.
4) I found the interview to be very interesting and its obvious that Bob thinks well on his feet. He's articulate and handles questions with dignity.
5) I thought his statements that they will review the candidates and among the questions will be what schemes will they employ if they became the head coach. He seemed to indicate he will make the final decison based on Reeves and Casserlys input, but that the kinds of schemes would be a very important part of the decision process.
6) I hope I'm reading between the lines correctly that he also realizes that coaching is the key difference probably between a winning and loosing team in the NFL. The salary cap issue has put a premium on coaching all else being equal.
Once again, if any of you missed it go back and replay it in its entirity. You may get a different prospective, but I think very few owners would spend the time that McNair did with the public. He did an excellent job of doing so. My hat is off to him.

Yeah I heard that and posted that above right after I wrote that comment. It sounds like they are keeping him but with Depends diapers on where he has safety nets.
