Yes & no... I don't care for Easterby. But I don't know if firing him would be the best for this organization in the long term. Ownership just can't give this kind of power to the players. Texans, imo, are in a no win situation with this Easterby thing.
Best thing to do may be to build a wall around him, put him in a closet & promise the players (& follow through) he won't have influence on anything. Make him share an office with Vandemeer & Harris. Then part ways next year, or the year after.
I don't disagree with you, but they should never have given Watson the impression that his opinion mattered if they did not want him upset that he was left out of it.
I thought it was absolutely bush league when we were learning about the ad hoc group surrounding McNair included a current player on the roster, especially as it pertains to hiring a GM. I've never ever heard of such a thing, including the GOAT players.
Perhaps listen to him about a head coach, schemes, etc., but I doubt any current player has the qualifications to hire a front office executive running football operations. That was just stupid pandering on McNair's part, something Bob McNair never would have done (especially considering his rather contentious public views about owners vs. players).
That’s dumb. Houston is one of the most diverse and welcoming cities. Did you see us during Harvey? We welcome and help our neighbors.
That’s the media stirring the pot.
Or Easterby leading a religious crusade.
I agree completely. Religious philosophy should be completely irrelevant to the Xs & Os.
But, it appears that Jack has a righteous crusade that the owner believes in, and it's a cause that seems to serve much higher purposes than winning mere championships.
This, of course, is speculation, but it's the only thing that makes any sort of sense to me. Either that, or Cal is so freakin' stupid that he's got to remind himself to blink every once in a while (and I don't think he's an ignoramus, so it's got to be the other thing. . .you know, the thing).
