Thanks for your support!
Simply for drafting Stroud/WA/Tank, Scruggs.
So for one thing I absolutely want Nick to stay.
Doesn’t matter what it looked like. He did what he had to do to get all of those picks for the sexual predator while sogning scrubs to be stop gap coaches. Let me ask you this: would you rather him have held on to Lovie and keep starting Mills just because you’re worried about what others say/think about the franchise? Or, do you like what we now have and acknowledged that the man did a hell of a job given the circumstances?
Couldn't care less about Mills, said that a hundred times. DGAF what others think about this franchise. I thought it was dysfunctional & barely treading water.
I'm pretty sure drafting Stingley & Pitre had nothing to do with Lovie's preference. & when he fired Lovie I doubt DeMeco was on his mind. Things seem to have worked out, but more in a blind pig kind of way.
We already -are- a team others do not want to play.
That's not what I'm hearing when I watch the talking heads. They think Cj is a phenom & the reason for all our success. They do give DeMeco some credit too. But mainly Cj.
Agree completely.
This is what I’m hearing as well. Nothing but hype with plenty of love. The only ones doubting this team is a few of our fans and those hating ash Colts, Titans and Jaguars fans.
I don’t know brother. There’s a reason for Demeco knowing that he was going to be the Texans new HC before the 2022 season was even over with. The video of JJ. Watt, still dressed in in a Cardinals uniform, telling Demeco (while Demeco was the 49ers DC) to “Go Make Houston Great” and Demeco replying “I will” while Lovie was still the Texans HC clearly proves that Nick thought about Demeco as the next HC WAAAY before they even fired Lovie Smith. Hell, I’m almost sure the plan was in motion the day they fired Culley and hired Lovie Smith.
He was lucky he got Stroud.
I wonder if we beat the Ravens as badly as we did the Clowns, will it then be enough for Vegas to see the Texans in a different light? Now, I’m loving the oddsmaker keeping us underdogs in almost every game. I placed a $2,500 bet on the Texans against the Steelers and gained $3,250 I believe in profit or somewhere in that neighborhood. Then, I placed a $2,500 bet on the Texans when they played the Saints and I got around $2,750 in profit.
It wasn't up to Culley as to whether or not Kelly was fired. Culley didn't even hire Kelly. Culley was fired because he wasn't a good head coach. That was obvious to everyone.
I’m not an extreme gambler, as you see $2,500 is the most I’m willing to put on the line. By the way, I usually get anywhere from $5k up to $10k bonuses every quarter. That’s my vice (bourbon bottle collecting, weed, guns, betting) money, lol. If I didn’t get that $100-$200 of my hard earned cash would probably be my limit as well.
It's bettors that eventually set the line. Vegas puts out its best guess to have equal amounts on both sides.
Cully was dead man walking at that presser. Nick and our old buddy Jack had already met with Cal about that. Cully was supposed to be a players coach and all he did was divide the locker room. Clock management, situational football. The guy refused a penalty and punted. Totally out of his element.
I think when Ryans accepted the interview, the Texans moved him to the top of the list. Ryans had refused to interview with the Vikings the year prior in 2022 and the Colts and Panthers in 2023. It was a good sign that Ryans accepted and an even better sign when he told Cal, Hannah, and Nick the Texans job was his #1 priority and let's make it happen.
He coached Watson in a Pro Bowl, once. And they were desperate to please Watson and get someone the opposite of O'Brien. All of this was before the lawsuits.
It was a PR move and an attempt to keep that clown boy. Plus they really didn’t have anybody else because no one wanted this job.
This. JJ's interaction with DeMeco last season confirms it: https://www.si.com/nfl/2024/01/14/jj-watt-demeco-ryans-request-texans-playoff-win-browns
No. It does not confirm anything other than Jj thought Demeco would be an excellent HC one day.
Because DeMeco had chosen to go the coaching route & appeared to be on an upward trajectory.
Even as a fan there was a part of me that knew DeMeco would be the next HC. I think most had that feeling. So JJ and DeMeco both being high profile former Texans probably had a little inside scoop.
I understand the excitement but this goes beyond reality. May as well say Cj told Nick to draft Tank.
He actually did.
That myth has already been debunked
Yeah this is a huge offseason for Nick. There's a lot of opportunity there with potential free agency $ (Although I think the vast majority will be used re-signing guys) and a deep draft. As an entire team they need to take the exact same approach they did last season. Draft ready made players and have the expectation that they'll be difference makers early and be clever in free agency - there will be more opportunity there as we're a far more attractive option for free agents than we were last year.
Some posters have issues admitting they're wrong. TK never liked Caserio and is unwilling to eat crow.
As long as the ol coach stays I will be happy.
