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

To be clear up front, I do not want McCown to be the next HC of the Texans.
But I gotta be honest. If they give him the job, I'm extremely interested in how it will work out.
This is either monumental stupidity or genius on a level that I am not complex enough to discern much less comprehend

"McCown has told the team he’s all-in." - That makes one HC candidate that is.

This is the thing that concerns me. If only one coach says he is in, and another existing coach looking for a first time promotion is going to interview elsewhere.

This doesn’t look good.

Especially if hiring this guy gets you the promotion you want.

Maybe it is because Pep is more qualified to be head coach that McCown and doesn’t want to coach under someone who hasn’t put in the time.

If I was Pep I would be asking for an interview.

Or Lovie for that matter. But Lovie is here to get his son experience. At least that’s what I think.
 
Daboll off the board to the Giants. Solid hire despite the NE cancer background.

Think we're waiting for O'Connell or McDaniel/Ryans. It'd be hilarious if we're waiting for Bienemy considering we could have had him last year.
 
McCown absolutely loves the Shanahan offense, says it is by far the best O to run. How will that work with the De Facto coaches. My guess is the File Clerk and the Preacher Man reason that McCown has also been in the Perkins-Erhardt offense so he can coach that too.

And that’s neato, but I was hoping he could actually coach it professionally as an OC or even in college before just up and doing it as am NFL HC.

At this point, who do you think it’ll be?
If it’s McClown, I’m going to start sounding a whole lot more like you real quick.

Well, McClown was back in the Kirby boardroom for his 3rd interview today. You tell me....he does check some of the boxes to lead his flock and congregation on Sundays.

Did he say that?

Then I'm totally on board with McCown.

An interesting thought…

How many owners would fall over themselves to hire Peyton Manning upon retiring despite no coaching experience? Is it that much different?

Especially considering backup or merely “good” players are much better coaches than “stars” on average.

Think: Mike Singletary vs Jim Harbaugh

You could say that about every decision ever made. If it works out, it doesn’t make it a genius decision. Dumb luck would be more like it. Going for it at your own 35 and getting the 1st down is still a stupid ass decision.

You’re going against tremendous odds bringing in someone who’s never done coaching, never been through the grind of being a coach, turned down the chance to get the experience of that grind last year, and you’re giving him the top coaching position there is. That’s a stupid decision any way you look at it.

Sure, you could name a hundred names more qualified that fail, but that right there should tell you how hard it is to make it work.

In his 1st 2 years as GM, Caserio will have grabbed a nobody who’s never climb the ladder of being more than a position coach for 27 years, and now a guy who has absolutely zero coaching experience whatsoever. One thing is for sure, Caserio is definitely going to make a name for himself.

Oh, and that guy with 27 years experience? Look how in over his head he was.

This organization is beyond laughingstock anymore. They’re a ******* embarrassment.

*- all this assuming McCown is hired BTW
 
As far as we know, Gannon has not yet had a second interview scheduled. But NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that this will not be the Texans only second interview. So maybe Gannon’s chance is coming.

There are seven known candidates for the Texans job. In addition to Gannon and McCown, the Texans also interviewed Brian Flores, Joe Lombardi, Jerod Mayo, Kevin O’Connell and Hines Ward.

I think they were discussing Ryan Fitzpatrick, whose Wonderlic score was 48. But, 30 is a good score for McCown.

I got a 30. LOL. Beat that bastard Rosen by one.
And yes, I was joking about Fitmagic. He went to Dartmouth or Cornell? 48 sounds more like it.

Of those, who’s your choice?
Does anyone here have a favorite?

That's because you are looking at this decision though the eyes of a fan. You expect the Texans to select a coach based upon who would be the best to lead an organization that prioritizes competing for championships. That is not the #1 goal for the Houston Texans. Josh McCown is easily the best choice possible for what they are trying to achieve.
 
Just to backtrack a little to an earlier discussion............Jamey Rootes wanted to resign from the Texans after the G.M. search resulted in the work of the search committee (on which he served) being ignored. He was persuaded to wait in order to keep the perception of organizational dysfunction from becoming even more pronounced.

Remind me again what they are trying to achieve?

Well, yeah, when you put it that way, taking everything football out of the equation, then maybe it's not so stupid.

So the next question, when does everyone think the NFL will award an NFL franchise to Houston, TX?

I give you an A for effort. However, stop trying to rationalize or normalize this WTF move. How many years did Mike Singletary and Jim Harbaugh coached before becoming HCs? Do you think anyone consider them as HC candidates upon retiring? Also, regardless of offers, I doubt upon retiring, Manning would consider any HC offers.

My sides are hurting from hearing and reading the pretzel logic for making McCown the Texans HC.
