I'm personally not high on any of the known candidates. Flores might make the most sense among a VERY VERY poor crop.
He has the NE/NC/JC...I mean JE connection. He is by far the most experienced. He did pretty well all in all considering the talent level in Miami, and he's an asshole. Oh ya that's the part I don't like - sorry. He's basically another BOB, although MAYBE a better version. It's difficult to know until he gets here and we get more coverage of the day-to-day, but from what I've heard out of Miami, he's another guy that rubs people that wrong way, stubborn, me first attitude, surly kind of guy. And for me, he's still probably the best choice out of the 3 or 4 top candidates.
That's not an outright endorsement, but we don't have a decent candidate. I'm torn between Gannon and Flores but Flores wins on experience and his NE ties. If NC/JE are going down - let them go down on NE south so we can purge this crap from Houston once and for all.
O'Connell? I mean he didn't call plays or really coordinate anything. He also has an excellent oline, and very good skill position players at his disposal. I could probably draw up an offense using that group of talent. We don't know if he can actually build something from scratch. That said...he is light years ahead of McCown and he isn't a completely unreasonable choice.
It's honestly embarrassing to be part of a fan base that accepts nonsense like McClown. Come on folks. I know the bar is low. But there isn't a cirque du soleil performer limber enough to get under the bar some of you are setting. It's really embarrassing to even read some of these comments. Demand better folks. If we aren't getting filet mignon can we at least ask for a chopped steak. Some of you seem to be happy with dumpster diving for the scraps the rats won't eat. Outright embarrassing.
