Agreed, hopefully Caserio is allowed to hire his guy and isn't forced into making a hire because of a lawsuit or his QB. I'm pretty confident that will be the last time that happens in a long while. Taking out the trash is a hard but necessary step when the time comes.
You don't think the rebuild hasn't launched? Lmao
That was a stupid reason then, and now.
Lame excuses like, "Has zero coaching experience"?
Well, mother knows best.
My concern is some of those guys will be out of the NFL before the Texans next playoff team.
You're being very generous. I'd say half of those guys would be on the Texans next playoff team.
You actually think that Lovie Smith was hired because of his football skills?
I'm pretty confident that if the Texans fire Smith after one season, there's zero chance they get someone other than a reclamation project (like Smith) or someone that has little or no credentials (like McCown). This is the worst HC job in the NFL. I don't know whom you think "Caserio's guy" is. But Nick needs to really lower that bar if they intent to fire another HC this offseason.
You do realize this farce has nothing to do with Caserio. Lovie will be back for next season regardless of record.
It had something to do with Caserio. He allowed Jack to trot in McCown like a prized pig at the fair not once, but twice. He couldn't close the deal on the few legit candidates he brought in (McConnell and Gannon). Caserio had some leverage has a GM with a 6 year contract. Sorry, but Nicky is not blameless in this farce.
I do believe Lovie will be back next season. It would be bad optics to fire black coaches in back to back years, whether deserving or not. However, if the Defense doesn't improve, Caserio might force Lovie to step down as DC, and hire another DC. I don't see that happening either, but I find it more likely than Lovie being fired as HC. Although, there is also a 3rd option. Move Lovie up to the position Romeo held, and then hire a new HC, DC, and OC.
Cal and Janice made that call as to who THEY wanted to be THEIR HC. Caserio had nothing to do with either of those hires. The Texans turned into a PC franchise for monetary purposes. It is what it is and hopefully the org is over that period of history. The Texans are currently suffering because they chose to extend Derrick before making him play out his 5th yr option. They gave him the money and I frankly am not surprised things turned out badly. Give selfish people generational wealth and you can expect these things. I knew he was selfish on the field. I never could've guessed he was even more selfish off of it.
That is how I see it also
So him choosing Culley and Lovie, who is that on? I've never seen a gm in the nfl that had 3 head coaches.
Cal and Janice for monetary and racial lawsuit reasons. Derrick's perversions also played a part and cost the McNair's another 30 mil.
The McNair's made these hires for racial reasons something that should make you happy. Even though they hired 2 subpar Coaches in the process. The McNair's have always hired who they want to hire, ordo you really think RS would have hired BOB?What?
C'mon bro. Carsterio interviewed who he wanted, but he tried to dictate who the new coach kept on staff. All the potential candidates said nope. When they ran out of candidates and because of the Flores lawsuit, they couldn't hire McCown, so the only option was Lovie. The year before, Culley had the staff forced on him also. You're just trying to blame someone else except Carsterio. Lawsuits had zero to do with his coaching choices. The Texans organization has paid for 3 gms at the same time when they fired Smith,and Gaine. That's 3b organization and the coach is making on par with other coaches. I don't see any other team in the nfl with bridge coaches, 2 of them. The fallacy behind that is how can you build a system if you keep changing coaches?
All I will say is following in his daddy's footsteps Cal hires the coaches he wants. At least that's what history says. You can choose to ignore history if you wish and yes Lovies hire had everything to do with race and the Flores lawsuit. BTW, I still like the Lovie hire he's serving his purpose.
So Carsterio is a puppet?
Nope, he does the job he was hired for. Getting the best deal that he could for the pervert and working with Lovie to add talent through the draft. Was RS a puppet?
Isn't every gm in the league other than Belicheck?
How did Esterbunny enter the equation? If you can't hire a competent coach, isn't that on the gm?
It should be. If this was RS he would most definitely be getting all the blame. Unfortunately so much crazy stuff was going on , Nick gets a pass for right now. Even though he should’ve cleaned house and let the new HC hand pick his staff.
It's just as much on the owner. Nothing is done in a vacuum, it's on the organization as a whole
Nah, you do it a certain way. Either the coach comes in and brings a gm who thinks of players like he does or you hire the gm and he brings in a coach whom he can vibe with. Under Caserio, he's hired 2 coaches that didn't get an interview with any other team. Culley was just happy to have a job as a head coach. He didn't pick any coach on his staff. When the gm dictate who the coach can hire, you're shrinking your talent pool. They couldn't hire Frazier because of his issues with Lovie from Tampa and Carsterio had already had Lovie in the hotel to be hired. Then after firing Culley, the puppet of all puppets after Flores was fired, again, trying to tell the coach who can be hired. It wasn't until they were out of options is when Lovie came into play. So if the gm is doing all of this as if he's done this somewhere else and witnessed success, why should he get to choice another failure coach?
No excuses for Caserio here. He never should have dictated coaches to Frazier or any other.
I think Cal/Janice make the final decision
How do you know that NC was trying to dictate who would be on the coaching staff? I haven't heard that elsewhere
I know, but when I brought up Esterbunny, I'm tripping, lol.I am just giving you the info as it is reported. McCown came to the Texans via Easterby. And the pivot from McCown/Gannon not only saved the Texans from the Flores lawsuit but also limited Easterby’s influence. For now.
What Josh McCown has said about his ties to Jack Easterby
The former NFL quarterback spoke glowingly of the Texans' embattled executive when he...www.chron.com
Gannon was interviewed twice in 2022 after Culley had been fired. No one else hired him either, maybe there was another reason like with Bianimi?
3 times if you count when Esterbunny was part of the coaching search and they interviewed him.
Maybe he didn't have strong candidates on his own? I haven't seen anywhere that he turned the job down. All I can find or remember is he was told he wouldn't be the coach. Flores was looking like the guy
The McNairs hire the GM and the HC. Otherwise if Cal didn't put his foot down to his mother and Easterby, McCown would be the HC.
At the behest of Janice.
Jerry Jones? 8 HCs.
If he does get to pick a 3rd HC, then you will know the 1st two were ownership picks.
If you're right, why does that change on the 3rd HC? What stops Cal from stepping again and saying, "No, I want this guy."
