Any solid confirmation on DeMeco yet?

Never underestimate Cal's ability to F things up.

Demeco has the makings of being a fine HC. No doubt his players will play hard for him and seek his approval. This question is how will he fill out his coaching staff. And does he see 2025 as important as 2023? Is he a BIG picture guy or does he only focus on the season at hand?

Cal/Janice selling the team... Or, putting a search committee together to find someone to run the organization (like Tex Schramm did for Dallas back in the day) and totally stepping away from all of it... Until then, we are dependent on good luck, IMO.

Remember when I called for this back in 2010 and said the McNair's were hands on owners. I was called all kinds of nasty names for my opinion.

Back in 2010, The well-oiled PR machine had crafted Bob McNair as one of the best owners in all of sports. It was a time before that image became tarnished.

Unlike Caserio, Ryans enters his new job with rebuilding experience both as a player (2006 Texans) and coach (2017 Niners). He knows what he's stepping into. The first year or so will be about teaching and building confidence. But he's not going to tank. Expect as many wins in 2023 as the last two seasons combined.

You sure? AFC North and NFC South plus, the Cardinals, Jets and Broncos.
I guess I could see a half dozen wins there.

As long as the Houston Texans main focus is the season at hand they will always be Houston Texans that everyone has come to know. If/When the Texans can get a leader who can plan for 3 and 4 years instead of one, then and only then the future of the Texans will change for the better. IE: Trading Tunsil, getting that enormous salary off the books, drafting an OT with #12, and getting a lot of draft capital in return. They are the Houston Texans with a cow as their mascot, so a herd mentality should be expected.

Two things we don't know about Ryans, (1) We don't know what his coaching staff will look like. (2) We don't know if he has an eye for talent. Those two things will determine Ryan's success or lack thereof.

Half a dozen seems about right. Depending on if they get a vet QB and draft well as well as hit the FA market with success. They also need to get lucky with health. If all of these things happened they could win between 8-10 games.

Im just happy we arent seeing so many of those hack articles like, “Black coaches need to avoid Texans” and “Texans are on their 3rd! Coach in 3! Years, OMG!”

Purdy would not have been able to handle the ball with a ruptured UCL. He has suffered a grade I tear of the UCL. But his main limitations were due to the contusion of the ulnar nerve which is not uncommon when the UCL tear is not due to typical overuse, but acutely incurred due to a direct trauma to the elbow. Surgery at this point is probably very unlikely, and as long as there is no permanent nerve damage, he should be good to go for next season.

EDIT: Purdy's MRI showed Grade III UCL tear with ulnar nerve contusion. He will need surgery. Estimated return in 6 months. Amazing that he could even hand the ball off effectively in his limited time out there.

Purdy is going for a 2nd opinion. Since he is expected per reports to be able to return in 6 months, it is evident to me that he will not be undergoing Tommy John surgery. To me, this means that instead of a "reconstruction," he will undergo a "repair" using bone anchors and permanent sutures............and this tells me that the tear was either distal or proximal (near the bone attachments). If the tear were in mid ligament [see 2nd pic below], he would definitely be going to the much more complicated Tommy John reconstructive surgery.

LOL, how long have you been a fan of Houston football teams? Just because I point out that history is repeating itself doesn't mean I'm not a fan of Houston football.

I LOL at posts like yours, I've read them so many times over the yrs. Pointing out that nothing has changed doesn't equal hating the team or wishing the best for them.

Its going to be different after we get signed Demeco signed. For the first time in the last couple head coach carousels we wont be that special kid left out in the rain. Just think, we could be broncos with our target signing elsewhere and now weve got our d*** in our hand. Or Arizona and having to end up hiring brian flores.

I feel as bad for everyone who believes everything they read on the internet as I do anyone who believes everything they see on the news..

My guess is twitter will break this sometime tomorrow from some reasonably reliable source and/or the Texans twitter themselves..

Local news will have it sometime later between telling you which several things in your kitchen are likely to kill you next..

Sounds good to me. What seems to be the problem?

The only problem is your #3 even being part of the calculation in any capacity, which unfortunately it seems to be for some. But, alas, here we are in a society that's regressing.

We're about to get the #1 coaching candidate who also is pretty much the anti-cancer that ruined this franchise for 9 years who was a historical star for us and oh by the way we have a **** ton of picks and caproom.

I don't give a **** if he's black, white, brown, red, green, an avatar or anything else. I'm excited as **** and for the first time in a long time.

One coaches under Reid, the other didn't. People have been pining for a Reid offense here for yrs. More than offense rankings, I look at whether Kalfka got the most out of the talent he had at his disposal. He did.

On another note I noticed that the Texans are a racist org thread got shutdown. I'm glad that's been put to bed. Some people have a lot of crow to eat.

I think Reid is an excellent coach but so is Shanahan. How many rings would Shanahan have with Mahomes as his QB? Kafka did a good job this year as did Ryans. It’s unfair to knock a coaches performance because he has talent to work with.

Ah yes, but would that talent have blossomed if it were not for that particular coach?🤔

If the Texans let Demeco get on a plane headed out of town without a contract, they are morons. EVERY team with a vacancy wants this guy. Seriously. If he signs here, the other dominos will fall fairly quickly, but they are all waiting on Meco, especially Denver. If it's all money, Denver might win, but Meco has $$$. My money is on the Texans, but it ain't over until the fat lady sings. I'm hoping by the end of the day or worst case...tomorrow, we've got our guy. Come on Cal/Hannah/Nick - make this happen!
