Under normal circumstances, the HC should absolutely have say in who is on his staff. The HC plans the menu, the GM buys the groceries needed for that menu, and the HC and his sous-chefs get to cooking. But this isn't normal circumstances. Culley wasn't brought here to plan menus or do any cooking. He's here to tell us the restaurant is going to be great, that they're working hard to get the recipes right, smile while he's doing it, and cash retirement checks.
Earl the Texans have been making dumb ash backwards moves and decisions for quite some time now. And it's not about to change with this new regime. As we can see Cal has given Nick Caserio all the power to do wtf he wants to do. He did it with Obrien and Watson. Brother he's a freaking pushover. That's why Obrien punked him to doing exactly what he wanted him to do. That's one of the reasons why Watson is acting like spoiled brat. That's the reason why Easterby is in the position he's in. Now we have Caserio running the show.
This is likely a factor in the makeup of the Texans current organization and their plan going forward. Easterby is out of the NE organization. So is Caserio. They have a long time working relationship. And it may not come about, but rumors are that Caserio may have a mind to hire his next HC away from the Pats, someone with whom he also has a long term working relationship.
Those aren't real rumors, that's wishful thinking borne out of hate.
Really? From a "reliable" New England source?
Really. Why wouldn't he have gotten his coach last season than sign a lame duck for 5 years. Doesn't make sense.
If this is your philosophy, why all the complaining about Smith not getting Kubiak a QB? Having a GM making final decisions on all things football has created more issues than solved them. This approach is why any HC that has any success wants more control in personnel matters. Eventually, there will be conflicts between the GM and HC.
Do I sense you're coming back to your senses? Rick Smith had no say in Texans QB while Kubiak was HC. Kubiak found Schaub on his own and this is where Bob McNair really screwed up by not letting Kubiak find another QB after Schaub went south. Smith's first real foray in finding a Texans QB was Brock Osweiler but that was mostly at Bob McNair's direction.
And this is why Culley should have never received a contract longer than 3 years. If Culley's current contract doesn't have an out before the 5 years, then the Texans got hustled again.
If what you say is true, that Kubiak told Smith to find him a QB in 2012, why did it take Smith 3 years and the year after Kubiak was gone to find a QB? No comprende.
I think your contact who sat in the McNair's private box, spent all of his time sitting on the floor in the back of the suite playing video games with Game Boy.
I dunno, guess I missed the hoodie ?

Yes sir, I go with that.
When McDaniels is hired by the Texans he will be tied to the Patriots. McDaniels is at the top of list for several reasons, Nick and Josh are very good friends, Caserio only knows the Patriots way of doing things, McDaniels is all Patriots except for his Denver SNAFU. That SNAFU does not register on the Caserio radar. Then you will have (3) Belichick lackeys running the Houston Texans. It's going to be worse than the Bill O'Brien - Jack Easterby Show.
It will be the NRG Triumvirate. Jack will be in charge of the Venn diagrams and RACI matrix.
I'm looking forward to seeing McDaniels work with Mills.
Yes and no. During this segment they mentioned this had been discussed in an earlier segment. It wasn't mentioned in this segment, but, it must have been earlier, the name Jarod Mayo came up.
If I just said, I want nothing to do with Belichick lackeys, would that suffice?
I did not.
NFL history would support your opinion.
Bonehead decisions are one thing. Even the most experienced make those. Trying to figure out whether to play 3rd down over or punt, there's not a decision there to be made. A kindergartner could make that call. That's like I'm going to flip this 2 headed coin, call it in the air. Culley calls tails. What??
If you are implying there is no such thing as a "reliable" source, other than an owner or GM, then ok, I would agree. But more generally, a reliable source is someone who has a reputation within, and is accepted as such, by the news media and those within the NFL industry.
Again, not saying I expect perfection from a rookie, or anyone for that matter. And let's keep in mind that this rookie has been in the business for 27 years. I do, however, expect things that require no thought at all, not to be fucked up. I don't think that's expecting too much, even if someone's never done it before. I don't know what your experiences are, and it doesn't really doesn't matter. This is football, not rocket science, or brain surgery or garbage collecting. And the guy has been in a coaching capacity in it for 27 years. A young rookie who's been in the league 4 years like Staley, there's going to be some growing pains. Hell, same with Bill O'Brien when he 1st got here, except he never learned a damn thing. And as I've mentioned, even the experienced still make boneheaded decisions. Culley's in-game decisions, and then trying to explain those decisions at the podium afterwards, he just appears to have no clue. I don't give a damn if he's a rookie or not. You can make mistakes, just know what the **** is going on.
Ok, can't disagree.
