Texans random thought of the day

So he (Caserio) has no accountability as long as he fires someone every year? Surely you see how this logic is flawed?

Every time Caserio fires a HC he’s starting over. Who is saying Caserio isn’t accountable?

To be clear when I say first year of the rebuild we started 3 years ago I’m looking right at Caserio.
 
For me the rebuild started the day O'Brien left. The only mitigating factor as far as I'm concerned is they left Easterby around for 2 off-seasons after O'Brien left. It's still murky to me how much influence Easterby had after Caserio arrived. I do know this year was the first off-season since 2019 without Easterby lurking around somewhere & it may be the best off-season in franchise history.

If Easterby still had an in to the owners during Caserio's first 2 years then that may have tied Caserio's hands somewhat, I'm willing to give Caserio the benefit of the doubt & see what him & an Easterby free organization can do in the next couple of years.

Of course it started when Caserio arrived.

started over when he fired Culley.

started over, again when he fired Lovie.


no one from the Culley draft will make it past 2023 as a starter. Fingers crossed for Nico, hoping against hope for BJordan.

I personally think Nick drafted Stingley & Pitre looking past Lovie. But if we’re stuck on Lovie picking Stingley… only a matter of time before DeMeco replaces him.

I can see Green playing a lot of inside zone, I could be wrong but I’m not seeing a stretch zone or pulling Guard.

But we’ll see.

If Stingley is good, he will be down on Kirby for a long time.

Here is a quote from an article dated 12/11/2022.

"NFL owners seem more committed than ever to hiring offensive coaches. In the last five hiring cycles, 36 head coaches had been hired by NFL teams. 24 of them had an offensive background, while only 11 of them came from the defense."

Here is an excerpt from an interesting article that breaks down Win/Loss record by head coach philosophy from 2015-2020.

Win/Loss record by head coach philosophy

2020:

OHC: 142 - 150 (.486)
DHC: 88 - 72 (.550)

2019:

OHC: 151.5 - 157.5 (.490)
DHC: 87.5 - 84.5 (.509)

2018

OHC: 146 - 130 (.529)
DHC: 93 - 115 (.447)

2017:

OHC: 136 - 148 (.479)
DHC: 110 - 98 (.529)

2016:

OHC: 139 - 133 (.511)
DHC: 108 - 110 (.495)

2015:

OHC: 100 - 102 (.495)
DHC: 143 - 129 (.526)

For the entire six-year span, here’s the overall breakdown:

2015-2020

OHC: 814.5 - 820.5 (.498)
DHC: 629.5 - 608.5 (.508)

In other words, there hasn’t been a significant difference in success between offensive and defensive-minded head coaches despite a clear trend towards hiring offensive-minded guys.

This feels like a bit of confirmation bias for two reasons.

First, it states that the majority of hires over the last 5 seasons were offensive-minded coaches, but then compares records of all coaches, not just those hired in the last 5 years.

Second, it doesn't consider the reason that there were so many hired coaches, much less offensive-minded: bad teams. So now we are comparing records of established coaches with coaches hired to turn teams around, which as we all know can be a long process.

If you dont like something, you've got an uncanny ability to explain it away.

What am I explaining away. I've been very up front in the reason why I chose not to renew my season tickets after 2 decades. I dont like the person and this will be evident in time why I dont like him, he's already off to a great start in proving my point. Or the player.

No need to try to explain things away. But hey, enjoy being entertained, eat some BBQ and drink some beer. That's what the McNair's are counting on. Wash/Rinse/Repeat.
 
As everyone can see, excuses abound for someone 'explaining things'.

What excuses have I made, if this post is directed to me?

BTW, didn't I tell you that Stroud would be one of the last guys to sign after he was picked and you said I was just a hater. True I dont like the guy, I dont hate him though, I was also correct. This was very predictable. Get in bed with dogs and you're gonna get fleas.

How many of those fired were offensive coaches? If so you’d think that would skew the perception. More offensive coaches fail than defensive coaches kinda thing

Nothing strange there. Anderson signing as soon as he did is strange.

I’ll admit Mulugheta is a problem if Young signs before Stroud and/or Stroud doesn’t sign before TC starts.

I don’t think he can participate in TC if he’s not signed, so that would be a huge red flag.

I mean, it is from an article by a Lions beat writer that was posted on their version of TT (that he coincidentally runs) two weeks before they hired Dan Campbell. He made numerous assumptions about the success of different type of coaches in order to get to his point that you shouldn't just go for the offensive guru because it is trendy. Valid point, but the analytics was lacking. I am an analyst by trade and I noticed more opinion than facts in his data.

And what exactly don't I like? What am I trying to explain away? What argument am I trying to win?

The earlier the pick the later the signing. So it goes every year. Your 'don't like' is as close to 'hate' as ever seen

You crack me up. Consistently, inconsistent.

You have wanted Jimmy G as the Texans QB for years. You never had any issues with Jimmy hanging out with porn stars. It never made you question Jimmy's character. I guess once you gaze into those blue eyes, all is forgiven.

He wasn't hanging out with porn stars when I wanted him to be the QB of the Texans. I guess after Derrick and his bs, I'm just tired of seeing this bs coming from DM and his crowd. But hey, Hannah's drafted Stroud as a marketing tool, so you really can't blame Stroud for marketing himself. But this isn't conducive to winning championships. IMHO, which is all I really care about.
 
Man, it is slow this time of year. Two different times today, I was in car and turned on radio. Flipped to 3 major sports stations and a 4th I didn’t know existed and none were talking sports.
 
Saw this in another thread

I just see lovie call that last play to cost us the 1 pick. So disrespectful

My first thought was, “Really?”

I’m asking @SeriousShizzle but please if any of you feel the same way, please explain.

I’m talking 20/20 hindsight we know how everything turned out & you’re still holding a grudge because Mills made some improbable throws to some guys who actually caught the ball?

Really?

I didn’t care. I didn’t want the Texans to draft a QB, did you really want Bryce Young that bad? That’s the only thing the Texans missed out on & if you ask me, I think we dodged a bullet.
