Texans random thought of the day

For Slowick at his new destination probably.

Probably not. Being an OC for a top QB is a guaranteed pathway to be a HC. (Unless you don’t take the job like the guy from Tampa Bay or your Bieniemy.)

I know I wouldn’t jump ship for the unknown prospect of coaching that couldn’t match the skill of Stroud.

The only job out there that would look appealing is the Chargers and coaching Herbert.

Who else is out there to coach that is a proven top QB and won’t have a HC next year?

Yeah and I think the Chargers would probably go with a recycled known variant.
 
I don’t get why there is this assumption that Slowick is just champing at the bit to becoming a HC of just any bad football team that comes along. Unless Stroud wins the Super Bowl this year, how can Slowick not think he’s already got a good thing going with Stroud and the job isn’t finished yet?

Maybe there is just the mindset amongst the fans that the team finally has an OC that they don’t want fired and to be never heard from again. We’re not allowed to have nice things.
 
I really expect Slowik's career path to be similar to Ryans. He is probably going to be a head coach. Here is how it played out for Ryans.

On January 18, 2021, Ryans was promoted to defensive coordinator following the departure of Robert Saleh.

After the 2021 season Ryans was interviewed for the head coaching vacancy at the Vikings, but declined a second interview and opted to remain with the 49ers for the 2022 season.

On January 31, 2023, Ryans was announced as the next head coach of the Houston Texans.

This is just the price of success. It happens to all the good teams. It is just something the Texans & the fans will have to deal with. Hopefully Ryans continues to have an eye for talented coaching staff. In today's NFL it is second only to finding talented players.
 
In the past, before the NFL partnered with the gambling industry, fans had no standing to legally address bad officiating. But now it seems to me that fans would have the standing to file a class action lawsuit against the NFL. I know one lawsuit has already been filed for not placing an injured player on the injury list. The game needs some cleaning up and money talks. A class action for $100M would hit the NFL where it hurts.

Depends on where Buffalo and Cincinnati end up.

Jerrod is a Houston native plus an OC would be more likely to call plays under a defensive head coach than under and offensive head coach.

I get it. But if his bread is being buttered by learning from Slowick then I would follow Slowick & let the play calling thing work itself out.

Plenty of reasons to stay in Houston. Plenty of reasons to stay with SLO

Josh McCown was fired as QB coach in Carolina. I guess he can finally land that job as HC of the Texans. :texans:

Outside of drafting Stroud, not hiring McCown to run the show may be the best move the Texans have done in 10 years.

The number of bullets dodged due to Lovie winning that final game is starting to pile up, and it's getting a bit...weird? karmic?

And it's not a move they were trying not to do. It appears the universe had to step in and kick off a series of events to make that not happen.
 
The Texans history is that of a crap organization making incomprehensible decisions. The fact we have both DeMeco and Stroud is a stroke of pure luck and I'll take it. Having good luck is the only thing that could have saved this badly run organization anyways. If the DeMeco and Casino show can do again next offseason like they did this one, we'll be in fine shape for a lengthy playoff run in 2024.

I'm trying to be optimistic, I really am.

But things aren't going as well as hoped with the Chargers & they were feeling just like we were a few years ago.

Before the season started I was very hopeful about DeMeco and him turning things around. Stroud didn't figure into my thinking other than I didn't want a QB drafted this year. But, we ended up with two gems. How far we go is anyone's guess, but the days of us being bottom feeders are over with for a while.
 
The Raiders cut CB- Marcus Peters. The Texans need CB's that can do the job better than the current crew. I'm not sure Peters would perform better, but if anyone could potentially get that good Marcus back on the field, it would be Ryans. It could be a decent pickup for the stretch run.

Get him fired up again?
Well, if he wants to come here, he could contact Texans FO with a team friendly contract offer.

Pitre Reveals Reason Behind Texans' Defensive Lapses

The Houston Texans' secondary was repeatedly gashed by the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 12. Safety Jalen Pitre explained what went wrong in the loss.

Demeco secretly must be exstatic with the team when he considers our lowly status at the end of last season.
A big off-season could see us as a contender by the end of 2024 - add a couple of impact players to both sides of the ball and we will be thereabouts.

I’ve said it earlier that the Hail Mary pass against the Colts last year was Full of Grace. But now I’m convinced that we would have drafted CJ anyway. The Texans have stated that they were very impressed with their interviews with him. Maybe I know why? I’ve listened to a few of Young’s interviews and dozens of CJ’s. Young is well spoken. He’s a great person. But CJ just seems more mature, football mature to me. His love and knowledge of the game can’t be overstated. I don’t get that when Bryce speaks. It’s subtle but evident to me and I believe the Texans may have picked up on that. CJ just sounds so DeMeco.
 
Is Sanders injured, still learning the D or what? Wonder why we haven’t seen him. It’s not like our DL is kicking ass, WA included. If he’s no good move on but he doesn’t seem to have a lot of competition. Is our DL coach competent?

They like Sanders so much that he was inactive last game and went out and got Barnett off of the WW this week. If I had to guess Sanders isn't long for this team. Definitely wont be on the team next yr.

Not buying it. Sanders could have been cut to sign Barnett especially if he hasn’t seen any action. Something else is going on. I never even heard of the guy so I don’t care one way or the other.

Obviously they aren't happy with the Edge position outside of WA.
