That’s more on Jackson than on Culley. Jackson is not good in the passing game. Dude can’t throw in tight windows and the out patterns he’s atrocious.
& those people didn’t interview one candidate, but they know who the best candidate is

Texans are hiring David Culley as their head coach - ProFootballTalk
The Texans have agreed to a deal to make David Culley their next head coach, according to a source.Culley remains in Houston after a long day of interviews. Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier was the only other candidate who got a second interview with Texans General Manager Nick Caserio...

And I'll tell you one thing further. I hope Culley comes in and works to establish a proper culture and attitude, and I hope that he makes strides and builds the foundation. And since he's already 65, I can easily envision them setting McCown to take over for him in the future once he decides to retire.
Yeah, I loved the hire of Arians. He’s actually pretty funny too. My comment was solely based on age. Arians is only going to be around 2, 3 maybe 4 years. It obviously worked out here as I was not expecting a Super Bowl trip in his second year. He’s says no but if we win he might retire. If that happens it still paid off.
The Texans aren’t 2 years away but you guys probably know better than me. My point is I wouldn’t want to start a rebuild with a 65 year old coach. Most coaches are given 5 years and he’ll be 70 then. However, he might be vegan and that won’t be an issue.

which if true, he’s only sticking around b/c Watson was likely adamant that he wanted Kelly to be his OC....likely b/c under Kelly, Watson had more control of the offense than he did under BoB.
Culley is also another offensive mind for DW4 and Kelly to bounce things off of seeing he was a Qb in college, passing game coordinator in B-more and he’s familiar with Reid’s offensive concepts.
Solid hire imo, but it will depend largely on who he brings in to run the defense, and his position coaches, especially for the DB’s and o-line.
of course if DW4 still wants out, none of this will matter.

I guess we'll see how this works out, but given the recent Texans sh!t show, I have 0 faith they they've made the right hire.
Oh, and when I find myself agreeing with majority of what Texian and steelbtexan say, the Texans must be in some real deep sh!t...

So basically the Texans hired the NFL version of a janitor.
Surely he’ll stick around to break Romeo’s record.Most coaches are given 5 years and he’ll be 70 then. However, he might be vegan and that won’t be an issue.

Never really could. At Louisville, he had a wide open guy on almost every single play, and he’d miss them often, sometimes hugely.
I’m going to wait.
If 4 is good with this, it was the right hire. If 4 wants to run off to greener pastures... well.

Well, however the new guy (what's his name....) fills out his staff will be interesting. And how they handle one of the league's best QBs, or, a boatload of draft picks, will tell us a lot. You guys know this could go both ways here. Odds are, at least mathematically speaking, we're due for a break.
Oh boy. Lovie “very, very disappointed” Smith. Just a heads up, he can’t defend a 10 yard slant. He drove me crazy here.
I do like keeping Josh McCown around. He’s got a future in coaching. He’s always been a great locker room guy.

Yes. O'Brien was a piece of **** that was a power hungry thug from the beginning and fellated by fans and media alike allowing his ego to garner the mass of the sun. And even after his failure after failure after failure after failure still had his sycophants defending him. I'll never understand the heaps of adulation that guy received for literally zero reason and actually actively showed thousands of reasons why he SHOULDN'T.
That guy created a wreck worse than anyone could ever imagine. And we're seeing it play out.
Culley is coming in with none of that. Just the wreck to repair. Which is a tough task.

The Illini defensive guru isn’t the problem. It's not the scheme. It’s the lack of quality pass rushers keeping Lovie Smith’s defense from good to great.

How in the world can you be a WR coach for 11 years.

Welcome aboard David Culley, your most important task will be to find a competent OL coach.
To be fair LJ's a very good RB.
Lovie is a Tampa two guy right?

Which is EXACTLY what is going to make this whole thing interesting. LOLOn the positive note.....we were all wrong in the HC prediction
chicagotexan2
Easterby = Little Finger/Cal = Fredo Corleone
Cal McNumbnuts, instead of firing fat Travolta, promotes a mediocre HC to GM despite blowing a 24 point lead in the playoffs and NEVER had any experience as a GM.
Cal McNumbnuts heeds the advice of a pseudo preacher who’s NEVER held a personnel position to dole out terrible contracts to players.
Cal McNumbnuts hires a man that has NEVER even been a coordinator or more than a position coach to be the HC.
this move makes perfect sense.

65 year-old WR coach. The kind of hire that wins over both players and fans. 
Maybe Cal spent all the money on Belichick's coffee boy, and had to go cheap

Whereas BoB was a control freak, Without knowing the man, Culley appears to be the direct opposite in that he’s gonna hire his coaches and let those guys coach. I think he’ll be like Pete Carroll as a HC...a motivator ....galvanizer while steering the team in the general direction. It’ll be a player’s team under him.

EB was a RB coach for what like 6-9 years?
Of course he will be.
Cant ever fully clean house it's the Texans way.
Kelly must be a good Christian man or he wouldn't have been kept on.
