I've heard there's going to be a big shakeup in the scouting staff after the draft.They've got to research our team figure out what they want to do & what they'll need, then start working with the scouts & get ready for the combine
I think it's a done deal that Lovie Smith will be our DC.That being said I of course will give him a chance and can't wait to see who his DC and On-line coach will be!
Weaver took a job with the RavensThat D has been awful for years and I worry that RAC/Weaver may be kept on.
I am fine with Smith - and getting McCown as a QB coach or something like that would be good as well! Now get a real Oline coach!I think it's a done deal that Lovie Smith will be our DC.
I think wet paper bag will be an improvement as OL coach.
Here's a novel idea. They fired the coach after week 4 correct? Why not hire a out of work gm or 2 or 3 to evaluate your team and the players until the end of the season. Get those suggestions and give them to the gm you hire and see what he thinks. This should be known before you hire the coach. Also, why haven't the director of scouting been fired yet or the oline coach? I. Could go on, but it doesn't matter. This just stinks to me. I mean Culley has been under Reid in some capacity for half of his pro coaching career, why would he want Kelly if there are plenty of Reid disciples out there who know the language offensively?He's got to get his staff together & watch 16 weeks of bad football before the combine.
I don't think anyone is upset that we hired a Christian headcoach. His religion doesn't matter to the majority of fans! But some are a little worried, that his religion might have played a role in his hiring - and that would be bad. Hire a football coach for his football knowledge and people skills, not because he is a man of God.So the smart set douchebags like River McCown are upset that....David Culley's a Christian?
Oh no bro. The horror!! Surely no Christians have ever been involved in playing and coaching football!
I mean maybe we should have hired a Marxist revolutionary or something maybe that'll make these people happy.
Annoying.
Posting this in the moderator thread.The "like" button really needs to have some sort of facepalm option available. That's the only one I've wanted to use in a while.
The media is spinning it that way, since they’ve been going after Easterby Christianity.I don't think anyone is upset that we hired a Christian headcoach. His religion doesn't matter to the majority of fans! But some are a little worried, that his religion might have played a role in his hiring - and that would be bad.

That being said I don't believe the Texans are actually this delusional and his religion didn't play any role in the hiring...
FIFY.Caserio didn't hire Culley
Easterby did
to be fair he was nfl passing touchdown leader in 2019That’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.
lol look at bill o brien dude was a QB whisperer apparently and look how that turned out..How has Culley ever excelled in his career to deserve this job? He's been nothing than a position coach his entire career! never been a OC or DC...ever!
Well there are reasons hes not with any outlets officially covering the team.So the smart set douchebags like River McCown are upset that....David Culley's a Christian?
Oh no bro. The horror!! Surely no Christians have ever been involved in playing and coaching football!

yes, actually I do. Name the position/opening that Lovie Smith or McCown would have either fit into or even interviewed for going forward - none, zero.A, you don’t know that, B, no such thing as “the right hire”. In 2014 BoB was “the right hire” according to fans. you also do nt know that Culley ISNT “the right hire”.
Add JJ to that list.Losing Harden, Springer, and Watson in the same year
This is my thinking too—if he’s not good at calling plays, he can still be a good HC by managing coordinators who are. I do wish that I hadn’t read so many discouraging things about his work history, though...I'm very interested to see who he brings in as coordinators.
Just to play devils advocate he has helped turn Lamar Jackson into a dual threat QB.Ravens passing game coordinator doesn't exactly inspire confidence.
Hell NAW!!! Weeks is money! He don't need no coach!Hell they might make me long snapper coach.
Can you share links to what you've read?This is my thinking too—if he’s not good at calling plays, he can still be a good HC by managing coordinators who are. I do wish that I hadn’t read so many discouraging things about his work history, though...
As a Michigan fan I can tell you that Lovie's defenses at Illinois were absolute garbage.Just to play devils advocate he has helped turn Lamar Jackson into a dual threat QB.
I love the idea of a coach who will be a leader and allow his coordinators to get on with their job. If you are worried about an offensive minded HC who O had bad categories, wait till we do the deep dive on Illinois’ D if Lovie Smith is hired as DC.
For the record, an assistant HC title is given to a coach that is otherwise making a lateral move. For the Ravens to hire Culley from the Bills, a promotion would be needed. Since Culley wasn’t getting a coordinator job, the assistant head coach title was given. It’s not like Harbaugh gave up any responsibilities. Culley was the WR coach.He has assistant HC on his resume and has coached under some great HCs
They were conservative and outdated when Smith was in the NFL.As a Michigan fan I can tell you that Lovie's defenses at Illinois were absolute garbage.
Conservative and outdated.
That’s fine, but it didn’t take Reid 27 years in the league to become HC.He's been Assistant HC in Baltimore & KC, like Reid was before he became a HC.
If Watson stays it's because the Texans didn't trade him. Watson cannot force a trade. If Watson plays, it's probably because he's under contract and some cooler heads got to him and talked him out of a public relations nightmare, being egged on, in the media, by people with no skin in the game.The only way this makes sense is if they know whatson is leaving for sure and They just need a Patsy for a couple of years while they rebuild. If Watson stays this means he picked the head coach.
So success or failure matters less than the process used? I'd rather see a successful "out of the box" hire than a failure brought about by "consensus".That’s fine, but it didn’t take Reid 27 years in the league to become HC.
6 other HC jobs were available and NONE had Culley on their radar. No one!!! Korn Ferry, Porn Fairy, no one had this guy as even an afterthought. But somehow the Jack Prayery search firm has him at the top of the list.
Whether Culley turns out to be a good hire or not, isn’t really issue to me, it’s the process. The Texans take the most unconventional, backassward way to get a guy that has never even interviewed for HC in 27 years (according to what I’m hearing, that is). But certainly a guy who wasn’t a blip on anybody’s radar.
Only the Texans.
Lol.
It keeps getting worse. The entire top of the football side is completely unqualified except for Crennel
That’s fine too. If it works out, great. Again though, 27 years in the league, never interviewed for HC, 6 other openings, on no one’s list....I mean out of the box is one thing. An owner taking draft advice from a homeless guy is another.So success or failure matters less than the process used? I'd rather see a successful "out of the box" hire than a failure brought about by "consensus".
just like the chin hireSo success or failure matters less than the process used? I'd rather see a successful "out of the box" hire than a failure brought about by "consensus".
Right. It's not the who but the why. Finding the best football coach was not the top criteria. When trying to win football games is not the most important thing, you're not going to win football games.Whether Culley turns out to be a good hire or not, isn’t really issue to me, it’s the process.
Watson would have selected Bieniemy.If Watson stays this means he picked the head coach.
You know this how?Watson would have selected Bieniemy.
That's a possibility, but I've wondered if the team and Cully didn't discuss Lovie previously and jointly decided to interview him. I would assume Cully mentioned a few potential staff members during his interviewThey were conservative and outdated when Smith was in the NFL.
Let’s not pretend these assistant coaches are Culley hires. The Texans brought Smith in for an interview before they offered Culley the HC job. These assistants are being foisted on Culley. He is not choosing the offense or defense that will be run. Can you imagine any other situation like this in the NFL? The Texans are taking dysfunction to unseen heights.
