...well, bye.

Even a dumpster fire thinks the Texans are a dumpster fire!

Culley was probably really good at coaching up players, but it's almost like he never watched games to understand how they work.
Welcome Coach Flores incoming?
Was Flores at least part of the reason why Watson wanted to go to Miami? I can't see Watson ever playing in Houston again, but how does this affect that dynamic? Is Miami still his preferred destination?
Agreed, several first round WRs are out there but none like him that I know of. Wilson and Olave/Ohio State, Williams/Alabama, London/USC, Dotson/Penn State, Burks/Arkansas, Pickens/Georgia. Chase has been an absolute machine this year, after taking the season off I had no possible thought that he'd be in contention for ROTY, but I don't see anyone beating him for it.
Matt Wells is available......

It feels like he would pretty much have any choice of the openings I'm not sure why he would pick here

Caserio has his guy. I'm betting on Flores given he has not been linked to any other jobs yet.
my Aggie self wouldn't mind if Nick Saban was given a look.
Now what about Easterby?
Texan_Aggie said:
Agree. Heard nothing about him until the Ohio State game. Would be cautious drafting him.
It's not like he was a one game wonder. He was dominant all season. Even against Georgia, it was clear that they game planned around him with quick screen passes to the perimeter or double teams.
this may be Jerod Mayo's opportunity.Snake Jazz said:
Culley is out. I feel bad for him...he didn't get much of a shot. However, I also think the job was over his head and it was just a matter of whether or not he got another year.
McDaniels? Mayo? Flores? Or some wild card? I doubt it's the latter...Caserio is going to pick somebody from the Belichick tree.
checks all the "Patriots" boxes
of course a fair question...the Texans had a hard time filling the job last year.
why will it be an easier hire or more attractive job this year?
Easterby is still here and the Watson ordeal is continuing.
(except that the Texans have 1st & 2nd round picks)

A coach from the Belicik tree AND a former player like Vrabel? You could be on to something...
yep, earlier in the week 610 played a clip of Mayo talking about "culture"...and it sounded like a fit for Kirby drive

Only thing I can think of is that Caserio's regime seems fairly stable. I think everyone knew Culley was just a patsy.
Then it turns out that the Texans might have a competent GM and a surprisingly promising QB prospect. Correct me if I'm wrong but Easterby hasn't made a headline all season - no interference from Cal and the youth pastor.
Maybe the job doesn't look as bad as it does to us fans.
I think Nick has his guy but I'd seriously consider Demeco Ryans and Pep Hamilton.
Demeco seems to be an up and comer who would bring some energy to the organization. Former player may add some fan appeal and get buzz going.
As for Pep give him the reigns and if he works out great you've got your man and if not then he's just the stop gap that Culley couldn't be until this things gets turned around.

We actually have draft picks and have cleared most of the bad contracts. Plus we'll likely have several more draft picks if we trade Deshaun and/or Tunsil.
You do realize why the Texans can't have Pep and Culley be consecutive stop gaps, right?Ag_07 said:

By stop gap I mean 3 year stop gap to babysit through the rebuild.
I think the floor for Pep is essentially what Culley was supposed to be.

LB coach to HC?
If they did hire Mayo, just like the Texans to Eff up another HC search. What a horrible organization.
Just so they can say they hired a Patriots coach.

Peat and Repeat
How is it that they people insid the org cant or dont see they are the laughing stock of the nfl and continuing to hire pats coaches just compounds that
The next guy will not be a stop gap like Culley was. Culley was brought in to fail and get fired after a year. They will try to get someone who can actually set the long term strategy and lead the rebuild this time.

Vrabel was a DC for 1 year, and he was pretty terrible at it. John Harbaugh has never been an OC or DC either.
It's riskier for sure, but what makes a good HC is not necessarily the same as what makes a good coordinator.
I think more important than anything is they need a HC that can lead. They need someone the players respect and will play for.
That's why Culley was awful. No one respected him and he was an awful leader and manager of people.
The prerequisite of being an coordinator is important because you have experience leading. As a coordinator you manage a staff. You're taking and giving out orders working with both coaches and players. Just as you would a HC.
It's not so much about Xs and Os but the ability to lead and manage.

I don't think that should be a disqualifier. Being a coordinator is very different than being a head coach. A coordinator is all about x's and o's. A head coach is more about management, leadership and judgment. Being a good coordinator does not make one a good head coach and vice versa. While there is some overlap, for the most part they are very different jobs.zooguy96 said:

I view a coordinator as much more of a "doer" than a leader. The HC sets the what he wants the schemes to look like, and the coordinators execute. The HC should be doing most of the staff mgmt as well.
There's a ton of good coordinators who fail as HCs because they aren't good leaders.

I don't disagree with a lot of what you said, however where are you hearing that the players didn't respect Culley or wouldn't play hard for him? I hadn't heard that, I had heard the opposite.
