Nick wants Flores, Cal won't sign off on it because of the lawsuit. Hence, the move to Lovie.
Still could be Flores. But Nick will need to convince Tommy boy.
Info I received just tonight.

I hope it's just a way to scare Flores into dropping the lawsuit

I want to believe but this sounds like total BS to me.bilbobag said:

Wait is the GM actually on the headset during the games? Wow and I thought Jerry was bad.rbcs_2 said:
Really? Because Flores never made sense to me. I can't imagine Flores being ok with the GM having a say in the coaching staff, being on the headset during games, etc.
I also think there is no way that Caserio eliminated all the other candidates knowing he wasn't going to be able to hire Flores.
EDIT: I shouldn't say Flores never made sense. I initially thought that it aligned that way with Culley being let go but once it got a few days beyond the initial wave, I had doubts that it would work out.
One more edit... The biggest reason why the info bilbo passed along sounds like BS to me (not that bilbo himself is), it's essentially the Chronicle's late-night report on the situation. I just have a total lack of trust with what the local media is saying right now.
He was with Culley. The plan was to help Culley along and had hopes that he could be a motivator while they trained him to be a HC. Since he clearly wasn't progressing, once Culley lost the locker room he was basically done.Quote:

did it with the Pats, did it with the Texans.....Hee Haw like to surround himself with the must "full of themselves" types of people he can. Imagine sitting in a room with the holy Easterbee, Cocaine Caserios, and Madden 20' Owner of the Year Hee Haw. The three biggest full of themselves, never wrong jackasses in all of sports. All part of the same franchise.SupaManu said:Wait is the GM actually on the headset during the games? Wow and I thought Jerry was bad.rbcs_2 said:

lol @ Cal = Tommy Boy
Live look at Bob handing management of the Texans over to Cal before he died:
All signs pointing to Lovie Smith being hired as next head coach of the Houston Texans @NFLonFOX
— Jay Glazer (@JayGlazer) February 7, 2022
Educated hunch on this is the #Texans make it official either later tonight or early tomorrow. Either way, Lovie Smith will be an NFL head coach soon. https://t.co/Bvz9PtbFYZ
— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) February 7, 2022
As for Josh McCown, who seemed to be the #Texans’ guy for much of their search, sources say there’s a possibility he could join Lovie Smith’s coaching staff, though those talks have yet to really happen. Pep Hamilton is expected to stick as offensive coordinator.

So....you fire a transition coach after one year who has a guaranteed contract that you have to pay out the remaining 2 years on, to promote your defensive coordinator who is a .500 transitional head coach?. . . said:All signs pointing to Lovie Smith being hired as next head coach of the Houston Texans @NFLonFOX

can update with "hire someone who was never considered by their own team as a candidate to be their HC, as HC"bigjag19 said:
I posted the below on Facebook a year ago. I don't even know what to update it with.
A brief list of Texans "accomplishments..."
Fired Brian Gaine for literally no reason
Went after Caserio without knowing his contract
Got charged with tampering
Promoted a Youth Pastor to VP
Let BOB be the GM instead of hiring someone
Traded Clowney for a bag of beans
Overpaid in a trade for Duke Johnson
Got Prison ****ed in trading for Tunsil without negotiating an extension
Gave up the best WR in the game for David Johnson and a pair of Cleats
Overpaid for Fulton
Overpaid Martin
Overpaid Cunningham
Overpaid Merciless
Overpaid for Cobb
Overpaid McKinney
Traded more to get Cooks than they got for Hopkins
Overpaid for Murray
Released a book on how great they were
Fired their PR person who is generally regarded as one of the best
Spent $600k on a GM candidates list
Began Negotiating with a Candidate and then backed out
Ignored the list and hired Jack's BFF
Didn't request an interview of Bienemy until Watson was upset
Retain their OC before hiring a Head Coach
Hire the backup QB as a coach before hiring a HC
Hire someone who was never considered by any other team as a candidate to be their HC
nothing, that's one of the problems.07ag said:
i mean, i guess lovie smith is a better choice than josh mccown, but, lovie's last 7 seasons as a head coach he's had a losing record. what are the texans expecting out of him they couldn't have gotten from culley?
I think they were down to Flores and McCown. Flores' lawsuit blew up both of them. They now don't want to hire Flores because he would likely pull back the curtain on this Mickey Mouse outfit when he's inevitably fired. They can't hire McCown because that would likely make them the target of Flores' lawsuit and would result in every talking head on ESPN, etc. going on about the Texans hiring a guy who's literally never coached before over qualified minority candidates.Bobby Jimbo said:
I just don't understand why the Texans apparently told Gannon that he's not their guy. He's a young coach, has coordinator experience, and apparently nailed his interview. It would only make sense to let Gannon know that he did not get the position if the Texans truly knew who their guy was. With this new Lovie Smith information, it sounds like they still don't know, unless Lovie was their guy all along? This whole thing does not make sense.
maybe Gannon had a problem with a Young Life youth pastor making roster decisions, or the fact that the GM would literally be micro managing every practice/game? I mean really, what experienced, successful head coach would ever want to take the job?.....Bobby Jimbo said:

How about inviting disgraced ex-Baylor coach Art Briles to attend a practice? The glowing write-up on this is still on the Texans website.bigjag19 said:

Because of all these potential PR issues, they probably dumped Gannon because they decided they had to go with a minority candidate now. So Lovie it is.
