That's what happens when you have to talk Texans 24/7/365.
Got to find something to talk about to fill that air time.

Eagles DC Jonathan Gannon was informed, as of yesterday, he would not be receiving the head coach job for the #Texans
(@JosinaAnderson)
That mean it's either Brian Flores or Josh McCown...

I do hope it's Flores but frankly I don't see how it could be anyone other than McCown.
I am not sure how a franchise hires a guy that is currently suing them. I suppose they could get it worked out to where he drops the suit, but that would go against the reason he filed it.
Also, Flores isn't going to want to work alongside a GM like Nick with a big influence on the coaching staff and is on the headset during games.
If we get beyond Monday with no announcement, it has to be McCown. They will want to lessen the blowback and super bowl week is a good week to do it.

Mike McDaniel, the 49ers OC, will be the next Miami HC
Hiring Flores would genuinely make me excited about this team for the first time in a couple of years. Hiring McCown would make me want to drink until I'm numb.
Guess I need to run by Spec's tomorrow.
I would love to be pleasantly surprised by this decision, but I don't know if there is a front office in professional sports that seems to openly hate their fans as much as the Texans do.

This sums up exactly how I'm feeling. I'd like the announcement soon so I have an idea about whether I get a chance to breathe or give up all together.Snake Jazz said:

I disagree. That would be the worse time to do it.
With radio row going on and everyone in front of a microphone the last thing they want is talking about Flores getting snubbed for McCown.
That would be a PR disaster (if it wasn't already).
I'm not sold on either McCown or Flores but of those two I'd take McCown. Flores is toxic and I'd want no part in that.
I didn't follow Miami close enough to have an opinion on Flores as a coach.
But if he comes here, he will likely fail. Because that's what the vast majority of coaches do and most aren't dealt a hand as bad as this one would be. And judging by the bridges he's burned in the last week or so, my guess is he won't handle it well and will go scorched earth. Can't decide if I want to see that or not. But if you're Cal, Easterby, etc., you better really consider that.

I think you are misunderstanding me a bit. All I'm really saying is if they don't announce Monday, it's got to be McCown. They would likely wait until the weekend to make that announcement though if I had to guess.
PR is going to be difficult no matter how they went about it.
One of the first teams to know we needed a coach and this is what it comes down to.
Hiring McCown would make me lose the little interest I have left in this franchise.Snake Jazz said:

Super Bowl week would be perfect. Outside a couple hours the day of announcement it won't be talked about. Outside of Houston nobody really gives a **** about the Texans. Literally they are the league piss on's.
Flores, Mccown, Tom Landry, nobody can save the Kirby dumpster fire as long as Hee Haw is there playing video games and Easterbay is preaching.

I'm starting to think this is a play by Casrieo. I can see the meeting with Cal now.
Cal I tried to find us a head coach but Easterby and I agree that none of the candidates were a proper fit for the culture we are trying to build. Only I can guide this franchise to finally becoming the Patriots. Caserio will be reprising the role of Head Coach and GM.

at this point McCown is a better hire than Flores.
it would be absolutely insane to intentionally jump into a racial firestorm

This. Why would you willingly hire someone that you know is going to look at anything through a racial lens. You will almost assuredly get sued for something while he is there and DEFINITELY get sued when he gets canned.
Texans are now in talks with their associate head coach and defensive coordinator Lovie Smith about potentially becoming their next head coach, sources tell me and @fieldyates.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) February 7, 2022
Texans are interviewing defensive coordinator and associate head coach Lovie Smith for their head coaching vacancy, per a league source. Texans, who have interviewed Josh McCown twice, haven't spoken recently with Brian Flores. Jonathan Gannon no longer a candidate.

Texans aren't hiring Josh McCown, according to a league sourfce
— Aaron Wilson (@AaronWilson_NFL) February 7, 2022
Texans were serious about Josh McCown, but have moved on to Lovie Smith, per league sources. They aren't in talks with Brian Flores and previously ruled out Jonathan Gannon. If Smith deal is struck, the Texans hire a very experienced candidate who has 89-87 record as head coach https://t.co/4R3kGAUQI0

Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.

You think Flores would come in as DC since he isn't getting a job elsewhere?
If he did and then was hired as a HC next year, the Texans would get the draft compensation for someone else hiring a minority HC.

If that's the case they should have just kept Culley not going to make a difference
Lol curveball! Wouldn't hate Lovie and he's definitely an upgrade over Culley.
Lol!!!! So go 2 weeks and interview candidates to only hire the current dc
Nick wanted a younger head coach but struck out. Onto plan D
I actually don't hate Lovie. But how does it take this long for a coach to be hired that currently works for you.
Struck out as in the coach didnt want to come to houston? Or jack or cal vetoed it?
This comes off as the Texans hiring a black coach without touching the toxic mess that Flores is.
Like 'Oh **** now we can't hire McCown and Flores is untouchable. What black coach can we hire to appease the masses? What about Lovie?'
If they thought Lovie was a legit candidate they would've interviewed him along with the others and not as an afterthought.
Could've avoided all this and just hired O'Connell. Fckn Texans

Thats probably the exact conversation they had
Last two stops as head coach - Tampa Bay 8-24 and Illinois 17-39 sounds like a Texans hire
So entered into the weekend with 3 finalists, exited the weekend eliminating all of them? Doesn't really make sense. Are they just having trouble filling the position?Because that's what it seems like.
It makes perfect sense.
They finally had a pow wow and realized that hiring either one of the last two men standing would've been a diaster.

Always wondered why they hired Culley and had Lovie underneath him. Like Lovie has to be sitting there thinking "I am so much better than my boss"

Yeah. I get the sense they were gonna hire McCown but the Flores lawsuit screwed up their plans. Realized they would have been crucified for hiring a white guy with literally zero experience. So, now they're scrambling.
Lovie Smith? seriously?
So what's wrong with Pep Hamilton? At least he's young, has some NFL coaching under his belt and apparently is well-liked and respected.
Did the Texans even interview Jerod Mayo?
Knowing the Texans, they'd be more apt to hire Whitman Mayo.

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.

The more this drags out, the more likely Pep leaves.

The fact that Flores filed what appears to be a very thin lawsuit while he was still in the running for HC jobs is mind boggling.
