    Not the poster you are replying, but I assume he has some say, but in the end, it isn't him who likely has the final say. I'm not sure if he's a good coach or not as Texans seem to have a huge personnel issue. For a team that can't block or handle quick receivers, I'm still amazed the Texans made the playoffs even with the weak schedule.

    So this "Sauce" guy may or may not know what is happening but interesting nonetheless:



    It’s tough… been thinking on it all day how I’d feel if it happened. I personally think it is probably a lateral move at…worst but unprecedented in #Texans history.

    I’ll say that’s not what I’ve heard.

    A "source" has passed on some info about the #Texans Dont want to be the fake breaking news guy. If I see it starting to line up as I was told it would I’ll drop it. But until then…..

    From what I was told it could be a major announcement before the day is up.

    Sauce Sports:

    I cannot guarantee anything. Source is a very credible person.

    Nothing to with Clemson or Alabama.

    A possible major change that will affect the future of the franchise.

    What I heard is at the time of receiving the text, Bill O'Brien was in a meeting with Cal McNair, discussing the future of the franchise. He(Cal) may be different than what we're anticipating. Rumor has it Cal got O'Brien on the chopping block. Not satisfied. He'll have to be pleading for his job. Rumor has the Texans in pursuit of Jim Harbaugh. I found it interesting. I didn't want to throw it out there. I'm not that guy.

    Can't see Harbaugh happening and honestly what has he ever done to deserve another shot at coaching in the NFL?

    Bill O Brien getting fired or being on the chopping block is fake news.

    They just hired Gaine to pair with O’Brien on a team that is full of personnel issues.

    That guy doesn’t have a source.

    Why kill the only hope that the team could go somewhere next year? Let us hold out hope a bit longer before hit with the crushing news that we are stuck with the worst head coach in the NFL.

    I tune in to watch sauce sports from time to time. Honcho is just a fan, I don’t think he has any sources.

    But he’s not that type of guy who makes up rumors, so who knows.

    I think if the rumors were true, we would’ve heard something from Adam schefter by now.

    This kind of information is something that would get out by now if it was remotely true.

    Keep in mind that Billy O feeds Rappaport information. Bill would get picked up by someone rather quickly.

    I doubt any of this is true, but Harbaugh was pretty innovative in his use of Kaepernick in the NFL. He also proved his coaching impact by taking a terrible team and making them great, and then seeing how far they fell once he left.
