    This is absolutely correct.
    He wants the Texans to be racist so bad that he’s willing to put others careers at risk just to have a chance at “proving” it.

    After all the idiotic things the franchise has done over the past 2 years some people still defend them like no other. It's ok to admit these mofos are in over their heads either from incompetence or wanting to force some heavenly culture.



    the reaction when the news people broke about Desahun wanting out, Harden wanting out or the D hop trade was; 'it's not real' ' click bait'. 'They just hate Houston' My favorite: ' disgruntled employee'
    Nope. Texans uppity ups are just jackasses who think they can outsmart everyone only for it to blow back in their faces. This blowing up in their faces, like the preseason shenanigans, is actually good. But like Rhino17 said Nick was along more than willing to be along for the ride. They're going to have to earn trust.

    Yep, you got me. I want ownership to sell. If that makes me a piece of crap then so be it.

    Also, McCown was going to be hired. That part was real. Numerous journalists said they were going to hire McCown and then plans changed after the Flores lawsuit. It was an open secret.

    Where did I say I don't agree with Flores? I think he has a valid case.

    You want it to be true that McCown was going to be hired. Those same journalists didn’t know KOC was interviewed. They don’t have any inside information, they were making guesses that would make the Texans look bad. Just like you.
    And yes. You’re a piece of crap.
    You would rather someone be racist to someone so they can sell the team than just move on and support another team.
    You’re pathetic honestly

    It's funny to me that you would support a piss-poor franchise because you are so eager to quell someone's legitimate complaints of discrimination. That honestly says a lot about who you are.

    Legitimate claims?
    Only a fool would believe his are legitimate.
    Are there issues in the league? Absolutely.

    But Flores is trying to get something because he feels entitled to something that he didn’t deserve. You want the Texans to be tied into it for your selfish and hateful reasons.
    I’d rather support incompetence than want for others to be discriminated against like you.
    You’re a **** person.

    This is the equivalent of saying I agree there's racism but when a black man cries about it. He making sht up.

    This Smith hired is shady as fk. He was never In contention for this job, literally radio silence. All of a sudden he gets hired when the lawsuit went out.

    But sure his complaints has "no merit" cause he's a black man making noise.

    The caserio hiring was shady as sht. We got punished a season b4 and then the sham interview process b4 hiring him due to the using of easterbunny.

    I'm not surprised if this was a pivot hire.

    Yeah, that’s what I said. Exactly what I said.
    Stay your ass in your lane. Flores is acting like a b****. I hope he gets destroyed in court for this sham of a case.
    He got fired because he didn’t get along with his black GM. Got mad because he didn’t get the job he wanted (Giants) when another highly qualified offensive guy got the job. Then gets mad because he wasn’t offered the Texans job after he filed a suit against the entire league.

    All you have are your assumptions and media voices that hate on Texans nonstop.

    Texans haven’t came out and said any of this, there were never a finalist list. There was never a favorite from them. In fact KOC, Gannon and Flores were all rumored to be favorites from the same media types throughout the process.

    What a bunch of revisionist bs.

    Texans announced themselves via Twitter that they completed second discussion with McCown Flores, and Gannon.

    All of a sudden the lawsuit went out and then Smith got the job. Stop acting like everyone is out to get our shtty franchise.

    And?
    What does them announcing they’ve finished interviews with those candidates have to do with interviewing other candidates?

    No mentioned of lovie whatsoever. Lawsuit hits and then lovie got hired. It took a fking month to narrow it down to those 3 folks. What a coincidence that Smith got hired.

    And?
    You’re making assumptions still.
    Lovie was in house, and was being consulted.
    Who said they narrowed it down to those 3?
    The media did. Not the Texans

    Smith wasn't a candidate for head coach at the start of the process. Listen to the interviews with Smith after he was hired. He revealed this. The question is, why fire Culley in the first place? I believe they had Flores in mind, but then the lawsuit happened. There just weren't a lot of other qualified coaches who want the job. They were reportedly moving for another head coach, but Caserio wanted to make the coaching hires and that coach (Gannon) turned them down. McCown, Easterby's choice was getting a lot of criticism in the aftermath of the Flores lawsuit, so they were stuck. After weeks and weeks, they did not have any of the coaches they preferred available and Smith was left to fulfill the Culley roll. Again.
    The tell that Smith was not initially part of the head coaching search was that Caserio was non-committal on him even returning in the press conference after the season ended.

    gannon didn’t turn them down. Rappaport and Wilson have both come out and said that internet rumor was false.

    “Why fire Culley”
    Because he was awful. The man admitted he couldn’t keep up with the game decisions. He was awful at game management and awful doing interviews. He was embarrassing. Had to go.

    i do think you’re probably right that Flores was someone they thought they could replace him with or Josh McDaniels. Flores preferred Giants job and then the lawsuit took him out. McDaniels never gave them a shot.

    so in that sense they probably got stuck. They then turned to Lovie. They definitely didn’t go into this expecting to hire Lovie Smith.

    I do think the process looks worse than it was because of their lack of coordination with the media. Local media is brutal if you aren’t leaking to them.

    Interesting, I never did think of that. My whole analogy is that McCowen should've never been apart of the HC process. After a yr under Culley, why go back to someone with less coaching experience than the guy you fired. At least Culley had been a position coach for 20yrs, McCowen was fresh off the streets and to potentially hire someone with no experience just because he gets along with everyone or speaks well, is idiotic!

    I think it's known that they were forced to hire Lovie, after the Flores claims surfaced. It would've been a horrible look on the Texans and the NFL.

    However it turned out, I thought it was a good decision, which is why I think they were FORCED. The Texans are not known for good decision making

    Flores says they were going to hire Flores until the lawsuit. You say they were going to hire McCown until the lawsuit. That would indicate that you don’t agree with Flores.
