Spoiler Not endorsing all of these guys but it's the usual names mentioned/previous head coaches. Of course if Jack is hiring & hiring who he likes, is friends with, is familiar with (aka Patriots) then it doesn't matter. Hell, it doesn't matter anyways. NCAA Dabo Swinney (Clemson HC) Lincoln Riley (Oklahoma HC) Urban Meyer (TV analyst) Nick Saban (Alabama HC) Brian Kelly (Notre Dame HC) Jim Harbaugh (Michigan HC) Dan Mullen (Florida HC) Ryan Day (Ohio State HC) Kirby Smart (Georgia HC) James Franklin (Penn State HC) Herm Edwards (Arizona State HC) Marvin Lewis (Arizona State DC) David Shaw (Stanford HC) Kyle Whittingham (Utah HC) Matt Campbell (Iowa State HC) Chris Klieman (Kansas State HC) Luke Fickell (Cincinnati HC) Gary Patterson (TCU HC) Mike Leach (Mississppi State HC) Mike Gundy (Oklahoma State HC) Gus Malzahn (Auburn HC) PJ Fleck (Minnesota HC) Greg Schiano (Rutgers HC) Paul Chryst (Wisconsin HC) Jim Leonhard (Wisconsin DC) Chip Kelly (UCLA HC) NFL Coordinators Brian Daboll (Bills OC) Leslie Frazier (Bills DC) Josh McDaniels (Patriots OC) Greg Roman (Ravens OC) Don "Wink" Martindale (Ravens DC) Nick Sirianni (Colts OC) Matt Eberflus (Colts DC) Jay Gruden (Jaguars OC) Arthur Smith (Titans OC) Pat Shurmur (Broncos OC) Eric Bieniemy (Chiefs OC) Mike Kafka (Chiefs QBs/PGC) Kellen Moore (Cowboys OC) Jason Garrett (Giants OC) Freddie Kitchens (Giants TEs) Jim Schwartz (Eagles DC) Jack Del Rio (WFT DC) Chuck Pagano (Bears DC) Mike Pettine (Packers DC) Dirk Koetter (Falcons OC) Joe Brady (Panthers OC) Pete Carmichael (Saints OC) Joe Lombardi (Saints QBs) Dennis Allen (Saints DC) Dan Campbell (Saints AHC/TEs) Byron Leftwich (Bucs OC) Todd Bowles (Bucs DC) Vance Joseph (Cardinals DC) Kevin O'Connell (Rams OC) Mike LaFleur (49ers PGC) Robert Saleh (49ers DC) Brian Schottenheimer (Seahawks OC) Ken Norton Jr. (Seahawks DC) Possible "hot seat" coaches Adam Gase (Jets) Matt Patricia (Lions) Doug Marrone (Jaguars) Dan Quinn (Falcons) *Not likely but would trade for Sean Payton, if for whatever reason he looks to move on/Brees retires
Apologize for him ****ing up and giving an idiot too much power and waiting too long to realize it? Naw....

Easterby, I’m told, very much has McNair’s ear, and word is that was a factor in all this. The EVP of football ops—whose reputation league-wide isn’t in a great place right now—also has some strong connections to keep an eye on. The first and most obvious one is to Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. McDaniels had planned to bring Easterby with him to Indianapolis in 2017, before his deal with the Colts fell apart. Easterby is also close to, and shares an agent with, Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio. The two, you’ll remember, were together at New England’s ring ceremony in June 2018, just as Gaine was being dismissed. The expectation at that point was that Caserio—who’s also very close with O’Brien, as is McDaniels—would join his friends in Houston as the new Texans GM. But the Patriots blocked it from happening. Now, a fair question resulting from all this would be whether Caserio and/or McDaniels would go there after what happened to O’Brien. And maybe the most intriguing name here is one outside the Patriots' extended family. I’m told Easterby, a South Carolina native, is very close with Clemson coach Dabo Swinney. Swinney, of course, won his first national title at the school with Houston’s Deshaun Watson as his quarterback, and has repeatedly compared Watson, as an athlete and a figure within his program, to Michael Jordan.
Well, they're literally coaching for their jobs. Either to be retained by the next HC or to get jobs elsewhere next year. With O'Brien gone, nobody is safe.
@Rudyc281 Do you think McDaniels did a good job with the Broncos? What about his one-year stint with the Rams (2011)? On January 11, 2009, the Denver Broncos named McDaniels their head coach, replacing Mike Shanahan. The Broncos introduced McDaniels, who agreed to sign a four-year, $8 million contract, as their head coach in a press conference the next day. McDaniels's tenure with the Broncos was marred early on by a controversy involving an alleged trade offer from the Patriots involving the team's quarterback, Jay Cutler, which would have sent Matt Cassel to Denver. On March 9, 2009, according to ESPN, a conference call involving McDaniels, team owner Pat Bowlen and Cutler failed to resolve the issues. Cutler said he did not trust McDaniels and the organization following the trade controversy. 2009 season The Broncos started their first season under McDaniels with six straight wins, including an overtime win over the Patriots in Week 5, before suffering four straight losses. In the last game of the season, McDaniels and the Broncos still had a potential playoff berth on the line, but lost to the Kansas City Chiefs, 44–24, Denver's third straight home loss to a division opponent. That left the Broncos with an 8–8 season record. Controversy surrounded McDaniels for his benching of Pro Bowl wide receiver Brandon Marshall for the game due to disciplinary reasons; Marshall would be traded to the Miami Dolphins after the season. 2010 season McDaniels' second season in Denver ended with a 3–9 record. The Broncos lost to the Kansas City Chiefs on December 5, and on the next day, McDaniels was fired by the Broncos. Videotaping scandal On November 27, The Denver Post reported the Broncos were under investigation from the NFL, after it was reported that Steve Scarnecchia, the team's director of video operations hired by McDaniels in 2009, videotaped a San Francisco 49ers' walkthrough practice, during the teams' Week 8 game at Wembley Stadium in London, England. The same day, the NFL fined the Broncos and McDaniels $50,000 each, and Scarnecchia was fired as a result of the incident. Scarnecchia told NFL investigators he acted alone and "knew it was wrong" to tape the walkthrough practice, after the rest of the Broncos' staff had left the stadium. Scarnecchia later presented McDaniels with the six-minute video, but McDaniels declined to view it, and it was not shown to any other Broncos staff member, and therefore the NFL determined the Broncos had not gained a competitive advantage from it. An anonymous source alerted the Broncos on November 8, who conducted an internal investigation before alerting the NFL. NFL Security then began its investigation, which included a forensic analysis of the computer from which the recording was later deleted by Scarnecchia. Both the NFL and the Broncos determined that McDaniels knew nothing about the incident. However, the NFL fined McDaniels due to the fact that he did not immediately report the incident to the league office, as required by policy. The NFL also fined the Broncos, as "clubs are ultimately accountable for the conduct of their employees." McDaniels later issued the following statement: "I apologize for not promptly reporting the improper conduct of our video director before our game against the 49ers in London. The actions of this individual are in no way representative of the values and integrity held by myself, our players and coaches, and the entire Denver Broncos organization. I understand the punishment from the National Football League and support its commitment to the integrity of the game. We have addressed the situation internally to assure that nothing like this happens again." According to The Denver Post, the videotaping incident was a major factor in McDaniels' firing a week later; while the Broncos did not deem it something that merited being fired for cause, they considered his failure to report the incident "unforgivable." On February 6, 2018, McDaniels was announced as the new head coach of the Indianapolis Colts. However, McDaniels withdrew from the position on the same day and announced that he had decided to stay with the Patriots. After McDaniels' decision, which was met with backlash on Twitter and by ex-players and coaches, his long-time agent, Bob LaMonte, terminated his representation of McDaniels. You wanna keep Easterby, you're OK with McDaniels after being served a turd burger for 7 years by another ex-Patriot ... LOL I just can't. Romeo Crennel Eric Mangini Josh McDaniels Bill O'Brien Matt Patricia Brian Flores Joe Judge Turd after turd after turd after turd after turd. Why anyone would & why teams keep hiring Belichick assistants, I'll never know.
Disagree the right time was before he traded Clowney and traded for Tunsil. Hopkins was just the icing on the cake. He already did too much damage.
I was thinking about this earlier has all three Houston coaches ever been fired in the same calender year before.
Not sure what we're thanking him for TBH... Thank you for being an ******* to the people in/around NRG. Thank you for telling a fan "You suck too mother****er." Thank you for telling us week after week "Need to coach better, need to play better." Thank you for being a terrible GM. Thank you for scapegoating others when things went wrong. Thank you for 6[years/4 games] forgettable years. ...
It's hitting harder now than after the actual spite trade of Nuke. How difficult it is to find a hall of fame receiver? And you just gave him away at the young age of 27
this has to be the first time in Houston sports history that all three coaches are let go in the same year
If Cal doesn't fire Easterby I don't know what to say. They need to ****ing clean house and start fresh
