    Not sure where to put this but who you got Houston?

    Fertitta:
    - Cheap as hell and highly unlikely he'll ever want to pay Luxury Tax.
    - Ran Morey out of town.
    - 2 Superstars want out.
    - Political beliefs could be issue with future FAs.

    McNair:
    - Fired GM only to get tampering charges threatened against them.
    - Promoted BoB to GM and let him make possibly the worst trade in the history of Houston sports.
    - No 1st or 2nd round pick, $8.5M over the cap.
    - Keeping Easterby despite multiple reports that GMs and HCs wouldn't take the job because of him.

    Drayton?

    Adams?

    Your poll is incomplete, and I know I'm not including some of the 70's Stros.

    Going only with current owners and don’t think Crane would be competitive. Not sure the age demographic on this site but if included, don’t see how you can beat Adams.

    Texans are easily the worst run organization in this city. Its laughable that you guys don't see that.

    That’s where my vote went. Fertitta at least has an objective albeit one that is not good for us. Cal just seems absolutely clueless.

    Until Tilman allows Harden to be traded for John Wall and a 2027 second round pick, the award goes to Trust Fund Cal.

    Easy, fertita. He also continues to try to insult our intelligence thinking saying he’s gonna spend is gonna make us believe it

    I chose Fertitta. He tanked a championship level team into a laughing stock in two years. Texans have always been mediocre and a joke.

    The Rockets, at least, want to win.

    The Texans organization is trolling it's entire fanbase

    Was gonna post this in the Texans forum but...

    - Cal as a grown adult who asked the GM of his father’s pro sports team to be the Godfather of his child.

    - Got talked into firing Brian Gaine one year into his five year contract by BoB and Easterby. These same guys “attempted” to bring in Caserio but f*cked it up so bad to the point where the Pats threatened him with tampering charges.

    - Cal then proceeded to promote one of the very guys who talked him into it and watched him run the entire roster straight into the f*cking ground.

    - And just when you think he came to his right mind and fired BoB. He proceeds to promote the other guy who orchestrated this **** show. Then doubles down saying he is gonna work with the next GM and HC.

    John McClain said...TODAY...that McNair told him the new GM will make the decision on Easterby. He said Schefty is not correct or misunderstood.

    100% honest question: Who do you believe? McClain or Schefter?

    This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

    The guy that the guy helps hire gets to decide if the guy who helped hire him gets fired?

    Actually, it makes a lot of sense if you've ever followed the Texans.

    Both are top tier trash, but as astounding as this sounds I would take McNair.

    Cal is an idiot, but if somehow they stumbled on the right people to run the organization he would sit back, write checks, and let them do their job.

    Tildo will neither sit back or write checks, he will be perpetually handicapping the franchise.

    To this day, Godfather Rick still baffles my mind. Got me thinking how Bob McNair was modeling the Texans franchise after the Steelers with continuity, long tenures, and passing down the franchises to their children. Think of NFL legacy families like Halas, Rooney, Mara, Hunt, Ford, Brown, etc.

    Bud Adams' hellspawn still own the Titans. On the NBA side I can only think of Dolan that inherited the Knicks.

    Easterby is gonna pull some **** like marrying into the family through his kids. And future generations of Houstonians will be stuck with the McNairs until the end of time.

    The only correct answer here. There is no better choice here.
