And why would that be?? Just because he comes from the patriots and fans are tired of trying to be like one of the greatest franchises in NFL history??
Cause it does not work. Imagine how many other sht franchise like ours grab ex patriots personnel trying to imitate them and fail horribly?
Pure stupidity, there's no excuse for this kind of stupid. They should've just traded him when he ****ing asked for it
Aw, looks like Pancakes has started heading for the liferafts and stopped drinking the Culley koolaid: TEXAS SPORTS NATION//JOHN MCCLAIN McClain: Texans GM Nick Caserio doesn’t owe coach David Culley a 2022 commitment Texans general manager Nick Caserio declined an opportunity Tuesday morning to commit to coach David Culley for the 2022 season. That was the smart thing for Caserio to do. The Texans are the worst team in the NFL, and it would be foolish for Caserio to commit to Culley, any other member of the Texans’ coaching staff, or just about any player on the roster with five games left in this miserable season. Going into Sunday’s game against Seattle at NRG Stadium — the nation’s largest mausoleum — it would be preposterous for Caserio to make any proclamations about 2022. He’s overseeing a 2-10 team that is coming off its second shutout and appears to be on warp speed to a 2-15 record and the first pick in the draft. By the way, 15 losses would be the most in team history. And keep in mind that after 2-14 finishes, late owner Bob McNair fired head coaches Dom Capers and Gary Kubiak. You can take it to the bank that big changes are coming in the offseason, but nobody knows today what most of those changes will be. Former Texans nose tackle Seth Payne, one half of Sports Radio 610’s “Payne and Pendergast Show,” asked Caserio if Culley would return next season. Caserio wisely dodged a direct answer, basically saying everyone and everything would be evaluated after the season when changes are made. “I’m not going to give any commentary about what’s going to happen after the season,” Caserio said. “Our focus right now is getting ready for the Seahawks. “I’ve been put in charge to run the football operation and oversee all aspects of it. Anything we do in the offseason, from evaluating our team, where our program is headed, we’ll have those conversations after the season.” Before anyone gets excited about the possibility of Jack Easterby, the executive vice president of football operations, getting fired, keep this in mind: Easterby answers to the McNairs and not Caserio. If Caserio decides his close friend needs to go, which isn’t likely no matter how many times you ask Santa to make it happen, he’ll have to make a convincing argument to Janice, Hannah and Cal McNair before that decision could be made. Like it or not, Easterby has the full support of the McNair family. Based on how rotten the Texans have been in the past two home losses to the Jets and Colts, everybody but Caserio and Easterby could worry about their job being in jeopardy. When the McNair family gave Caserio a six-year contract, they knew the team was undergoing a top-to-bottom rebuild. That doesn’t happen in one offseason or even two. It could be 2023 — if Caserio makes a lot of shrewd decisions — before the Texans become competitive again. “Some of the things that have taken place aren’t really that surprising,” Caserio told Sports Radio 610. “I knew it was going to be a massive undertaking. We’re kind of in the infantile stages.” Technically, the Texans aren’t the worst team in the league, but anyone who’s watched them knows they are, despite their shocking upset victory at Tennessee. They’re 2-10 and tied with Jacksonville, a half-game better than Detroit (1-10-1). The Lions, who beat Minnesota on Sunday with no time left on the clock for their first victory, have five losses by seven or fewer points. They’ve lost four games by three or fewer points. The Texans have three one-score losses, the same as the Jaguars. But the Texans have been beaten by 10, 15, 40, 28, 26, 15 and 31 points. That’s an average of 23.7 points a game. Caserio said all the right things about the team’s performance, the state of the franchise, who’s to blame (everybody), and the direction the Texans hope to be headed (north). “Nobody’s happy with where we are,” he said. “None of it’s been good enough. We haven’t played well enough. We haven’t coached well enough. I haven’t done a good enough job from a team-building perspective. “Collectively, we all haven’t performed well enough, and all of us have to take responsibility.” It’s not like we went into the season with high expectations for the Texans. They were projected to be the worst team in the NFL, and they’ve lived down to those expectations. But it’s not asking too much for them to be competitive, not get blown out, and not lose at home to another moribund team like the Jets. Caserio has made so many changes to the roster that players have to wear name tags at NRG Stadium. If we think he’s made a lot of changes since he was hired the first week of January, just wait until he’s driving a plow through the locker room in 2022. Considering how bad the Texans are on offense, it won’t be surprising if all or most of the coaches are given pink slips. The Texans are last in scoring, last in point differential, last in yards, last in rushing but — thanks to the Bears — next to last in passing. With rookie Davis Mills replacing Tyrod Taylor at quarterback, it’s inevitable the Texans will finish last in passing, too. That’s a hat trick for total yards, yards rushing and yards passing. “The standard we have is high,” Caserio said. “It hasn’t been good enough, and that’s all of our responsibility. I’ll take responsibility as someone who oversees the entire football operation.” Looking at how low this franchise is today, a rocket ship from NASA might be the only way to reach that high standard. john.mcclain@chron.com
Culley is gonna get one more year (another tank year, but at least it'll be slightly more interesting) and then he's gone. This was all by design. Nobody wanted this job and the Texans knew what was coming so they kept their powder dry. The Texans will actually be a fairly attractive job heading into 2023. Lots of picks and a decent salary situation. The trick is we have no control over who will be available in the HC search come Q4 of 2022. I think Caserio will probably tab Josh McDaniels, who will be nearing the end of his contract with the Patriots. I'd keep an eye on Brian Daboll as well.
I’m hoping for McDaniels and any fan would be foolish to not want McDaniels as the next HC. The only true obstacle is if he wants to take over in New England…and stay with Mac Jones…also if McDaniels leaves who takes over at New England belichick son??
Man....I wish these guys still existed. How fun would it be to see them drawing a more lively fanbase at games than what's happening off of Kirby.
******* Culley. He has no business winning that game. Not only can he not win properly, he doesn't know how to lose properly.
As SOON as we brought in the relatively unknown Culley, I thought this. He's there just to bridge the gap between us being good, then he can ride off into the sunset and say he was a head coach once. Nobody wanted this job, with this roster, and this ownership... You make a very good point though, that after next season, who will be available? I think it'll be a lot of the same guys that are out there now. I would love to fast-forward to all of that and see which Patriots outcast we bring in next.... LOL
