    We had numerous discussions with countless coaches, executives, and players, and what revealed itself is that there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that'll be a home run. And so that'll make it a 4-0 ballgame.

    “We had numerous discussions with countless coaches, executives, and players, and what revealed itself is that we hired the guy we had no plans of interviewing, let alone hiring and settled for our 7th choice. We had 3 finalists, none whom were Lovie Smith, then we had no finalists so we arrived at hiring the DC Lovie Smith. He’s given us complete control of his staff, will allow Nick on the headset on game days and will allow Jack down on the sidelines during the game. We will keep him for 2 years or so and then dump him. It’s great day to be a Texan.” — Nick Caserio

    Lovie won’t have wild eyed looks during press conferences…he knows what the facility layout is …familiarity breeds efficiency. He would never lose the locker room the way the prior HC did . . . Absolutely great hire. How we got there is questionable but even if we went over the mountain and thru the woods , we arrived at a good decision and even great one when you look at Pep not leaving in combination…interesting about the draft and the influence Lovie will have on who to target

    I deleted it but was just joking about someone knowing all our weaknesses. I think that's pretty universal knowledge now.

    Texans aren't racists... They're idiots... Which seems to be more moral for any entity but them..

    This 1000%

    Continuity is key
    Stability is key
    Familiarity is key

    We are still laying the foundation and Lovie will take it to the next level.

    Now time for Nick to nail the draft and free agency.

    The real fun begins now

    What exactly will it take for you to lose faith in the organization?

    Recap.
    Hired a Black incompetent coach to look like progressive franchise as its gonna b a sht season anyways.

    Fired black coach a season later. Cause it was clearly a bad hire.

    Interview a bunch of coaches
    3 finalists.
    Gannon = sure
    Flores = sure, but unlikely due to lawsuit
    McCown = fk no, but man Texans aka easterbunny/caserio really wanted

    To avoid a lawsuit and bad optics
    Let's just promote in-house our black DC instead after all that work. What's the point of finalist and sham interviews? I do not know.

    What a dumbass poorly run franchise and frankly makes me question caserio capability to save this franchise from being sht.

    It was a pivot hire.

    What's the point of having interviews and finalists if u just gonna promote in-house.

    Texans probably thinking they r quite clever promoting a black DC to hc is gonna help them avoid critcism.

    Press conference tomorrow will be a total of 10 minutes with Cal answering 2 softball pre-screened questions from the press and Easterby will be nowhere in sight.

    Yeah but I like it. Outside of making you free the truth either comforts or offends.

    At the end of the presser they will act like they're taking one more question from a random fan but it's really RudyC via facetime with the question written ahead of time by the 'vp of footballa operations' guy.

    What a joke of an organization.

    Miami ****s up and fires Brian Flores. He was right there for the taking to turn this franchise around.

    Instead, go the Texans way - **** up interviews and pull off a shitty move to keep this franchise in turmoil.

    **** McNair, Caserio, and Leasterby.
