No players will want to be here. It will be a team of last resort to stay in the nfl. Feel bad for the players that get drafted

It needs to be sold.

NFL should not allow inherited ownership.

For the Cowboys, that'd be great!!!

    One of the interesting things about Flores is his cultural background. He is the child of Garifuna immigrants from Central America. Their history is fascinating -- way back around 1720 their ancestors

  • all he has to do his walk into the interview holding a bible 

  • The Texans don't seem like a franchise concerned or even aware of how they are perceived. They are blinded by their own incompetence.

I'm just here to watch it burn. And instead of calling the fire department, Jack Easterby dialed Exxon Mobil for more gas. You love to see the self-immolation of this gang of absolute fucking turds.

Former NFL quarterback Josh McCown is in Houston today for a second interview with the #Texans about their head coaching job, sources tell me and @MikeGarafolo. McCown has told the team he’s all-in. Now, he’s the first known finalist.


his bible study game must be very strong

Josh is a big Fellowship of Christian Athletes guy. Jack is stiff as granite. 

Awesome i hope they hire Josh. Should drive ticket demand thru the retractable roof that stays shut. Long live Cal. Ive come to accept the fact the Texans aren't going to be anything respectable for awhile.

Houston Texans giving Josh McCown - yes, the QB - a second interview for head job

JOHN BRICE       18 HOURS AGO

Josh McCown has more than 100 career games in the NFL as a quarterback, and less than five years ago had a 13-game, nearly 3,000-passing yards season for the New York Jets.

This weekend, McCown is back in the NFL spotlight – as a prime candidate for the Houston Texans’ head coaching job.

Though McCown never has coached, he’s back in Houston this weekend for a second round of formal interviews with the Texans’ organization, per multiple reports, for the current vacancy.

This, mind you, after McCown was on the Texans’ roster – signed in November 2020 – and interviewed in January 2021 for the head coach’s position that eventually went to David Culley.

The Texans did not release McCown from his playing contract until March 2021. The organization fired by the Texans Jan. 13 after the franchise languished in a 4-13 season that was riddled with off-the-field controversy surrounding quarterback DeShaun Watson.

Sources close to one of the other candidates to have already interviewed with the Texans told FootballScoop that the perception is that McCown quickly is emerging as a top target if not the Houston franchise’s top choice for the job.

A Texas native who starred for one season at Sam Houston State after he started his career at Southern Methodist, McCown spent time with a dozen different NFL franchises and threw for more than 17,700 yards in 180 career games.

Among other candidates known to have interviewed with the Texans about their vacancy include former Dolphins head coach Brian Flores, Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell, Chargers offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi and former NFL wideout Hines Ward, currently a college assistant coach. New England Patriots defensive coordinator Jerod Mayo also has been linked to the Texans’ opening. 

 

What a embarrassment. This is why I have never been able to connect with the Texans after the oilers. I tried hard even up to 2020 and now they might hire a head coach who’s never coached? What in the fuck. 

This whole shit show sure makes Houston sports radio more entertaining.

Well to be fair, the owner, GM, and whatever the fuck title Easterfuck has aren’t qualified for their jobs, so why not the coach? Sounds to me like you hate Jesus, bro….

Josh McCown is the favorite because he is a Christian.

It has nothing to do with football. The Texans are the megachurch of the NFL.

Well I’m writing them a strongly worded letter of leaving as a fan. That should handle it.

This satisfies the Rooney Rule.  Prepare for a McCown announcement any day now.
I think the Rooney was used on Hines Ward. That's the only explanation for that interview.

Maybe they deke all of us and hire O'Connell or Gannon instead of McCown or Flores?.....

I hope they hire him because I enjoy seeing that organization implode.

Is it really an implosion at this point? Seems like the natural state….

So the ones they've had two interviews with are McCown, Flores, O'Connell, and Gannon?  Anyone else?

For as much as you claim to not care about the Texans, you seem to pop up on every page of every Texans thread to remind us how much you don’t care or aren’t a fan.

It’ll be one of these 3

He’s probably like a lot us wanting/trying to be a fan but they make it so damn hard to be one

mrs. sunshine is watching the Bachelor and it looks like he’s taken the ladies to the Texans facilities for attempted fun. It must be his way of saying his dick doesn’t work and letting them all down easy

Shit at this point, I would take B'oB back. He spent a year learning from Satan.

Here is an article "fantasizing" about potential buyers of the Texans. I'd love to see the Manning's buy the team.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/who-could-buy-the-houston-texans/ar-AATmWe1?ocid=hplocalnews

 

The Manning’s don’t have near the money to buy an NFL team by themselves. They could be like Magic with the Dodgers. A small stakeholder acting as a face of the franchise. 

Agreed, but I'd bet that the Manning's would be a great face for the franchise.  They would do things the right way. 

I guessing we can write off Flores getting another NFL job anytime soon

Yup.  Here I am again.  Don't care.

Can’t say I understand the timing of this one. Wouldn’t it be better to wait until all Head Coaches have been hired (and hopefully you among them), then file suit? With the way the NFL has shown itself willing to collude to blackball people who confront the establishment, seems like there’s no way he gets a gig after this…

Maybe he and his agent feel this will HELP his candidacy in some way? Or he already knows he won’t be getting hired?

He knows he's not getting hired. 

 

Yeah bold move by Flores suing before other teams fill their spot. He probably would've gotten one but people usually don't like hiring people that are actively suing them (the NFL = the owners).

Also, he's gonna need a lot more evidence than texts from BB thinking the Giants wanted Daboll before conducting other interviews. Defense attorney can explain that away pretty easily ("BB was misinformed" "Daboll was the leader but nothing was decided until after the Flores interview" blah blah blah). 

But yeah, welcome Josh McCown to Houston I guess ugh.

lol, someone who was acting in the interest of compliance was "noncompliant"

Texans’ management has to be loving this Flores stuff. Gives them a somewhat plausible excuse, at least in their addled minds, for not hiring him. 

Flores must have decided he didn't want to be an NFL coach. That's a shame.

They should just get it over with and put Easterby in blackface and name him head coach. He can do a medley of Mamie and The Old Rugged Cross at halftime, kind of like how small town high school players march in the band at halftime in their uniform…

This. Skip the farce of not hiring Flores by using the lawsuit as justification. Josh fucking McCowan 

I heard sometime today on 97.5 that he had acknowledged he is unlikely to get another coaching job in the NFL and was doing it for the others that come behind him.  I have no reason not to believe Flores as I can't imagine someone would commit career suicide for no reason. 

The NFL can explain away the text from BB very easily...he's old and get people mixed up all the time.  He clicked on the first Brian he saw in his contacts.  But what if that is actually what happened?  Could Flores be overreacting to simple mistake from his former mentor?  I don't think so at this point, but I'm sure there will be more info released soon.

If he gets hired his damages argument takes a huge hit.

Cal wasn’t ever hiring Flores. I am halfway surprised Texans weren’t named in the suit.  Luck of being too inept to have hired their new white coach yet I guess.

Yep, there's no way Flores would file suit if he believed he had a realistic chance at landing the Texans gig. The lawsuit does make it highly unlikely that Calserio will hire McCown now because I can't imagine the NFL wanting the shitstorm that would follow if they gave the job to a white guy former backup QB wiith no coaching experience after firing Culley and passing on Flores.

More likely Tom Brady if it was after 2019 season but before FA signing period of 2020.

I don't think Flores is that desperate to coach in the NFL again. Look at our other candidates, Flores is in a completely different tier.
