Which means the Texans will probably draft a center from Minnesota with the 2nd pick. I know hyperbole and shit, but you randomly chose a guy that’ll be a 2nd round pick. Schmitz is a damn good football player and someone I hope the Texans target if they can get him in the back half of the second or early third.

Schmitz is a damn good football player and someone I hope the Texans target if they can get him in the back half of the second or early third.Not random. I looked at the Espn draft rankings and he was the highest on all 3 lists.It wasn't a shot at him but about the Texans doing something real stupid. If he is as good as advertised, the Texans do need him just not in the 1st round.
January 26, 20232 yr Looks like we are waiting for Demeco or the 2 Eagles coordinators from the answers Hannah and Cal gave. If Payton is off the table, I want to bring Demeco home. Hannah is smoking hot. I’d hit it. She is definitely the brains in that bunch.

January 26, 20232 yr I think Texans have to take a QB. If not, you build a roster good enough to be stuck in 8-9 purgatory and then keep running through available FA QBs. Take the QB now and pray he is a top tier QB while you continue to build the roster over the next couple of years when he is primed to compete. Ala Cincinati Bengals

January 28, 20232 yr Happy to be wrong on DeMeco. If he can't fix this piece of shit, they're unfixable with current management/ownership.
January 29, 20232 yr There’s a lot of professional mock drafts coming out, based on early feedback from NFL sources, that have Stroud over Young as first QB taken and/or a non-QB taken at #1. I hope this is real and keeps up because: 1. Texans may end up with all QBs on the board at #2; 2. Texans may not feel pressure to take QB2 over a top rated defensive player at #2 if someone trades up to #1; 3. Texans could get some nice trade down offers from a team seeking QB1, QB2, or top rated player (Carter or Anderson) depending on how it plays out.
January 29, 20232 yr Sounds like it’s all but finalized. If the 49ers win today, will an announcement need to be delayed until after the Super Bowl?
January 29, 20232 yr DeMeco hopefully will be a good Head Coach if he goes to Houston. Wonder who/what OC and offense he'll want to have?? SIAP... Not projecting any Compensatory picks TEXANS draft capital for 2023 NFL Draft

Not projecting any Compensatory picks TEXANS draft capital for 2023 NFL Draft His OC/Offense is my biggest question mark. The game has changed. Yeah, you will still have to some 19-16 games, but overall teams need to score points. And most DCs are slow to understand that, IMO. Ultimately, that's how his tenure will be judged by his offense. 4 hours ago, TonyTexas said: I think Brian Griese will be in the mix. He’s the current 49er QB coach.

Better than another fired 2x retread. 4 hours ago, TonyTexas said: After a closer look, his lack of coaching experience should preclude him from coordinator consideration, particularly with a defensive head coach. That shouldn't matter. We've seen plenty of experienced guys spit the bit. A good coach will make it work. 3 hours ago, The Earl of Texas said: Per Rapp the Texans were very impressed by his proposed staff. Nice to hear. But then again, Cal and Hannah are involved and you know they don't know shit about football. Edited January 29, 20232 yr by Brothahorn
January 29, 20232 yr If we do take a QB at #2, I hope it's Young. Alabama's only hope this year on offense was Young making plays, and he made plenty. I think the Ohio State bias is real, and should be.
January 29, 20232 yr 5 hours ago, TonyTexas said: Sounds like it’s all but finalized. If the 49ers win today, will an announcement need to be delayed until after the Super Bowl? I read something recently that something like 18 assistants have coached a Super Bowl having already been hired as the head guy elsewhere; happened last year with O’Connel of the Chiefs (now Vikings). I don’t see any reason they won’t announce it immediately even if SF wins today. The 49ers staff and players are all (literally) pros, it won’t be a distraction at all and I’m sure they’d all be happy for him….
January 30, 20232 yr 50 minutes ago, Ghost of Stevie Ray said: Wouldn’t hate it if he was an Demeco’s staff. And it would certainly hyper-energize the fan base. But not sure why he would do it. He seems destined for a TV gig for lots more money and a fraction of the time commitment.
January 31, 20232 yr Happy for Texans! DeMeco is an excellent hire. I hope he brings some former great Texans players in as well if possible or just to add to morale to have those guys around. I don’t know what some of them are up to lately but it would be cool to have some of those players be involved somehow. Just make sure you have a solid OC and QB coach to develop the QB. That’s a huge deal obviously. It’s a home run hire imo.

No stress, work 20 weeks out of year, make millions.
January 31, 20232 yr IT’S OFFICIAL!!! Next to drafting Deshaun, this is the best move this franchise has ever made. Yes I know how it ended with Deshaun but at the time he was drafted we were all ecstatic. Edited January 31, 20232 yr by Macklemore
January 31, 20232 yr I loved Demeco as a player and it was pretty obvious he would be a coach and a really good one. I really hope he is given what he needs to succeed. The last two hires have been absolute jokes, in addition to not being given any support from ownership.
January 31, 20232 yr I remember Ryans from his time in the league, which wasnt that long ago. Did he have a bad injury or just hung them up early for other reasons? Seems like a super quick turnaround to becoming a HC.

He’s 38. So not super quick, but he’s young to be a HC. Rose up quick in the coaching ladder to be sure. Edited January 31, 20232 yr by The Earl of Texas

January 31, 20232 yr Love DeMeco. Happy for the diehard Texans fans that have had to put up with so much bullshit over the years. New staff plus new QB...finally a reason for a fair weather fan like me to start paying attention again.
