they can have him

then back up a dump truck of money to kingsbury, and a young qb coach to be mentored as the next of after kingsbury

They need to move on from Diggs.  He is a 31 year old receiver coming off an ACL repair.  It's a shame he got hurt because I think he could have made a huge difference this year but they need to get younger at the position.

Think it all depends on the price; seems like he’s bound for a one-year prove it deal wherever he signs, and we need at least one veteran in the WR room in addition to at least one in the draft…

I looked up the 2025 cap numbers and the reworked Diggs contract. I thought it was questionable at the time trading a 2nd round pick for Diggs (a potential malcontent), then even stupider that they cut years off Diggs's contract that Buffalo was pro-rating (since they had to eat the signing bonus portion of the contract). Then Caserio did the opposite with Mixon (extended him when he was in a prove-it contract year as an aging RB).

If they hadn't changed the Diggs contract, it would have been:
2024 - $18.5M;    2025 - $18.0M (only $3.5M was guaranteed, if Houston wanted to cut him this offseason)

They restructured it so Diggs was paid $22.5M in 2024, $20.8M of which was a signing bonus on fictitious 5 year voidable contract. That saved Houston around $11M in 2024 (to help sign Hunter, Al-Shaair, and Autry, perhaps) but puts $16.6M in dead money from Diggs on the 2025 cap. The capology websites project he has a free agent value around $13.4M/yr on a 1-3 yr deal. If he actually accepted a 1 year, $13M deal, I guess the Texans would get net savings by last year's restructuring. I'm not holding my breath that Diggs would accept a deal at that price, plus Houston only has $10.7M in cap space. Cutting Kenyon Green saves zero, and cutting Fairbairn costs you money against the cap. Cutting Tytus Howard and/or Shaq Mason as post-June 1 could free up some money, but of course you have to sign players better than them as replacements.

Shaq Mason post-June 1 would free up over $9MM; for reference, Landon Dickerson, the highest-paid guard in the NFL, had a $6MM cap hit in Year 1. It’s doable…

#Texans are moving on from team president Greg Grissom, according to league sources @KPRC

Interesting. I heard Hannah did not get along with Jamey Rootes (RIP) who was the original team president that Grissom replaced back in 2021.  Bob McNair had a great relationship with Rootes. 

 

While I think it's the right move, I'm surprised Demeco pulled the trigger. They don't want to waste Stroud's rookie contract 

First question is, are they staying in the McShanahan tree that about a third of the league is in now, or are they zagging?

Either way, the OC needs to be aligned with the OL coach

Please don’t take any of these routes 

#Texans internal candidates to replace Bobby Slowik expected to be considered: Jerod Johnson, Bill Lazor and Ben McDaniels.
An outside candidate who makes sense: #Saints  offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak
Would expect wide-ranging, thorough search

Firing the both the OL coach and assistant OL coach makes me think it won't be an internal hire

It'll be an outside OC who'll pick an OL coach who fits his offense, imo 

My biggest takeaway is reinforcing my belief in Ryans as a HC. He seems like such a good guy that I was afraid that he couldn’t make the tough choices, choosing loyalty over what’s best for the team. Box checked. 

OL coach absolutely needed to go. I'm surprised on Slowik although don't have a strong opinion either way.

per mcclain - Klint Kubiak almost joined Ryans' first staff with OC Bobby Slowik and QB coach Jerrod Johnson as passing game coordinator before going to Saints as OC. Maybe Ryans can hire Kubiak as OC and talk his dad out of retirement as a special adviser.

Honest question as I did not really pay attention to the Saints numbers this year, but how was their offense?

I am in agreement with those who believe we already have the guy we want in mind, and maybe already in agreement. We're well positioned and we have not been majorly fucking up under Caserio or Ryan's. I would bet it's Klint.

I saw a report saying that the assistant OL coach (don't remember who reported it) was also let go, but that appears to be inaccurate

Started off amazing and then Carr got hurt and it went to shit and stayed that way even after he got back.

Has to be already done and someone like kubiak makes sense since those teams are in HC transition

They are talking about trading Carr to the Giants also.

stroud on johnson ...

 

“I’ve known Jerrod since I was 16,” Stroud said about QB coach Jerrod Johnson. “One thing that I can say about Jerrod, you talk about somehow who knows how to play the position of quarterback and knows how to relay something, but also just a great person.#Texans #Sarge

 

Klint Kubiak seems like fan service to Texans fans nostalgic of the Gary Kubiak era (like so many Longhorn fans only view Mack Brown through rose colored glasses today). If you're going to fire your OC after 2 seasons (and the first being great), don't pull the trigger on mediocrity. I have no patience for slow developing zone runs that set up 6 yard passes to TE's.  I'd rather them hire Kevin Sumlin and pay him in vodka. Anyone else out there available from the Kingsbury/Leach branches of the spread offense coaching tree?

Thought pancakes McClain retired. Dude will forever stay attached to whatever team is dumb enough to let him "report".
Like idea of hiring kubiak. Know Gary is still held in very high regards within ownership

Am I the only one who remembers how dumb Jerrod Johnson was an 18 year old (relative to other 18 year old college recruits)? Aggy touted him as their version of VY, but his passing was mediocre (put up some stats in 2009 when they were losing big in games) and lost the QB job his senior year to Ryan Tannehill. I think he was 13-12 as their starting QB. I believe he never made any NFL team's active roster, and spent a total of like 2 weeks on the Bears practice squad one year. Maybe he turned into some offensive coaching and strategy savant after his time with in quality control with the Colts and Vikings, but promoting him to OC would get me about as excited as when they drafted Tytus Howard in the first round. Maybe they are trying to shore up fan support from the Humble area.

The coaching tree is fine. We need a better situational play caller and a group that can fix the worst interior line play I’ve ever seen. Get a couple of new IOL bodies, some new direction on that front, and a better play caller and we will feel a lot better about the offense.

I’m sure we could moneywhip Sonny Dykes…

Yes hiring from the coaching tree isn't necessarily a bad thing. Others in the tree can potentially do better than Slowik, and if you stay within the tree, Kubiak naturally will be a candidate 

Hiring from a different tree that has different (arguably better) rules for pass pro is intriguing though. I think the OL is set up for a different run scheme too, outside of the light center(s)

Glad they let Slowik go, but Kubiak comes from the same coaching tree. Hmm. 

 

Much better than the Belichik tree

he'll be on of this season or next. no idea where 

his ability to work with stroud is known 

Remember a year ago when people were very concerned that Bobby was going to be hired as the head coach somewhere?

Let it be elsewhere. CJ’s regression (albeit partially due to OL) in holding the ball too long and throwing more INTs is not a selling point for a promotion to OC.

No, because we’re trying to win big during CJ’s rookie contract and Jerrod’s experience post-being a crappy aggy qb as a quality control coach for Indy and Minnesota and whatever his involvement with the ‘24 Texans offense probably don’t justify being the OC in ‘25. He sounds like a likable guy. That should not warrant a promotion, but stupid shit like that happens all the time in coaching (see: Steve Belichick).

They need to go after Chip Kelly or Doug Pedersen 

The #Seahawks  are hiring #Saints  OC Klint Kubiak as their new offensive coordinator, sources told The Insiders.
