Lovie Smith hired as Texans head coach

#28      
Lovie much better suited for the pro ranks than college. He may surprise folks but There were probably other candidates that may have been a better fit. Anyway, no ill feelings and wish him well.

Good question. I had no idea he was in the picture until yesterday. His hiring would make zero sense with his lack of coaching at any level above high school.

Looks like McCown and Easterby, the VP of player personnel are very tight. Apparently McCown interviewed for the HC job last year that David Culley got.

Seems like the Texans are a bit of clown show right now…

No bit, they are a clown show. Easterby is a weirdo and was nowhere near qualified when he got the Texans job.

Anyone have the Texans GMs phone number? I need to call him. Lol
Apparently you need to give him the number of a fixer. He must have gotten caught in a ‘compromising’ situation…

I live in Houston, I hate the Texans, hated how Watson treated women. I always want them to lose. Laughed when Lovie got hired,,,thought about the ignorant NFL quagmire that recycles frigging coaches through different cities...Eric Beniemy once again means nothing to any front office. Every once in a while you have to see there is a gottdamn cesspool of bullshiat around the NFL. and every sport...all tainted

Definitely a political selection…imo, their thinking is let’s give away the next few years and fix it then. I just hope Lovie proves them and everyone here discounting his accomplishments with the gawd awful Bears! And, by the way, Illinois sucked too!

Lovie’s demands:

1) No recruiting!
2) Unlimited jobs for family members
3) Seven hour workdays
4) Assistants can have only NFL coaching experience, or almost no coaching experience
5) We will not pressure opposing QBs
6) We will not alter our decades-old defensive schemes for any reason
7) Turnovers win games! At least twice a year
8) I’m not saying any more to the press than necessary, if that
9) Just so we’re clear—no recruiting!
10) If I have a coordinator vacancy, I’ll just be that coordinator. That doesn’t mean I’ll be doing any additional work though
11) Field goals, field goals, field goals. And if the field goal is risky, punt
12) I don’t really do social media but beard memes are fine
13) My son is allowed to punch people
14) Tight ends will not be targeted in my offense
15) Let’s talk about the terms of the buyout

Texans: We don’t have a problem with any of this
Superb!!!!

All this begs the question, will they hire a new defensive coordinator, or . . . will Mr. Wonderful fill both roles?
