Took chi to the sb in ‘06.

This has been updated to say him and Flores are the 2 finalists.

 

[‘Mondre]

I would feel out Watson before taking it.

The Texans are a mess and it would be a shame for him to fall into that trap then get run out of town as a scapegoat.

Loving the beard.

Houston taking one for the team?

 

[Tunescribe]

I like Lovie's beard. They should hire Flores, though.

 

[jah]

It would be so absurd for them to hire Lovie over Flores (or really anyone, for that matter). They're hell bent on hiring the worst possible option every year.

Why? That bridge has been burned.

 

[‘Mondre]

Why? That bridge has been burned.

Because he’s talented. Has it?

 

[patman12]

Always thought Lovie got blamed in Chicago for the failings of and interference from the McCaskey family.

Kind of hard to hire a guy who is suing you.

Was this really the plan all the time? Fire David Culley to promote Lovie Smith? Not saying it won't lead to improvement but seems a bizarre decision to make if you're not gonna announce it straight after letting Culley go. It reads like they scouted out a more high profile coach and didn't get any bites so they went with their DC. Strange but the Houston Texans seem like such a poorly run organisation and it starts at the very top with the lunatic family who own the franchise.

Cal McNair is a clueless, bumbling idiot.

It’s possible no one else would take the job. Choice 2 appeared to be a 20 year vet QB who never coached.
Some jobs are so bad you have to seek out someone who even wants it.

I might be the only one that gets that.

Nope

I made a similar joke in the other thread.... so you are not alone....

Houston taking one for the team?

No one was talking about Smith until very late Sunday and then, all of a sudden, he's the leading candidate.

Yeah, some behind-the-scenes phone calls were made.

Fun Fact: "Lovie" is his real name while the character's real name was Eunice.

 

[Kontradiction]

Terrible hire.

 

[Pape]

based on watson has said, and per Caserios comments, yes.
