OT: Lovie Smith hired as Texans HC

[Sicilian]

If I were Lovie, I would have retired after Super Bowl 41. Any time you reach a SB with Rex Grossman as your QB, it's never going to get more impressive than that.

 

[jimnance]

I might be the only one that gets that.

Nah I got it.

MaryAnn no question.

MaryAnn no question.

I second that fantasy... not a lot of room for glamour in my world.

Cal McNair is a clueless, bumbling idiot.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Houston Texans owner Bob McNair reportedly said "we can't have the inmates running the prison" in response to NFL players taking a knee.

Cal McNair was speaking in May at the Texans Charity Golf Classic when he told attendees, “I’m sorry that we couldn’t get together last year, because of the coronavirus.” According to a witness who spoke with Bally Sports, people who heard the remark “gasped,” while McNair and his wife appeared amused.

Another retread Coach getting hired for no reason. He'd have to shave that awful beard. Dude looks like Aaron Glenn.

 

[Disco Volante]

Wouldn't surprise me if the NFL pressured the Texans to do his after the Flores lawsuit.

Dude's name was not mentioned anywhere all offseason.

At least Bob made his money all by himself. Cal may have book smarts but has zero self-awareness and is a gullible idiot. He has no idea what he is doing down there.

Caserio must be a Mensa candidate compared to these buffoons.

 

[Deus Irae]

Terrible hire.

The team's hands were tied because of Flores' actions and words.

Fred Sanford is looking down very proud.

Fred Sanford is looking down very proud.

Thats Grady though...

I agree with you about his mediocre coaching ability.
But c'mon man- that beard is awesome!

I just laughed my ass off at this.
So typical of @triumph,god bless his heart.

.500 in regular and postseason…

Took chi to the sb in ‘06.

I feel like the defense took that chi team to the SB in 06. That's how we ended up with Grossman vs Manning.

Edit: I had to fix my mistake with the year.

You'd think that, yet Jack Easterby basically runs the whole show.

Hes smooth.

Jack Easterby continues to stay a step ahead of everyone - ProFootballTalk

Jack Easterby may not know much about operating a football team. He definitely knows how to stay one step ahead of anyone and everyone who may be trying to drag him down.Easterby, who has become sufficiently trusted by Texans owner Cal McNair to basically run the show in Houston, has survived...

I would think that in light of the current atmosphere Smith can pretty much blow off any attempted front office interference without much risk of retaliation.

He'd get ****canned for cause, and there would be no way to reasonably defend Smith at that point.
