Texans Close To Hiring HC With NO Coaching Experience

[Mr KLC]

Multiple league sources have either been told or seen notification that Eagles DC Jonathan Gannon was informed, as of yesterday, he would not be receiving the head coach job for the Texans, at said time. The process is ongoing.

So then that would mean it's either Brian Flores or Josh McCown? Flores should be the obvious choice as he's far more qualified, but sadly I have a feeling it's going to be McCown. If it's Josh McCown, Brian Flores' suit gets even stronger. Josh McCown is coaching high school.

If you have no experience you better have big t!ts and I don't think this is the case here??

[jjgold]

need a good qb

[thetrinity]

Well I can’t imagine them hiring a coach involved in a lawsuit against the nfl. It’s a such clown show over there anyways, does it really matter

[stake1]

Poor flores, guess he will add the Texans to his lawsuit. that would mean he lost out to gannon, clear bias and racism in flores world. And here I was thinking it would be josh mccown

[johnnyvegas13]

Is Watson coming back or ????

[stake1]

Pft reporting gannon is not the next Texans HC

[stake1]

Houston’s head coaching search has apparently narrowed. And Philadelphia will keep its defensive coordinator.

Gannon was reportedly one of three finalists for the job. The other two were former Dolphins head coach Brian Flores and former NFL quarterback Josh McCown. It’s unclear if the Texans will expand their search or are close to naming one of their two reported finalists.

Why would anyone want to hire Flores after trying to make the NFL a circus?

I think he's toast. If he wasn't cool w/ Ross's offer, resign THAT DAY. No, the checks were too sweet.

Pft’s Florio says it is Lovie time! Calls Smith the “compromise candidate”

He wasn’t a finalist, but he could end up being the last man standing.

According to ESPN, the Texans are talking to assistant head coach/defensive coordinator Lovie Smith about becoming the team’s next head coach.

Not good timing for NFL. Seems like a hard deal to try to control a locker room on a losing team with no coaching experience...

[stackz125]

Beginner's luck

May get into the playoffs.

[MinnesotaFats]

Love Smith LOL

My God what a stupid hire this would be

Guy has had one winning NFL season since 2010

Had a horrible college career thereafter (30% win rate)

Is 65 years old & defensive minded

Literally EVERYTHING says Lovie Smith is not the right man for any HC job.

How do you prove racism. How do you prove it's not racism. You can't prove it either way. It depends on who you ask, it depends on who makes the judgment. Unless there is a smoking gun, this Flores suit is just tired.

I don't think anyone hires Flores. Not the Texans, nobody. Ever.

[budwiser]

Lovie has the white beard going for him.

They are not hiring any black coaches which is the point of the lawsuit. They put in a rule to try to force teams to consider black coaches but they do not give any consideration. So you sue them and have a pretty good case. That is the only thing that gets anything going. Pretty easy settlement for Flores just like with Kaepernick. When the racism is overt, you have an easy win and they have to take action to avoid future lawsuits.

So what does this have to do with Flores. He's taking the "society has an issue" approach and suing based on that. So he's suing based on 40 years of hiring black coaches-what gives him the right, and not all black coaches?

Maybe he interviewed and they didn't like the guy. How are you going to prove otherwise.

Yeah I think they pay him off. As usual, ca$h takes care of the issue, and if there is an issue, it never gets resolved because of that. And who's to say Flores didn't file the lawsuit to get a ton of ca$h and retire, or not.

To me it's clear as mud.

They have been talking about this on a.m 610 down here. The guy that is hiring him wants someone that will allow him to make the decisions. McCown was offered a job last yr. but decided he wanted to watch his kid.

They have a rookie qb that is very good.

He has the most clear cut case against them. He obviously did file the lawsuit to get money. That is why you file a lawsuit. He is going to get paid off.

his lawsuit does not get more juicy if hes not hired. he made himself look too much like an idiot already

[Seattle Slew]

Guessing they hire Lovie with McCown as OC/coach in waiting?

Of course that's a problem, because if Lovie does a good job, he'll get replaced if McCown does a good job because the Teans won't want him to get hired by another team.

Now Lovie Smith was a decent head coach. His last 3 Bears teams went 11-5, 8-8 and 10-6. He was 20 games over. 500 and went to the Super Bowl with Rex Grossman and the NFL title game with Jay Cutler. That's pretty darn good considering his quarterbacks.

Problem was the Bears were always overrated, especially on defense.

When Lovie got fired, look what happened? One year of Marc Trestman, who was awful, and 3 pathetic years under John Fox.

Black Santa at a nearby mall if the coaching gig fails.

ok...so is it about ca$h or about racism. and does solving racism = ca$h. or wait, i thought this was about black head coach hires.

[budwiser]

definitely corners the market.

i don't think he'd be a bad hire. everyone knows lovie smith, get the texans some notoriety, which they got 0

[budwiser]

so now it's about black ownership. nobody is stopping blacks from owning nfl football teams. do we need another quota rule for owners and coaches?

it's unfair, it's unfair, it's unfair...so here we go again.

1. scapegoat 2. promises 4. something "official" (rule, we all hold hands, whatever) to calm down the fury 4. ca$h 5. business as usual rinse and repeat ad nauseum

http://www.espn.com/video/clip?id=33237271

[budwiser]

1. money 2. power

that's what motivates the vast majority of us.

there's no "unfair". This guy got a coaching job with Miami Dolphins, he had a decent last season and a horrible last season. The owner has a right to fire the guy, as it's his team. He has a right to interview for new jobs.

Now how this turns into General Hospital, you can thank Flores and his lawyers. And no, he does NOTHING for black coaches around the league, but he does make his white lawyers richer.

McCown played QB in the NFL for 17 years, he knows NFL football like the back of his hand.

As long as Kelly Monaco is doing the depositions, General Hospital not a bad storyline here.

[Mr KLC]

I think that the Texans let Culley go because they wanted a shot at Flores. Then he went nuclear with the lawsuit. They would have probably hired McCown, but that would have put gas on the fire for Flores lawsuit. The Texans decided to go with a different BLACK head coach that they already knew to offset Flores. If they had known all this was going to happen, they probably would have just kept Culley at HC and Lovie as DC.
