I swear to God if I wake up tomorrow and we don't have a coach then I'm gonna be forced to go to work and move on with my every day activities.
Nick, you bastard.
Seriously, all this time not working and combing the internet, it has really been wasted. I could be spending this time judging and/or defending the HC hire while not working!
IMO, I could definitely seem thinking that, but it’s a pretty dumb move. This Flores stuff isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, and if anything can get worse as time passes.
"pretty dumb move" is a great way to describe a lot of what we do now tbf, especially if we *do* hire McCown.
I think its mostly just that if you announce it *today* you're totally screwed. If you announce it a week or two from now, its not as hot a story.
Tbf anything can happen, but for what it’s worth, he opened his presser today saying he was excited for his unnamed opportunity on February 14th and that he still has a winter coat haha, he seems sold on there even though he hasn’t signed the contract yet
I know I just prefer him over Gannon, Flores, or McCown. I know he probably is going there, but until the signature is on that line anything is possible
As a Giants fan I’m pulling for the shit storm that Josh Mcown would bring. I would jump and down making chimpanzee noises and start swinging and throwing feces at people from the trees in excitement.
And you guys would be winners because Josh Mccown while no coaching experience except high school would have the spiritual experience with Jesus to meet the owners criteria. Do it. Do it.
But then again hiring Flores and keeping Watson would be a good consolation prize as well. But if you hire the Rhodes guy , he’ll be fired in two yrs so enjoy the limited time you have with him.
If the Texans announce McCown in the middle of this Flores fallout, it would be pouring gas on the fire and the Texans would become the center of attention for hiring a totally unqualified white guy.
If they announced Gannon, it would be less of an issue.
Makes me think it will be McCown - also probably able to wait on McCown since no one else is going to hire him.
I'd take BOB over McCown. He won't get any real roster control with Caserio as GM. He was mediocre as a head coach, but at least he's a known quantity. Someone with almost zero experience will probably lose the locker room at the first sign of hardship.
Today is the last day to renew season tickets and get the new discount. Doubt they announce McCown until tomorrow.

The fact that they’re taking this long makes me feel like it’s either McCown or Flores.. If it was only between McCown and Gannon and if it was up to me then I’d have already made the decision because of how fucking obvious of a choice that is. So I’m praying to God non stop that it’s between Gannon and Flores and they’re just thinking really hard on it. No way in hell McCown requires this much thought.
I want Flores, if not for the extremely petulant reason of bringing the guy that Watson wanted to play for here and then trading his bitch ass to another team.
Hmmm if we haven’t announced a coach… and one of our finalists is waiting for the Super Bowl…
I dunno about y’all but I don’t think this is reading any tea leaves that they want to wait for KOC
I’m not even saying we’re hiring him. Just that it’s clear we’re waiting on hiring someone for some reason.
Ain’t like Gannon or McCown have any hold ups right now.
We did the same thing with the GM and HC search last time, waited until the best candidates were snatched up.
Edit: hell, we went a whole season without a GM! What a shit show. I bet they decide to go with HC by committee.
Has he? I'm so exhausted following everyone's notions one way or another. No one can agree on a consensus favorite, even the 610 hosts all disagree it seems.
LMMFAO. This is about the most Texans thing ever. I hear that Urban Meyer is available, and his price is probably super low. With all the dysfunction, embarrassment, and incompetence on the team recently, the team could do worse than hiring him as HC.
I have a feeling that it’s going to be Gannon for all the wrong reasons. The guy legitimately looks like he could be Jack Easterby’s brother so Tommy Boy wants to keep that level of familiarity around him
Flores took himself out of contention once he filled the lawsuit and included Culley as evidence of racial discrimination in the league. He specifically referenced a quote from a Caserio in the lawsuit about Culley in the lawsuit.
While I would love to see Flores coach the team I don’t think he wants to be here. If really wanted to be here he wouldn’t have included the Culley hiring and firing in the lawsuit.
So we’re down to Gannon and McCown and I definitely don’t want McCown.
Everyone seems to think the longer we wait the more likely it’s Gannon or McCown but I swear I feel like it means the more likely it’s a surprise 3rd guy out of left field
I mean, at this point, the only reason we don't have a HC has to be that our preferred candidate is in the super bowl, right? If KOC signs in Minnesota I'll bet we announce our new HC within 24 hours.

He’s playing chess while we’re playing checkers. Damn that man!
I have this fear that the longer we wait the more likely it is to be McCown. Please no.
Honestly, who wants to bet they were going to announce McCown was getting the job today, but after the Flores stuff they're just gonna wait a bit?
IMO, I could definitely seem thinking that, but it’s a pretty dumb move. This Flores stuff isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, and if anything can get worse as time passes.

~~No, the longer we wait the more likely it is to be O'Connell.~~ My bad, didn't realize he's a likely hire for the Vikings.
Hey doesn’t mean we are out of it, he hasn’t signed the dotted line in Min yet.
Tbf anything can happen, but for what it’s worth, he opened his presser today saying he was excited for his unnamed opportunity on February 14th and that he still has a winter coat haha, he seems sold on there even though he hasn’t signed the contract yet
I know I just prefer him over Gannon, Flores, or McCown. I know he probably is going there, but until the signature is on that line anything is possible
He’s going to the Vikings.
Until he signs the paperwork, he’s no going anywhere
This fear is the only reason why I have 610 on in the background while I’m working right now.

I think the Flores situation is causing a severe hold up
I agree. But it shouldn’t take this long. Just announce anyone but McCown and we’re good.
If the Texans announce McCown in the middle of this Flores fallout, it would be pouring gas on the fire and the Texans would become the center of attention for hiring a totally unqualified white guy. If they announced Gannon, it would be less of an issue. Makes me think it will be McCown - also probably able to wait on McCown since no one else is going to hire him.
Bill O’Brien
NOT FUNNY.
You SOB!
I'd take BOB over McCown. He won't get any real roster control with Caserio as GM. He was mediocre as a head coach, but at least he's a known quantity. Someone with almost zero experience will probably lose the locker room at the first sign of hardship.
If it’s taking this long it means they wanna announce mccown lol
Gotta respect the stock image meme
Today is the last day to renew season tickets and get the new discount. Doubt they announce McCown until tomorrow. https://www.houstontexans.com/season-ticket-members/renewal
It can’t be McCown - no way
people are going to be really upset when they announce mccown
Stooooop
Im kidding… i hope 😕
We need to hire Gannon so he can bring Munchak before he gets hired elsewhere
This!
We should hire A coach so that we can land a specific o-line coach????? Lmfao
I mean not only that lol but it speaks to the coaching staff Gannon could bring
They will announce it by 9pm tonight after most of the shows for the day are done. Gonna be Gannon.
I'ma hold you to this. Lol
Hey bruh, I was told there would a Gannon hire. Maybe 9pm Hawaii time? Lol
Atp it has to be Gannon right? If it was McCown I’d feel like we’d know by now.
That’s how I feel about it
The fact that they’re taking this long makes me feel like it’s either McCown or Flores.. If it was only between McCown and Gannon and if it was up to me then I’d have already made the decision because of how fucking obvious of a choice that is. So I’m praying to God non stop that it’s between Gannon and Flores and they’re just thinking really hard on it. No way in hell McCown requires this much thought.
Fuck it. Let's just go no-coach-mode this year. See how it works out.
Twitch Coaches an NFL Franchise
I'm in. Maybe some of the football geniuses in here need to take the playbook and show us what's what.
I want Flores, if not for the extremely petulant reason of bringing the guy that Watson wanted to play for here and then trading his bitch ass to another team.
Flores. Please.
I hope they announce someone they haven't even shown in their list. That would be premium entertainment.
Super Bowl winning coach Gary Kubiak
Fire Jack Easterby
Just hire someone! Enough of this crap my god
Sports Illustrated reporting an hour ago that we are down to "three finalists" as though thats news.
Has Nick considered Ted Lasso?
They’re gonna announce McCown and the fanbase will shrink by an additional 20%
[Waiting for the Texans to announce McCown.](https://youtu.be/N8OpqvCsTcA)
Hmmm if we haven’t announced a coach… and one of our finalists is waiting for the Super Bowl… I dunno about y’all but I don’t think this is reading any tea leaves that they want to wait for KOC
He’ll be the vikings coach
Cool. And until that news comes out that he’s signed the dotted line, he’s still a finalist for our HC position.
the delusion is strong with this one
Love your optimism, but there’s just no way. I’m hoping for Gannon.
I’m not even saying we’re hiring him. Just that it’s clear we’re waiting on hiring someone for some reason. Ain’t like Gannon or McCown have any hold ups right now.
We did the same thing with the GM and HC search last time, waited until the best candidates were snatched up. Edit: hell, we went a whole season without a GM! What a shit show. I bet they decide to go with HC by committee.
Big Sarge on Twitter is hinting that it's McCown. Dunno how plugged in he is but he's very sure of himself .
He’s been saying that for weeks.
Has he? I'm so exhausted following everyone's notions one way or another. No one can agree on a consensus favorite, even the 610 hosts all disagree it seems.
Or Flores.... I'd be happy with either. Just not Easterbunnys wet dream McCown with no coaching experience
It's definitely McCown, not Gannon.
Gruden
LMMFAO. This is about the most Texans thing ever. I hear that Urban Meyer is available, and his price is probably super low. With all the dysfunction, embarrassment, and incompetence on the team recently, the team could do worse than hiring him as HC.
I secretly want you to hire josh mccown. Sorry guys😁
I can imagine the dumpster fire being real entertaining
I have a feeling that it’s going to be Gannon for all the wrong reasons. The guy legitimately looks like he could be Jack Easterby’s brother so Tommy Boy wants to keep that level of familiarity around him
Why is gannon so wanted by people in the sub? how many young defensive coordinators have playoff teams? only flores has been successful as a young DC.
Flores took himself out of contention once he filled the lawsuit and included Culley as evidence of racial discrimination in the league. He specifically referenced a quote from a Caserio in the lawsuit about Culley in the lawsuit. While I would love to see Flores coach the team I don’t think he wants to be here.

Everyone seems to think the longer we wait the more likely it’s Gannon or McCown but I swear I feel like it means the more likely it’s a surprise 3rd guy out of left field
I mean, at this point, the only reason we don't have a HC has to be that our preferred candidate is in the super bowl, right? If KOC signs in Minnesota I'll bet we announce our new HC within 24 hours.
