It's incredible just how badly the Texans have buried themselves trying to be the Patriots without the two guys who actually made the Patriots work

It kinda does. The Texans have been a below average franchise devoid of any character for its entire life. At least now it gets to be known for a unique dysfunction usually seen less in pro sports and more in European history textbooks.

Detroit has a lot more success than Houston tbh

Although counting the Red Wings might be cheating since there's no NHL team in Houston

e: Cleveland south would be more accurate probably

This loving televangelist and failson owner have eroded my interest in a Texans to all time low - far lower than even the tail end of the Schaub era or the years before Watson but after Schaub. gently caress this team until Easterby is gone - I cannot muster the energy to care otherwise.

Carolina would obviously be the dream but I just don't think the Panthers have the pieces.

Like first rounders sure whatever, but they'd have to move Bridgewater in the process and I'm not sure if that makes Watson more or less expensive.

I wouldn't be sad if they parted with CMC.

I'd be more concerned with protecting Moore, Moton, Brown, Burns, and Chinn. They would be the only real untouchables from my perspective.

To be fair, Bieniemy has some serious character flags in his past conduct. But not even bothering to interview Saleh, who would at least bring one of Shanahan's guys with him to run the offense, is criminal.

There's really only one solution here: I will run the Texans. I will be positive but fair, and my focus will be on a winning culture coupled with sound, modern football tactics.

Is it really character concerns when he's been clean for 20 years? Like the PR fallout would be real but he seems to have his poo poo together and be way more legit than the rocket scientist. Eric faced consequences for his poo poo to unlike beardo. Seems like a way easier situation to handle from a PR prospective

As the owner/GM/chaplain of the Texans, I would certainly interview him and weigh that against any potential PR issues, especially since my star QB expressed an interest in him and I want to keep that QB happy

On that note...

November 18, 2018:

YOU DON'T KNOW JACK - The most influential Patriot you've never heard of

quote:

What comes to mind when you hear the name Jack Easterby?

You'd be forgiven if "Jack Who…?" is the first thing, because even the most ardent Patriots fan might not recognize him.

Pose that same question to anyone directly involved with Patriots football operations and you'll render them momentarily speechless as well, though not because they're unfamiliar with him. Quite the opposite, actually. They know Jack so well and he means so much to them – does so much for them – that they know not where to begin.

Right away, faces light up. Moods soften. Any tension or formality quickly evaporates at the mention of Jack Easterby.

"He's one of the most genuine people I've ever met. He's been a great friend to me," center and co-captain David Andrews proclaims.

"There are so many amazing things about Jack," declares tight end Jacob Hollister.

"He's just energetic… Always smiling, always in a good mood," says wide receiver Chris Hogan, "always asking how you're doing, how's the family, other stuff outside of football. He just cares a lot about the guys in here."

quote:

"For so long," Slater reveals, "many of us around here prayed for someone like Jack that would be able to come alongside and encourage us in many different ways, especially spiritually. I think he was the perfect man for the job. He's just been such an encouragement."

quote:

It is this authenticity that draws players instantly to Easterby.

"Right away," Allen asserts. "I think there are certain people we come across in life that have that effect on people. You know this is a genuine person that you're talking to and you're not getting filler."

"Kind of like I'd known him forever," is how Hogan describes his initial encounter with Easterby. "That's the vibe he gives off. He's such a friendly person. He goes above and beyond to take care of the guys."

quote:

"There was a lot of pressure, anxiety, stress due to competition, different environment, lifestyle, I mean, just about everything under the sun," Allen confesses. "The way he was able to put the pieces together and give me some insight on how to perceive some of that stuff and encouraging me to do the same things that I'm doing to keep my personal family together and on good terms, there was a lot that he could bring to the table. It was very useful to have a resource like Jack to go and talk to."

damn i'm really in this bitch


"what's our messaging on this?"
"well, our franchise qb and our beloved defensive end who are both in the top 3 of our franchise's history in terms of what they've contributed and how beloved they are really don't like having this guy around, and they think you're ignoring their concerns because this guy has too much sway over your opinion. overall everyone's confidence in your ability to run this team and make hires to set the franchise up to be successful is rapidly evaporating for a guy with no football experience whom most of the players feel neutrally or negatively towards and whom coaches and gms who are not named nick caserio are going to be incredibly wary of working with. also constantly waffling on this coaching hire is drawing out this process and magnifying scrutiny on this incredibly bad situation."
