I'm told David Culley informed the staff that he has been fired, per league source.

I mean they just hired the guy and he had no QB going into the season what were they really expecting from him?

[Hapless Bills Fan]

That is like the biggest farce ever. 

 

That poor guy got handed the rawest of raw deals with the roster and the QB situation.

He actually managed to pull the team together and win over the Titans and the Chargers.

 

Now he's gotten canned after 1 season, while the Ravens get 2 - 3rd round draft picks as a reward for shoving the poor guy out the door into a crappy situation.

 

Sheesh.

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

This is so unfair. 
 

It is clear now that they hired him as some stop gap In a lost season, who they could just throw away. So disrespectful.

 

He actually did a heck of a job— those guys played better and better and played hard for him. Just very unfair.

[Logic]

The posts by Miyagi and Hapless state it perfectly.

 

Stink, stank, stunk. I hate this.

Sometimes you just SHOULDN'T  take the job…… he got pooched.

[Bruce Smith]

He got a raw deal.  He did a nice job with Mills.  Kid can play.  

[Buffalo716]

Raw deal 

 

But the league stands for Not For Long

[SoCal Deek]

Not the least bit surprised, he looked like a deer in the headlights every time I saw him on the sidelne.

Until the situation with Watson is sorted out (both in terms of trading him if they are going to and his legal problems) that organization will go nowhere.

 

Literally doesn't matter who the coach is right now.

 

I feel bad for Culley however.

He did have Tuh Rod!

[nucci]

Caserio is a bad GM and apparently an ass

[Warcodered]

Maybe this has something to do with there now being an available Flores?

[Slippery Rubber Mats]

IDK he got coaching experience, was (almost) unanimously viewed as having done a good job with a bad situation, and got his name out there.

 

I think he got out of that mess looking pretty good.

Exactly...Pellisaro just reported this on NFL network.   If I'm Flores, I take a hard pass.  That job is no better than Miami in terms of the way the organization is run.

Texans are mess. Culley seems like a good guy, the players apperared to like him, but he seems overmatched for today's NFL. In fairness, there are few coaches who could have succeeded in Houston this season and 2022 won't be much better. The team has a dead cap problem, still have the Watson issue. 

 

At least Culley has three more years on his contract. A nice retirement package.

Might be worse than Miami

[Trock]

He rubbed people the wrong way. Not a likable guy. With his bone headed, ultra conservative style and his toxic body language. The writing was on the wall.

I mocked the hire when it happened, but actually I think he did a pretty good job and the Texans were a tough out down the stretch. Sort of like the Lions in that the record might not be great but the roster is not that talented but they fight hard and showed some promise.
