Texans getting closer to hiring Josh McCown as Head Coach

[Albany,n.y.]

Steve Tasker went nuts on OBL when they discussed this to open the show.

Wow, Texans are a world class dumpster fire

[Saxum]

They should just sign coaching staff for one year.

[Warcodered]

Wonder if they'll realize it's McCown not McClown before getting disappointed with his lack of balloon animal making experience.

What?

[Irv]

Testaverde wasn't available?  

[Albany,n.y.]

McCown did such a great job mentoring Sam Darnold with the Jets, that's all he had to bring up in his interview to get the Texans attention.  🙃

Ive watched a lot of football perhaps I could interview?

[Billzgobowlin]

I have no problem with this if there is reasoning to it.  Best man doesn't always have to be a coordinator

The main criteria the Texans are using for their coaching search is the answer to the question, "Will you take the  job?"  

If the candidate answers "Yes" he's hired.  

 

No viable candidate would ever consider that job.  The Texans made it even less attractive by firing Culley after one season.

I want to see this happened because I actually like McCown. Seems like a really good dude. But an equal parts of me wants to see it happen just because I like to watch the world burn.

May as well just choose the guy you like personally with no coaching experience at all. I mean, not like any competent hire could turn that dumpster fire around any time soon for at least another couple years. Little to no talent on that team and what little they do have is still likely out the door this off season. About as full rebuild starting this off season as is possible.

I mean it's not that I don't think he couldn't become a coach, I just think it's a leap to go from assistant high school coach to Head Coach in the NFL.

[Royale with Cheese]

I remember when he was supposedly going to be our QB about 10 or so years ago.

McCown is pretty respected league wide. But the issue is he has never coached at any level. They think he can suddenly walk in and be a HC and build a competent staff? Love McCown, but this is just a huge stretch

[JohnBonhamRocks]

Does he have a pulse? OK… can you move his hand to make a signature? Great, he’s hired. 

[Jdragon2]

I read that as Josh McDaniels because my brain couldn't process how ridiculous it is that it is McCown instead.

He was a finalist for their HC job last year too, right?

[FilthyBeast]

This is strange, I wonder if the Texans overplayed their hand and moved on from Culley because they thought for sure Flores would want to be there but then possibly declined? (specially because he knows Watson is never playing there again).
