I think he can, but it's going to involve transparency. Deshaun Watson needs to be involved with the HC search and the Texans need to coordinate to have a chat with Eric Bienemy. I don't care if he's not part of that Easterby/Caserio clique, Bienemy is the guy who Watson would work the closest with - he's the guy who would get Watson focused again. It'll be a miracle if this worked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs new position coaches, and maybe a guy like Joe Brady who will say "This is how I want to do it, so do it this way," and follow that blueprint. Let's be reasonable here - Watson set all time highs with Kelly as OC. Could we upgrade? Absolutely. But... is that upgrade worth upsetting Watson? The HC thing brothers me though. This is like Chase Bank interviewing a janitor for the role CEO. Sure, the janitor has value... but not for THIS job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tab Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Im seeing a few different things about Bienemy on reddit right now. One tweet says he doesnt want anything to do with us, another (Albright) says he thought he was the frontrunner for us and REALLY wanted the job. I hope we interview him at least, now that we have the GM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOST of the success DW4 had came on BROKEN plays... the OC doesn't get credit for that... especially when said OC does not design plays to protect DW4 and possibly enable him to have greater individual success so that the team has more collaborative success (wins). To your point re: DW4, he has had a LOT of time with Kelly (IIRC Kelly has been here with DW4 since he came to the team). Kelly is younger and probably was a stark contrast to BO'OB. That being said, he... gotta... go (or he should go rather) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why you put a muzzle on Kelly. He's the OC, but he's not running that BoB scheme, he's running Joe Brady's scheme (hopefully). It's on Kelly to adopt the concepts introduced by Brady, not design and run the plays he ran this past season. 21 minutes ago, jch1911 said: To your point re: DW4, he has had a LOT of time with Kelly (IIRC Kelly has been here with DW4 since he came to the team).

Had Watson been included in decisions, had Easterby been fired, had Eric Bienemy interviewed for the gig - yeah, Tim is gone. Those things didn't happen, so you're on strike two. Strike three is removing Tim Kelly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, or keep him on as QB coach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[removed] [removed] [removed]!!!!!! Not only was it a dumb decision, but it also just another thing that will make people second guess working for the Texans. Who wants to be in business with someone like this? Cal is really an idiot, just the stereotypical rich kid, put in this position because of his father, with no business acumen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
