He's a bright offensive mind and has done well at every HC stop he's had. As long as his health checks out he needs to be hired by someone. when you bring up that he took the colts to the super bowl in his first season people go "oh he had peyton manning" as though peyton manning made a habit of getting to super bowls during his time in indy, lol. i really think he deserved a shot with andrew luck. then he goes to detroit and is the only coach to have anything vaguely resembling sustained success there for nearly as long as i've been alive, and gets fired for his efforts. maybe he's a "safe" hire but i think he'd be quite successful in houston, particularly after someone like BOB who really grated on the players there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he'd be great in NYJ, JAX, or LAC with a young QB as well. Seems like the perfect guy to help groom one (or take HOU where they want to go with an already elite QB as you said). I like how coaching teams to be a consistent playoff contender/taking a team to the SB once isn't considering a booming hire and just "safe". I guess I'll take the safe hire? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. He'd be a good fit to start getting the most out of a Deshaun Watson led offense. Watson is a great QB, he just needs someone competent to help him man a high scoring offense. Caldwell is definitely competent. The defensive staff would be critical though. I'd be pretty annoyed if he brought along some retread failure he's worked with before. But, with all these defense first HCs getting fired, there ought to be good pickings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ET80 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 One thing to keep in mind with the Texans... The Texans like to have a "Special Consultant" who works as a defacto assistant HC - Romeo Crennell was that guy this season, which is why he was able to quickly transition to the HC role once BoB was fired. This guy isn't just a parachute in the event the franchise needs to eject on the HC - they oversee a lot, provide guidance for the HC and the assistants, and even work the game in the booth. It's possible that these two are interviewing for that role... An experienced voice to a green HC (which describes Bienemy, Saleh, Brady...) This being said, @diamondbull424 may have sold me on Lewis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Lewis would be a great hire. He gets a lot of ire due to never being able to elevate the Bengals to a playoff win. But that organization is inept, and he never really had a great team on paper during his tenure. His stable success is a huge accomplishment in my eyes... they were the Bungles before he got there and reverted back to the Bungles when he left. I think of all of the re-tread coaches, Lewis probably deserves a 2nd shot the most, preferably for an organization that isn't a perennial dumpster fire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETSGOBROWNIES Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Marvin gets pooed on way too much. Anyone remember that franchise before him? I do. Caldwell is solid too imo, Houston could (and have) done way worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think a whole lotta people who would've had the opportunity to pick there would've been wrong on Robinson tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's more hits than misses, along with a good track record of mid to later round picks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
