I would be really curious who he'd bring in as his offensive coordinator, that will be what really determines how I ultimately feel if this is the decision. Sure beats the hell out of McCown. Unless McCown becomes the OC. Kevin Patullo is the passing game coordinator for Philly, but he has been around Gannon for the past 4 or so years (both came from Indy). Might be someone to watch as getting promoted to OC here. not advocating for him, as I have no idea if he is good, just trying to connect dots.

QB coach I can get behind. You dont be an assistant at some HS and jump to the NFL as an OC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could get behind Gannon, with McCown as a assistant HC/QB coach. It's not Flores, but it's not McCown in a "trial by fire" attempt to run a billion dollar organization with HS experience... I mean, I still think it'll be a mess with Easterby and Cal, but they could have lucked into a good HC with Gannon. Who knows at this point.

I'd be ok with it as a fan as this would be a logical step for McCown. If I was Gannon, I'd be skeptical knowing Houston's interviewed him twice for the HC position. It's the whole "you vs. the guy your girlfriend says don't worry about" type of situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, makes no sense for Gannon to have McCown on the roster knowing they are grooming him to replace you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever does is the choice". I think it's Gannon. I think that we'll have an answer by tomorrow (weather permitting). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LORK88 Posted February 3, 2022 Author Share Posted February 3, 2022 A lot to unpack here. First, I love the fact that Flores is considered a finalist, even with the lawsuit. That obviously complicates things, but I like the fact that he's standing up for what is right and also let teams know before it came out publicly. I firmly believe in over-communication and he went about that in the right way. Not only would this be a great hire on the field as he's easily one of the most qualified coaches available, it would be tremendous PR for the Texans who could use it. Not only that, but you have to believe Flores would be extra motivated to prove everyone wrong. Second, I like the reviewing of the staff plans. My only hope is that McCown doesn't have any connections so Flores and Gannon's staffs will look much more appealing. Last, glad to see we at least wanted O'Connell and are trying to do what we can. I don't blame him for going with the Vikings, but I think it validates Caserio a bit that he's on the right track. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's the one hire that could nearly 180 the entire narrative behind the Texans since last off-season. From tone deaf and incompetent to forward thinking and prepared, all in one hire. They could undo so much ill will, and it literally fell in their laps. It hits every check mark from an alignment perspective (friends with both Caserio and Easterby, New England ties) and it's a guy who has proven he could win with a really bad roster (and an ownership team that allegedly was willing to pay him to lose). It's a sad state of affairs that I'm bracing for Josh McCown, even with this obvious choice waiting for a call and waiting to help with the rebuild. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco79 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 There would be no quicker way to turn around the perception of this team around the league than hiring Flores. That alone isn’t reason enough to pull the trigger, but it’s just the cherry on top of the fact that he is the best, most qualified finalist they have. He is good friends with Easterby, has worked with Caserio, and he consistently had his team over perform expectations in Miami. I just hope Cal can make the right decision for once. Gannon is a fine candidate and maybe he makes a great HC one day, but it would be an uninspiring hire. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor Dillon Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 So hiring Flores and Easterbys relationship with him is a good thing and hiring Mccown and his relationship with Easterby is a bad thing? there’s no way we hire Flores. Zero chance. No one is gonna hire a guy who is gonna turn around and burn every secret you have. It’s just not happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, because one of them is extremely qualified for the job while other one isn’t qualified at all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really that simple. If Josh McCown spent a few years in coaching at a level beyond HS, it might make more sense... but that's not the case here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
