Poll: Who would you want as the Texans' Head Coach in 2014?

I disliked the stadium from the first moment I set foot in it which, as an original season ticket holder, was a practice. I made this clear at the time and it would be easily verifiable if that cowardly puke Ric hadn't gotten pissy and taken the original HPF site offline with no warning.

And, Nconroe, what, you want me to make a list of coaches that will never coach in Houston? Why? And I'm negative? What? Do you need another dozen years of abject failure to cement your own opinion of the franchise? Seriously?

I realize that I have a darker view of the team and its prospects than most of you and I try not to continually post the same BS over and over and over. And I hope I don't. (And if I do, I hope I get called on it.) But in times of transition such as this I think it is entirely appropriate to point out that I think that the owner is plainly not the sort of owner who is likely to see many consecutive years of success from his team. I've watched the Texans closely for as long as they have been in existence and my conclusion is, to me, obvious, and it also has the advantage of being supported by things like facts.

Who knows. Maybe he'll hire some young genius and the Texans will suddenly begin to draft great and go on a New England style run. But do you really think this will happen? Really? Deep down?

I didn't think so.

I'd put 99-1 odds that the former coaches that have already said No were the same 3 coaches who are brought up seemingly every single off season.

Cowher, Gruden, and Dungy.

Whoopity Doo.

Quoting Chuck "I'm being given as a reference in an internet argument. Awesome". And it was a ref by Chuck. Double whammy.

Here is info on the headhunter Texans using to help find a new coach. Sounds like he worked with San Francisco and Green Bay recently.

He's worked for Arsenal and Liverpool. Maybe he can find the Texans a kicker.

In all seriousness this sounds like a good move.

My populist sensibilities are warmed to know that the public internet is wide open even to those who never brought home plus marks down their reading comprehension report card columns.

How many season ticket holders do we have here? Keith? Who else?

How many people have never seen a Texans game in Reliant? Bob? Who else?

Since day 1. Probably seen 95 of the 100+ games played. Sometimes life just gets in the way. Sometimes......

Cool. Where are your seats? Where do you tailgate? Do you still have that first ticket? I managed to lose mine. That's really the only regret I have about my tenure as a season ticket holder other than not dropping them sooner.

Nose bleeds. 621. Yep, still have both first tickets, pre and reg season. They were plastic, so they've survived.... Our parking is in Orange, and our tailgating is sporadic. Getting too old to handle those Mondays.

I have zero regrets in hanging on to my tickets. Its good entertainment. Since we're high, its "only" about a grand per year.

[Nconroe]

Fwiw,
Been to atleast one game at Reliant every year.

First Oiler game saw at Astrodome in 1971.

Quite a few Texans open practices also.

[Nconroe]

Bleacher report has a list of their top 9 candidates
http://m.bleacherreport.com/articles...kubiak/page/10

Kevin Sumlin - offense
Darrell Bennell - offense
Ken Whisenhut- offense
Pete Carmichael - offense
Luvie Smith - defense
Mike Zimmer - defense
Ray Horton - defense
David Cutcliff - offense
David Shaw - offense

[Arky]

I think I've seen every game on TV since the beginning. Maybe overslept a couple of times back in the early days....

Never been to the stadium, probably will never go. Today's ticket prices are just too crazy for me. Getting in and getting out of the stadium area seems like a big hassle.......

Went to plenty of Oiler games back in the day. I still got an old Oilers vs. Chargers program from the 60's ..... Lance Alworth was still with the Chargers at the time...

Yep, I still have my season tickets.

As for the thread topic... if Lovie is just going to bring in his cover-2 defense, I wouldn't be thrilled. Sorta like Kubiak trotting out the good ol' WCO.

Even worse in my opinion. I really think they destroyed the Cover 2/Tampa 2 with the new rules on hitting over the middle. You can no longer design a defense around daring teams to attack the seam with their TEs and slot guys.

I think there is going to be some new way invented to stop the spread offenses now that you can't beat up the receivers. The Seattle method of physical corners grabbing and tugging at receivers seems to be the new way but if the refs call defensive holding a lot, that isn't going to work. The other method is stampeding the quarterback but you aren't allowed to hit the QB anymore either. Makes it really tough to design an effective defense.
