Default Candid Bob McNair Quotes in Fanhouse Article

Worth reading the whole thing. There are a number of comments McNair makes that are worthy of their own threads, but here are a few nuggets:
Quote:
"We'll pick up a running back or two in the draft to solidify our running game. ...

"I think we treated David as a No. 1 pick and did not demand enough of him. He thought he was doing everything that needed to be done and that wasn't the case. He needed to be the first player in here and the last one to leave. He needed to work more with our receivers and put in not just required time but go over and beyond. David did not understand that, and he said that recently. ...

""We were 7-9 and the wheels fell off, and some things happen like that when owners are so loyal to certain coaches. They can be like a band of brothers. They do not continue to make their staffs better as they go along. They have no problem moving a player, but they do with coaches. ..."

On the Cowboys' glitzy new stadium and Dallas hosting the next Super Bowl: "They have almost reached our level.''

I want to bring a championship here. Bringing NFL football back was not enough. ..................This might be our year. I always try to figure out how to add value. How do we get to be a championship team? That's adding value. And you do it with stable coaching, stable ownership.
Say what you will, but I think McNair's sense of how to do things is sound. Now that he's sold off his horse racing interests and can focus solely on the Texans, I truly believe that good things are on the way. He was a big fat n00b during the whole Carr/Casserly/Capers era (aka "the lost years") but I believe he gets it, now. He's unobtrusive and stays in the background for the most part - a team could have a lot worse owner in place...
