Teflon-Don Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 What an absolute sh*tshow in Houston..the Houston Jets "Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus is in high demand for potential head coaching jobs and while the Houston Texans had their eye on him as a candidate, it seems he has declined the interview. There doesn’t appear to be an exact reason why but anyone paying attention can get an idea. Things don’t look great in Houston given the recent drama surrounding the hiring of new general manager Nick Caserio. Whether that was the reason or something else, Eberflus declined to interview with the Texans, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Going in the division would have been a tough sell for Eberflus anyway but with how things are unfolding in Houston, it’s pretty clear that won’t likely be the destination if Eberflus does take a head coaching job. Part of the report from Pelissero also says that Eberflus will be interviewing with the New York Jets on Sunday and the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday following the Colts’ wild-card weekend matchup with the Buffalo Bills. It remains to be seen if he will wind up with a head coaching job, but we know it’s most likely not going to be with the Texans." ... "Colts defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus has turned down the Texans’ request to come in for an interview for their head coaching vacancy. The Texans initially sought permission to interview Eberflus before hiring General Manager Nick Caserio, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports. Although no reason has been given for why Eberflus turned the Texans down, it raises the question of whether he’s leery of the issues going on in Houston, where many people around the league have concerns about the direction the franchise has gone in since Jack Easterby, the team’s executive vice president of football operations, got owner Cal McNair’s ear. The hiring of Caserio, who has long been close to Easterby, strongly suggests that Easterby is calling the shots. And Eberflus may not be interested in coaching for a team run by Easterby. Also concerning about the Texans is the possibility that Deshaun Watson, the franchise quarterback who is by far the team’s most valuable asset, is unhappy in Houston. Eberflus is still scheduled to interview with the Jets and Chargers, so he wants a head-coaching job. Just not the Texans job." 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRL Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 HOU isn't a great spot. They have an expensive older roster and O'Brien gave away a ton of picks to make a run and it failed.

oatmeal Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Hmm tells a lot about what type of plans our coaching candidates potentially presented to Joe Douglas and Co. Watson is a franchise QB so that alone should attract coaches but the uncertainty at that position is turning them away. Makes me think the new coaching candidates are coming in with plans to build around a rookie because Darnold and any draft pick isn’t as attractive as Watson and what ever moves Houston can make to improve this offseason imo. could be wrong though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimjasi Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 They have a lot of issues. They just went 4-12 with Watson balling out. They are 15 M over the cap. They have no 1st or 2nd round picks. Imagine being 4-12 and not having your top two draft picks? Yikes So, I think a coach who is going there might be worried that there is no easy way to turn things around quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's gotten to that point. It just so rarely happens. QBs rarely even hold out, good ones even less. They are too important and franchises usually bend the knee to keep them happy. Probably will smooth over, but the timing is unfortunate for them in the middle of a HC search. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhg1084 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I’m still trying to figure out how they traded DeAndre Hopkins, went 4-12, and they’re first pick in this upcoming draft isn’t until pick #67. How’s that even possible lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
