Texans appear SERIOUS about building a contender in Houston.

I won't post the entire article since it isn't Panther related, but it is interesting.

https://www.houstonchronicle.com/texas-sports-nation/texans/article/Tony-Dungy-Jimmy-Johnson-Texans-advisory-committee-15783477.php

Pro Football Hall of Fame coaches Tony Dungy and Jimmy Johnson are on Texans owner Cal McNair’s five-person advisory group with Andre Johnson, Fritz Pollard Alliance executive director Rod Graves and longtime San Antonio Spurs general manager R.C. Buford.

Jimmy Johnson won two Super Bowls coaching the Cowboys. Dungy won a Super Bowl with Indianapolis. They’ve stayed close to the NFL in their broadcasting duties with Fox (Johnson) and NBC (Dungy).

Buford has been a longtime executive with the Spurs who helped them win five NBA championships under coach Gregg Popovich. Buford has been their CEO the past two years. McNair said he asked Buford to be on the committee because he’s admired the Spurs’ consistent success and organizational structure.

We have no idea how this will turn out, but I have to admire the fact that Mr. McNair is looking to surround himself with proven winners to help guide this team through the next decade.

Ironically, the other NFL owner in Texas should be doing this  (cough, Jerry Jones, cough) will continue to lead the Cowboys down the road to mediocrity.

Could you guys ever see Tepper setting up such a committee to guide him in a GM and/or Head coaching search?

How do you feel about the idea of such a committee in general for any sports franchise?

Proverbs 12:15 "The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,
But he who heeds counsel is wise."

When they were doing the head coaching search that culminated in the hiring of Matt Rhule, Tepper seemed to indicate that he wasn't interested in using search firms or consultants, so it doesn't sound like he'd go this route.

I personally think it's a good idea, though.

They have largely wasted the career of one of the greatest defensive players of all-time. They recently traded arguably the best WR in the NFL. They still have a franchise QB. Looks like they're tired of watching idiots flail around. 

[Mr. Scot]

One of the easiest ways to screw everything up is to put faith in the wrong person.

 

 

 

Yeah, we know...

Team was trending up several years ago. But ever since old man McNair made those racist comments - hard to believe anyone with class or dignity would still want to play for his family.

It seems like lip service. Hiring a consultant gets you the consultants old pal.

Johnson last won a superbowl a quarter century ago, and was last seen having a 70 burger dropped on him by the jags.

dungy fled tampa to a HOF QB to win his SB. the only thing he accomplished on his own was driving his son to suicide. 

Oh boy

Well, that went well...
