Longtime Texans beat writer John McClain added some info with regard to the coaching search.

Caserio will reportedly join owner Cal McNair in the coaching search, but three candidates have already been interviewed without him: Jim Caldwell, Marvin Lewis and Joe Brady. The Texans reportedly also want to interview Titans OC Arthur Smith and Colts DC Matt Eberflus but may wait since their teams are in the playoffs.

Other names could potentially be added, including Bills OC Brian Daboll, 49ers DC Robert Saleh and Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy. Daboll and Caserio go back a long way from Daboll's time with the Patriots.

One person who reportedly won't be a candidate: Josh McDaniels (McClain didn't elaborate as to why).

This is a SERIOUS red flag for McDaniels. Ya know, if the disaster in Denver and the 11th hour spurning of the Colts weren't enough of a red flag for anyone.

It could be that he's been promised the Patriots job as soon as Belichick retires, but he was a candidate here just last year so who can say?

It's also being speculated that the Patriots are about to bleed coaching and front office staff talent. Caserio is already gone, Monti Ossenfort left last year and Pro Personnel Chief Dave Ziegler is a candidate for GM of the Broncos.

The rats might be deserting the ship.

Good I hope some one hires Jeff Ireland before us next that’ll be both my two least favorite candidates gone. Ed Dodds or Ryan Poles are my two guys.

We already interviewed ireland, and the only other team I know of that's doing so is the Lions (this Friday).

He and Matt Rhule are friends. Rhule is also said to "greatly respect" Ireland and Albert Breer reported that the team has "done a lot of homework" on him already.

Usually gm's like to have their own coach. Not the other way around. This is why tepper fuged up and will continue to fug up. We will hire the giants guy.

Reese? Wouldn't bet on it.

Besides, a couple of our GM candidates are already buddies with our head coach so they'd be "getting their guy" anyway.

Yeah man thanks to your detailed breakdowns (idk how you do it lol) I’ve gathered as much. I know he’s absolutely a possibility which is why I want him hired sooner than later by a team that isn’t the Panthers. I don’t want another retread I want some one new with new ideas who’s hungry to get it right the first time (although I’m certain he’s picked up some things while in NO). And after reading the athletic piece on him from 2019 I’m almost all in for Dodds for better or worse.

I prefer Peters or Dodds, but I could live with Ireland or Schoen.

For the record, as of right now it appears we're the only team set to interview Adam Peters.

There's been a lot of speculation that the Broncos would look to bring him back. So far the Broncos have requested interviews with three candidates. Peters isn't one of them.

Likewise, earlier today 49ers GM John Lynch was asked by a reporter about interview requests. He said Peters had only one (obviously, us).

If I am McDaniels and I had the choice to wait on the Patriots job, or go take the Texans job, I'm moving to Houston. 

Neither team is good right now, but the Texans have a very good franchise QB locked into a contract. With that most important piece in place, it makes things easier to build a team around. The Patriots have lost talent, and most of the remaining talent is getting older.  Patriots need a overhaul including at QB

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By Icege · Posted

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
