Texans naming David Culley head coach

Ravens receiver coach David Culley beats out Leslie Frazier and Eric Bieniemy for the Texans head coaching job. His status as a friend of quarterback Deshaun Watson likely helped. Watson met Culley at the Pro Bowl a few years back and the two reportedly hit it off.

Culley also received an endorsement from Andy Reid after having worked under Reid at previous coaching stops. So the team ends up with an Andy Reid guy, just not the one people expected.

Additionally, it's reported that Watson favorite Tim Kelly will retain his job as offensive coordinator. Others said to be joining the coaching staff include Lovie Smith and possibly Josh McCown.

Despite being 65 years old, and as such the oldest first time head coach ever hired, Culley has a reputation for relating well with younger players.

Will be interesting to see wherr the Deshaun Watson saga goes from here.

65?  Wow

Yeah, and a pretty interesting life story from what I've read.

As mentioned, wasn't really on anybody's radar before this but he's getting endorsements from all over the place, most prominently from Reid.

Could turn out to be a good choice. We'll see.

McNair kept Easterby, all signs indicate Watson will be gone regardless of their coach choice. 
 

Schefter reported something similar last week. It didn’t matter who the coach was, he was gone. We will see though, there is a long time between now and the start of the new league year, a lot can change.

Absolutely. I thought a HC might could bridge the gap but Easterby is the turd in the punch bowl. Going to be interesting to watch for sure.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
