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.

      Sticking it to America's Team

      forgot to include the quote: best play in panther history   Pretty great.  X Clown also. I was always real fond of Jake’s 1st play vs Jacksonville simply for his entrance into the huddle which completely woke people up. That and what they went on to do in that game was a major turning point for the franchise.IMO. Kris Jenkins’ kick xp block vs TB is a big one for me.

      Falcons got Cousins and Penix

      I certainly wouldn't be surprised if that happened.  We might take a shot with say a fourth rounder if there is someone the staff likes.

      Every Big-Time Throw from Bryce Young and CJ Stroud in 2023

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I interpreted your original reply as the team could have success if the new players and coaches were really good, AND they created an offense that didn't count on the QB being a primary contributor. Because you think Bryce won't be able to hold up his end. I think you confirm that above. My only point is that I don't see how anyone can say definitively what Bryce Young will be in the league yet, based on his supporting cast from last season. And it seems those that have already decided that Bryce Young is a bust, likely just didn't like him as the pick in the first place. A little context for me... lots of folk here didn't like Cam while he was a Panther either. It had very little to do with him as a talent. And just for the record, I really am not invested in Bryce Young. I didn't want the team to move up for a QB at all in 2023. I thought 2024 would be the year to go for a QB. But when they did, I ordered the QBs as Anthony Richardson, then CJ, then Bryce. The disfunction from the front office, to the playcalling, to the scheme, to the oline and the receivers was just not a good situation. Horrible actually. Asking a rookie to perform with all that adversity is just not realistic to me, at any position let alone QB. So to me, the verdict is still out. I don't know if he can be the guy because the situation he was in last year was set up to fail from the start. In preseason, as soon as I saw the oline couldn't figure out how to even slow down the Jets' pass rush (particularly stunts) and the receivers were locked up like Fort Knox, I knew we were in for a long season.
