NFL Shocker: Texans part ways with Jack Easterby

[Mr. Scot]

Someone recently compared Panthers exec Steven Drummond's influence in the Panthers organization to Easterby's in Houston (still not buying that) but Easterby himself is out.

Well they’ve sucked ass since he got there. Same as we have with Tepper!

I could see Drummond being similar on some levels.  He might not be the toxic figure Easterby is....but he could still be way overpowered in the org given his background.

From everything I heard about Easterby then it is a great move for them. I am shocked their owner did this because he seemed like a great fit there, not good but fit. What is next Kiem gets fired along with Clingsberries? Bad NFL owners doing good things? Craziness

The basic comparison is that he's a guy influencing major football decisions despite having pretty much zero football background.

And toxic or not, it is fair to point out he played a big role in the hiring of Matt Rhule.

Does make you wonder if Rhule's colossal failure has any effect on his status.

I would imagine it might.  I think Rhule was a such a dumpster fire that I would imagine it is a sore spot with Tepper. 

and Drummond isn't a Tepper guy.  He is another hold over from the prior era.  Pretty much the last one of note.

Valid. We'd heard Tepper trusted him a lot (having him be part of the coaching search validated that).

But now?

I think Tepper would be best served to purge any holdovers from the prior era that are either not a good fit or don’t have sufficient NFL experience. We need more “football people” making decisions not JAGs.

pls no

[TheBigKat]

Isn't he the guy that basically ran off Watson

[TheRumGone]

He’s a legit psycho and we should have nothing to do with him. 

[Shocker]

Never heard of em

Tepper should take a hint with our former communication director who is apparently now running things on the football side for some stupid reason.

WTF, just when I thought Tepper couldn't possibly get any stupider this comes out. What a disaster this team is under Tepper. I honestly do wonder if he's intentionally running it into the ground so Charlotte/NC don't give him money for a new stadium and he can move the team. The soccer thing was so he can divert the blame saying he wanted to be here long term but the city/state gave him no choice. What a piece of sh*t this dude is.
