there were some philosophical things that maybe we saw
a little differently. So instead of trying to work those things
out
like normal human beings would do, you know,
we really value what you did here, you performed well under
adverse circumstances, the team shows a level of toughness and
there's respect, and there's admiration, but there are some
some minor philosophical issues on which we don't see
eye-to-eye and we Eve that the only appropriate way to deal
with issues like that is to fire you. I the nonchalance
it reminds me of Matt rule when he was talking about the firing
of Joe. Brady like well, you know, we just need to make you
I just,
you know, instead of trying to work it out with the people you
have people to whom you have committed millions of dollars.
You just tell them
to get out it. I don't know whether this is
Part and parcel of
the fact that they constantly fire players,
because that's what football teams do.
They get numb to it? What do you do?
You're going to have 90 guys who are employed by you to be
football players and then Labor Day weekend or right about that
time a few days earlier now, so people can actually enjoy Labor
Day weekend in the NFL, they fire 37 of them.
And I know there's a step before they get there. But by
the end of August
37, out of 90, guys will be fired. And then it's a constant
churn all year. Along, this guy's fired that guys fired.
This guys hired that guys fired and I don't know if the ease
with, which general managers do that with players, makes it
easier to do it with coaches. I don't
get it. I don't understand it and, and I don't buy it at
the end of the day.
I think that everything that that guy said today is bull
bleep. Thank you. I think that they're lying.
I think they hired David collie with the plan
on firing him after one year.
I don't buy any of what Nick Castillo said. He did a great
job of feeding. It's a line of BS today with a straight face.
Well Done. Congratulations, Nick, but I just don't, I don't
believe him.
I don't believe him.
And he may not like that. I don't care. I don't believe
him. It doesn't add up to me because if it really did come
down to some minor philosophical differences,
normal human beings would work them out and keep a valued
employee
on the team as the coach.
Well, especially after they went through all that, they
went through in the offseason. They deconstructed that roster
and he still won the say, a lot of
Games that the 2020 team won and I mean, this team. Yeah,
I went for and 13 but let's just talk about some of the things
that happened over the course of the season and I think you
can start with Davis Mills development over those last
five
games. I mean, he completed sixty eight percent of his
passes just over twelve fifty passing yards. 9 touchdowns two
picks passer rating over 100 was a very good solid numbers
and that I think you can impartially
a tribute to David Kali becomes. Does he was there, you
know, he had Davis moles at 300 yards, three touchdowns against
the Texans and week 18. They were fighting they made
the Texans truly earn that number one overall seed. So I think
because Ariel said a lot without saying anything at all
today, right? And I kind of agree with you that a lot of
This is BS. We can say that the Texans are dysfunctional, but
I frankly believe that this is exactly the way they wanted.
The season to function in that, you know, you just kind of
get through it, you know. You let David Coley do whatever
he's going to do and you get rid of him. Frankly. He
probably over performed
the level that they thought that he was going to. And now
it's like, well, well, we kind of have to justify getting rid
of this guy because even though you could say, you know, there
are 114 games. Like it was one of the worst rosters in
the NFL.
Again, these guys beat the Chargers when they had so many
dudes on the covid list and Justin Herbert still playing.
I mean, there's just there's not much you can say other than
this is clearly some sort.
Plan that they already had and David Kelly didn't really have
much of a chance
and I'm surprised that they ultimately went through with
this plan because
Nick is surreal was able. Well, I
I the reason I started to go the other way, was because
David collie allowed Nick Castillo
to be head. Coach Puppet Master.
Unless Nick is Stereo just doesn't like that. Maybe he
felt like he had to do it. You know, for years. Nick has
stereo in New England. Had a headset on game days. He did
not have a headset to speak.
He had a headset
to listen. Now. If someone would ask him a question, he
would answer it obviously, but he didn't have it as
a proactive measure for him to contribute to the discourse
among the coaches,
with the Texans.
He was involved. He was in David Collies ear. He was
telling David Kelly along with Romeo Crennel who had been
the interim coach last year and
and is no longer on the staff per se, but he's a senior
adviser. They were, they were helping David Kali. They were
actively involved. And,
you know, if you have a coach that
really, any other coach is going to say, no, no. No, this
is not how it works. You don't tell me what to do. You let me
coach the team or
or you don't let me coach the team.
So, so that's when I started to think that maybe they would
give this Kali thing a try that. Maybe they were wrong,
that maybe Kali it over achieved. It may be their plan,
you know, the dysfunctional team that comes up with
a functional plan finds out, its plan was dysfunctional because
David Cowie ended up being better
than we thought that there's a premise of a bad movie in here
somewhere. Where, you know, it's almost like major league
Major League about your Cleveland. Indians,
right? We we are hiring David collie
with the plan that he will be horrible. That will have the
First overall pick in the draft and that will go hire somebody
else next year. After we begin the more meaningful process of
rebuilding this organization, but we don't want to win this
year. And then all of a sudden, David Kali,
starts winning, football games,
and maybe they changed their plan to say, we got a decent
coach here. Let's keep him. I I just I,
the whole thing to me stinks and
and, you know, somebody raised the question. Well, you know,
Nick and Sarah is ready. Take a chance here because you only
get to hire two general managers or
general manager only gets hired to coach.
Coaches before he's on the hot seat.
I don't know. This one counts.
I think it was a mulligan. I think it was a redshirt year
for everybody. And David collie was the the personification of
the red shirt that Nick caesarea and Jackie's to be
War.
Yeah. I know. I totally agree with you on that. I mean, what
evidence is there to say that kalmyk near would get rid of
Jackie sturby and or Nick to stereo? Just because this next
head coach doesn't work out. I
don't really buy that. Just based on what we've learned
about that. Nation in the way things are functioning in
the last year year and a half or so. It just I don't think that
that's
going to be the case.
The bottom line is
and I mean, I've pissed everybody else off this week.
So I'll go ahead and say it Cal. McNair is the Salton
Jackie's to be as Jafar, plain, and simple,
and until the spell is broken
by someone,
the cow McNair stops listening to Jafar Easter. He's going to
run that show. Whoever Easter be wants to be. The GM is going
to be the GM and if he's to be decided at some point, caesarea
is not the guy, you know, what's gonna happen. Concerns
not going to be the guy anymore. I think he's to be, is
the guy who realized, once he really started taking a lot of
public. Like last year when people started
to scratch and look at his background and,
you know, some reports started to come out about
his ways and he's
stick and
he got smart up comments, appear things and all that
stuff. It disappeared, right? And yeah, he disappeared. He
knew the only way to survive was to assume the lowest
profile possible and that's what he's done,
but he's done it. And it's worked
and And I think he's automatically the Puppet
Master. He's all timely the guy in charge of the Texans because
he has cow McNair
under his spell and
Texans fans. Sorry, but this is how it works is how it works.
You can't fire your owner.
You just got to deal with it until he decides to hand
the reins to somebody else in the family or sell the team to
someone else.
