    It was the GM rankings that recently came out that did it, wasn't it?

    They're clearly letting Butt Chin run the show and they're only going to interview his predetermined list of candidates.

    I'd be willing to bet that the next GM of the Houston Texas will be...

    Just a f***ing joke of an organization. My wife put us on the season ticket waiting list a couple of years ago. I told her I wasn't terribly interested but we're still there because it's still years before I'd have to make a decision. I'm getting off that list ASAP.

    Actually agree with this. The Texans need a clear direction and they don’t have it.

    How much rope does Billy boy get? How many people will he run out of town before Cal realizes he’s probably a fraud?

    Brian is out of this shithole organization so I'm happy for him.

    https://www.si.com/nfl/2019/06/07/houston-texans-fire-gm-brian-gaine

    We’ll get more dirt on the firing in the days and weeks to come, but Gaine should be able to deflect any criticism that comes his way. People in the business always mention how hard it is to get a second shot in the GM chair, but Gaine could counter by saying: Whose fault is it that we couldn’t protect Deshaun Watson in my only season here—the guy who had no first-round or second-round pick in his first year on the job, or the guy who kept calling designed runs for a quarterback already taking a beating?

    Maybe the rumors are true, and Houston, along with the Jets, is chasing Eagles personnel man Joe Douglas. Maybe he’s that good. Maybe the Texans make some other creature-comfort maneuver to pacify the head coach because, at least from the outside, that seems to be most important. (Adam Schefter is floating a gaggle of Patriots executives.)

    Either way, the team let someone go who didn’t deserve to be fired that way—like a person doing a bad job and not a person who didn’t even have the time and opportunity to build a foundation—seemingly because another person who should be taking equal blame for whatever is wrong believed that a change had to happen.
