RAC is the Texans interim HC. There’s an endless buffet of analysis and commentary pieces on the world wide web. I’ll attempt to list a few. Feel free to add into the comments section things you find out there.z
BoB is Out, Easterby Remains. For How Long? And in What Role?

A question emerges about Jack Easterby’s NFL biography
Meaningless oversight. That’s the Texans’ official response to an inquiry by ProFootballTalk. Maybe there’s some semantics at play, i.e. “Assistant TO the director of football operations” isn’t the same as “Assistant Director of Football Operations.” Is this PFT being sharky, or is there something there worth some criticism of the Texans organization and/or Easterby?
Patriots.com Spotlight on Jack Easterby (Nov. 2018 article)
At Newberry College in South Carolina, Easterby captained the basketball and golf teams while majoring in sports management. Upon graduation in 2005, he landed a job with Jacksonville Jaguars football operations. Working mainly on salary cap matters, he quickly realized it didn’t suit him. So, he enrolled at Erskine and Liberty Theological Seminaries.
“Just really wanted to learn more about Scripture and how to apply things more specifically to everyday life,” he explains. “I love people. I love Microsoft Excel, but not that much. I felt like I was called to go back and build relationships.”
OMB Notes: Houston 12-year veteran numbers guy, Chris Olsen, was elevated to interim GM on June 7, 2019, after Brian Gaine was fired and then Olsen was fired January 19, 2020.
According to a Sept. 12, 2020, HoustonChronicle.com article that factored in Watson’s new deal: In 2021, the Texans have 38 players under contract and are currently projected at roughly $6.9 million over the projected salary-cap limit of $175 million. The NFL and NFL Players Association could come up with a higher cap figure depending on how bad a hit they take in terms of lost revenue this year.
Report: Bill O’Brien lost the team after Texans’ 33-16 loss to the Ravens
Former Houston Texans coach Bill O’Brien may have lost the team after the club’s 33-16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 2.
According to Dianna Russini of ESPN, the offense was frustrated with the lack of production through the first two weeks, even resulting in what Russini referred to as a “verbal blowup” in practice.
Watson’s Mentor A Key Piece To HC Search?
Read the replies in the 2nd tweet below. Multiple people replying with what I’ve read in the past (last year) that Reid calls the plays and Bienemy relays the call into Mahomes’ helmet. An issue I have with Quincy is he cuts people down to size about their lack of knowledge, and yet he’s connected to Watson and many other players throughout NCAA and NFL…and doesn’t know if Bienemy is calling the plays or not, or he’s stating he’s right and asking people to tell him he’s wrong. That’s a detail you ought to know by now, it’s not EB’s 1st game on the sideline.
