Deshaun spoke up about this ridiculousness publicly after he'd already made it known that he respected him and wanted him seriously considered for the job. And then the rest of the Texans stuff came out. And then the Texans requested the interview. This is seeming very much like them trying to save face because their players, not just Deshaun, and their fans, were outraged when it became known they hadn't even requested an interview. Texans players have been strongly advocating for him as the next coach.

If' I'm Eric, I think twice about taking this position in the current situation if it's offered. A front office that never wanted you suddenly hiring you to basically try to save your franchise QB from forcing a trade is a dicey situation. I'd absolutely talk to Deshaun first to see if he's open to staying if he comes on board.
I know the situation isn't great, but Watson is one of the top 5 quarterbacks in the league. If you can somehow get him to buy in and somehow put some pieces around him, you've got a team. Big ifs, but still, a quarterback is what you want to build around. Of the coaching positions which were open this year, Houston's the only one which has a solid franchise quarterback.

The Texans hiring Bieniemy does a lot. It helps them negotiate with Deshaun. It makes them attractive to any incoming offensive draft picks. Simply, it is a good choice.
You have to wonder why the obvious decision is so difficult (I know why, but sometimes it is still hard to swallow).

One thing I've noticed is people like feeling smart when watching shows/movies - I love it when they are able to make a twist seem like you are figuring it out a little before you should be, or at least before it becomes obvious.

I wonder if sports is similar in a way - it makes us feel smart because so many times we are watching games or hirings and we are screaming because they aren't making the obvious choice/decision.

I think Eric would take it if Deshaun stays. Deshaun staying is not a done deal if you didn't know. The most reliable NFL reporters are hearing that he's played his last snap as a Texan.

He has a no trade clause in his contract. If he wants to go, he's going. He's completely in control of the situation which is why the Texans are already looking at trade deals. But Deshaun has to sign off on any team they send him to.

Exactly. Dan Campbell, the Tight Ends Coach for the New Orleans Saints as of a week ago, now the head coach of the Detroit Lions.

I added a longer clip to the original post too.

As the resident who lives closest to the home of the Lions - it is truly embarrassing that we neither got Saleh (the hometown boy who professed his wont to coach the Lions) nor Bienemy but a "hungry" coach who has sincere lack of "reps" in appropriate position.

Let's just trade Stafford to Indy and get this over with.

Saleh interviewed with the Lions first. So they had their shot at getting him before the Jets.

A lot of Stafford to the Colts talk. Not sure I see it happening because the Lions don't have a high enough draft pick (it seems right now at least) to get one of the more sought after QBs this year. So will they really trade their franchise QB without that? It's not like the Colts have a high draft pick to trade them. We'll see. There's several that are saying Matthew wants out. And with the recent reports, I've wondered if that's why he put that house on the market last year.

To absolutely no one's surprise Mahomes has cleared the concussion protocol.

This guy sound... erudite :?
This is a joke and an insult. I said it at the beginning of this season: every player, on the first day of next season, must take a knee. Otherwise the little sign in the back of your helmet, the one that can't be read without a x100 telescope, is a joke.

I still say that game is 50/50. He may have cleared the protocol. It does not mean he is 100%.

Oh I agree. There is no way he will be 100%.
