I would love for him to get peanut Tillman as a defensive back coach
I was shocked to find out that FBI Agent makes more than 20K more on average than an NFL DB coach…unless I did the maths wrong
@Eric Bahr highly doubt that
Tillman said he always wanted to be an FBI agent. But went into the NFL to play football instead
@Mike O maybe not, just googled average salaries for both and thats what it came up with. Didn’t look any further than that though so maybe not
I will be watching Texas now.
I believe he gone bring in Andre Johnson as a WR coach
@Eric Jackson He had many years to prove himself at Illinois. They made absolutely no improvement the entire time that he was there.
@Greg P He sucked as a college coach and had no business there. I’m not judging an NFL coach by their college track record. If that were a valid measure, Urban Meyer should’ve been the second coming of Bill Belichek.
@Eric Jackson Okay, but man, if Lovie Smith was really a good head coaching prospect in the year 2022, don’t you think at least one team of the nine other teams that needed head coaches would have requested an interview with him? I think he is mostly considered a relic of the past. I mean the defensive schemes that he runs are ancient, and the defense was horrible last season.
@Greg P I don’t think he is who the Texans had in mind honestly. I think they fired Culley when Flores was available (Flores and Cesario with the New England connection). Once the lawsuit happened, my guess is that was out. I’m not even under the impression they did a real search and interview process. Josh McCown was a leading candidate for Christ sake. I don’t think he was a hot candidate either. I do think he was given a bad deal in a horrible FO situation in Chicago. He basically got a gift. Hope it works out.
@Eric Jackson Okay. Sounds reasonable. And I agree. I don’t think the Texans even had a real serious search for a coach. They interviewed 6 people, while the average number of people that the other teams interviewed was 14.
Go Lovie! Go Texans!! Hope he can take us to win a SB with Davis and the boys.
6-11
I hope this time Texans do way better 💚
Honestly wanted Lovie after Kubs. While almost a decade later, glad we finally got him. Hopefully he can get this franchise back on track. Congrats Lovie!
I know Lovie will do well. I’m confident Nick will trade Deshaun for high draft picks come NFL draft. The talent is already there on the defensive side.
There’s absolutely very little talent on both sides of the ball.
@Scott Green The Texans were top 10 in the NFL in takeaways last season. They were also the only team in the NFL who was top 10 in takeaways not to make playoffs, either.
Meh
As long as he keeps that beard his whole tenure I’ll be okay with it. Pep Hamilton as the OC is what made me happy about this staff
LOL! I AGREE! MAGNIFICANT! Isn’t it?
Hopefully with Pep as OC we won’t see as much running down the middle anymore
You have to run up the middle to keep linebackers from cheating.
@Robert Craft I don’t mind running down the middle….just not every dam play like Tim used to do…made us too predictable
Not gone lie he killed it last year on defense no cap 🔥
Hell ya it was the best thing we had to offer last season
Im honestly disappointed that I don’t see Jack Easterbay congratulating Lovie Smith. Congrats Lovie hope you make the texans strong again.
As a Bears Fan I approve this hire! Go Lovie!
In agreement, as another Bears fan. Texas has a honorable man in Lovie Smith as coach, Congrats!
I don’t think Lovie ever got a fair shake down here in Tampa either. I wish him well.
I’m a Bears fan and you got a Great Coach! He shouldn’t have been fired after 2012. I am rooting for you guys!
This is coming from a Bears fan that never wanted Lovie to go. Give this man what he needs. And HE WILL WIN
@Greg P He’s a diversity hire and a coach with a terrible win loss record
Stop living in the past
@Logan Stolberg how is thinking he’s a good coach living in the past ? I just want the guy to get a chance. If he wins, great. If he doesn’t, Texans get a new coach
@Yrvan Michel The reason that I am a couple of people responded the way we did is that it does seem like your living in the past in your original post. You said that he will win based on what he did with the Bears some fifteen or so years ago. That’s the distant past in the NFL. It’s better to look at how someone has done more recently and if you look at Lovie Smith it hasn’t been pretty. I wish him the best of luck, he was once a good coach years and years ago, and he seems like a really good guy, but I’m setting the bar extremely low
@Yrvan Michel yeah i live in illinois as well. He couldn’t recruit st louis and failed to recruit his own state somehow .Now to be fair he did increase the talent that went into the nfl. As a bear fan though . That’s my coach
I hope they give home a real chance. Great coach! Great person!
I love the Bears. But I was really mad when he was let go in Chicago. He will be great with the Houston Texans. If they put the town around him he will go to the Super Bowl
As a Bear fan I miss Lovie after the last two HCs. Lovie will not be high power and not flashy but he will bring discipline, focus, and drive to the Texans. The man is a motivator, a great motivator.
I love the hire. I was scared; I thought we would lose Lovie as a DC in 2022. I really hope we get a really good offensive line and defensive line coach.
Texas has a honorable man in Lovie Smith as coach. As a Bear fan, I can barely wait to see him as head coach in NFL again. I’m wondering if Watson will stay as QB1 to benefit from Lovie’s experience. That would be something special to see them work together.
I’m a Colts fan, but I want the best for Lovie Smith and the Houston Texans! Let’s get some more competition in the AFC South!
As a Bears fan I wish Lovie all of the success in the world!
