Month: September 2020

I’m not sure Cal would have the slightest idea how to navigate a rebuilding of the front office. He strikes me as a person who doesn’t want any responsibility or accountability for how the team performs ON THE FIELD. He likes the money he’s making, and I’m sure he pays himself handsomely for his “efforts”. Not much is known about this guy. If you search youtube there are a couple of interviews of him from various functions. He seems like a decent enough person but he does not strike me as someone who has any kind of exceptional ability or talents. We all know the story about Cal, he’s the only son of a billionaire. Nice gig if you can get it. I would like to help Cal navigate through these murky waters and get the organization moving in the right direction. Right now it’s stuck in second gear.

1 – Get a GM. I know Houston is not an ideal landing spot but with the right level of authority, the value of the franchise, and mcNair’s willingness to spend some money. At least he’s not a miser constantly at the floor of the cap. He’s signed off on some big contracts over the last few years so he will spend the money. I think the biggest question is what to do with Easterby. I don’t know how that guy git where he is. I’m sure he’s a nice person but does he really know what it takes to create a winning program? NE let him go so jury is out. I would think McNair would have to get rid of him as well if he wanted a GM that can rebuild it. Who would that person be?

My best candidate would be Omar Kahn – Steelers VP of football ops – native of Louisiana, has been with the Steelers for almost 20 years working closely with Colbert and drafted and signed/extended 27 Pro Bowl Players.

We need to start with a GM, who could then name a coach. Moving this thing into a winner will take some exotic thinking, not sure we have the ownership that can do that. What’s the next move should OB lose the gig?

Well, we are all in a great place mentally after the first few weeks, huh? Honestly, the best time I’ve had during these early game weeks has been talking about meat smoking and such with everyone, so let’s keep it going!

First, pork butt last Sunday turned out AMAZING! I highly reccomend just doing a simple rub of salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder and paprika, its fantastic. And it was probably one of my most tedious smokes to date. The fire wouldn’t start where I wanted, was constantly tending it, and it STILL turned out great. I guess there’s a lesson in persistence there that could be applied to the Texans, but I’m gonna wait until they show me something to actually be excited about.

For this week, I’m gonna do some turkey legs. My first gameday smoke on the Thursday we played the Chiefs (f**k I want Biennemy as our coach) was turkey breast and it turned out well, but it was a little peppery. Also, I miss the renaissance fair down in Houston, so having a big ol’ Turkey leg to munch on at least gives me that feeling.
