For context, head coach candidate Chung was told by an interviewer that he wasn’t the “right minority”

Now why this could possibly be the Texans is because during the offseason, the only team that hired a head coach that was the “right minority” happened to be Houston. The only other minority head coach hired was Saleh who is also of the “wrong minority” while every other vacancy was filled by white men and it has been no secret that Houston was specifically looking for a black head coach. While I don’t think it was the Texans who directly made that call, the fact that it could have been the search firm McNair hired will only make people think the Texans did it if of course it was the firm.

Story dropped over the weekend so I do expect it to be more widely covered when the talking heads for sports talk shows come back to their day jobs

Not only is Walker of a similar size to Taylor but both have very similar play styles (although Walker might be a big lighter on his feet). Another plus is that not only did he play for two teams in completely different leagues in 2020 (and completely different systems I might add), but when Bridgewater got injured he managed to step in and do enough to win despite having what one can imagine where very limited practice snaps in Carolina due to COVID restrictions and the fact that Carolina was at the time installing in Bridgewater into their system and probably got all the attention in practice.

Now that Carolina is going with Darnold and will probably be looking for a backup that is more similar in size and playstyle, it doesn’t hurt to make some sort of offer to the Panthers for a guy they probably don’t care too much for in the first place. Good insurance in case Tyrod gets injured (again) and at least the Texan offense won’t be too different if Walker has to step in

All Caserio has to do at this point is to build a team that can win more than 4 games and it will be seen as an improvement, even breaking even will make him look like a franchise savior

Watson on the other hand has used up his one free ” I hate my team” card. If he can’t get past the divisional round or even worse doesn’t even make the playoff in a team that doesn’t have any picks (due to them trading them all away to Houston) or is stuck in a situation where the team has no cap (due to his contract) then all the blame for his team’s failures will be on him while rumors about him being unhappy will follow him forever, its minimum conference championship or bust for him
