The Caserio hire was when the relationship fell apart. They give Watson his promised input and not only do they hire someone else, that someone else fires Easterby and the head coach is probably Bieniemy

Easterby is bad but this is all on the real culprit, the McNair failson

The classic Nigerian Prince e-mail scams succeeded because of how absurdly obvious they were on the surface. By the time every person too critical to get taken for that ride is filtered out right from the start, you're left with only the biggest suckers.

Because I'm a 35 year old child, I printed three full page blowups of Nic Caserios Crazy face and hid them in three strategic locations for my wife to find:

1) In her pillowcase - Took her a week to find this.
2) Under her work paperwork - Took her a day.
3) in her Jewelry box - Took her two weeks to find.

Thanks Houston Texans for all the fun.

A couple of pieces have come out in the last few days about the Luv Ya Blue era, how it ended (Bud Adams firing Bum Phillips), and how it was the beginning of the end of the Houston Oilers. Not sure if these pieces are as a warning to the McNairs about the path they're on or if the media is starting to butter up Houstonians to the prospect of losing the Texans:

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/31003656/luv-ya-blue-houston-oilers-bum-phillips-earl-campbell - This one covers the love affair Houston had with the late 70s Oilers and paints a picture of a time that will probably never happen with the Texans :(

https://www.houstonchronicle.com/texas-sports-nation/john-mcclain/articleComments/McClain-Oilers-disintegration-should-be-a-16007535.php - A John McClain piece so the usual grain of salt applies, but goes into the firing of Bum Phillips and later a similar scene when the Oilers announce they were leaving for Tennessee.

e - And just to paint a picture of just how things were in the late 70s, here's footage from a 8mm camera someone brought to a homecoming rally with 70,000 in the Astrodome after the Oilers lost their first AFC title game to the Steelers:

I loved playing as the Oilers in Tecmo, because even in the 8-bit era, having a QB who could scramble was fuckin' trouble for opposing defense. It helped that Houston had a fabulous o-line and good WR, too.

The early 90s Oilers were ridiculously stacked, they should have won at least one Superbowl. I guess the run and shoot just doesn't work. Like the 35-3 game where they should have been able to just eat away the clock but the scheme doesn't really allow for it. No establishing the run

e: as much as we laugh at the 24-0 blown lead, 35-3 against a team running their backup QB is so much worse

Yeah, Pardee was an early example of someone poaching UH's coaching staff, where they perform well for a few years and then flame out.

And I saw a bunch more Luv Ya Blue nostalgia in my Facebook feed this morning. I guess it's a community thing right now.

Jack Pardee coached a CFL team the one year of their American expansion after that, and as a season ticket holder for the entirety of the lifespan of the Birmingham Barracudas, I got to see how it didn't work anymore in the CFL either.

He supposedly punched Gilbride for not kneeling with 18 seconds left in the half and the offense turned the ball over, but he was definitely trying to get the job at this point. I believe the following season is when he left
