I don't have anything in particular against the Texans, but I'm enjoying this process just out of trainwreck curiosity

YOU RESENT?
I don’t even understand how there are employees that aren’t just fireable by the GM.

Or how they were talking about hiring a new GM & coach at the same time - surely one comes before anything else?

It's pretty cool that never being told no his entire life is making Cal dig his heels in and cling to Easterby that much more strongly because damnit no one tells him what to do

especially considering the decisionmakers are a bunch of dipshits humping the patriot way

plus if you think you're in a position to lobby for a coaching candidate and you can think of a qualified minority candidate in a sport where they're woefully underrepresented, why wouldn't you

Especially for a team with a lot of questionable racial history like the Texans

Hell, their last GM was fired when it became public he was systematically removing black employees from important FO positions

Declining to even try to interview a highly sought after coach like Bieniemi is bad optics at the very least

The best part of all this is that after burning the entire organization to the ground Cal is going to get a nice $3 billion for selling the team

Jerry Jones routines has pictures of him come out with strippers and the like and he's been known to keep notorious porn stars or whores on the payroll to help sign free agents. But I don't think he's out dropping hard rs.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's assured the Chiefs he has no interest in the job
