When someone with no coaching experience turns down your head coaching job and you are down to Lovie Smith as a HC option, you know you are in trouble. Nobody wants that Houston job.

From what I understand, McCown didn’t turn down the Texans.  They informed him that he would not be getting the job.  I think they wanted to hire him, but hiring a white head coach was no coaching experience whatsoever when there are minority candidates with impressive resumes available would have lit the fuse of the powder keg.  So they get an experienced HC in Lovie, and now that’s two blind squirrels (Jags, Texans) that found nuts.   It must have been raining acorns during this coaching cycle.

I’m all in on Pederson though, and I’m going to trust his judgment as he assembles his coaching staff.
