Scott Pioli In Talks With The Texans?
WTF?
After a disastrous 2-14 season the Texans fired Gary Kubiak and hired Penn State coach Bill O'Brien. There has been much talk as to why everyone got a pink slip but GM Rick Smith. Rick Smith was not involved in O'Brien's hiring process. Now there is speculation around Houston that Bob McNair is entertaining the notion of Scott Pioli becoming the new GM replacing Rick Smith. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/writer/...houston-texans "McNair used an outside firm to lead his coaching search, not GM Rick Smith, who is very well regarded and who has had a very strong relationship with ownership. Some have speculated that former Chiefs GM Scott Pioli, who worked with O'Brien in New England (the two also share an agent), could eventually join that franchise in some capacity as well." Must suck to be a Texans fan. Poor JJ Watt & Andre Johnson. Their careers are ****ed. |

I think Pioli could potentially do well.
His biggest issues here were (a.) his megalomania and micromanaging, and (b.) his way-too-cheap behavior in the offseason. His drafts were pretty good during his time here, and the salary floor demands he goes out and gets bigger acquisitions with a better hit rate. As for the megalomania and micromanaging, well, nothing like getting fired humbles you. |

He better hope and pray that Bill O'Brien is a great coach. If he has to hire another one, the Texans are going to get ****ed hard. Just like we were. Also, Pioli's drafts AT BEST were average. 2009 and 2010 were abortions (no, he does NOT get credit for picking Berry). 2011 averages out solely because of Houston. 2012, a draft a lot of people hated, may wind up being his best one. All in all, a pretty ****ing meh record. |

If the Texans don't pick Bridgewater, we'll know that Pioli didn't learn his lesson.
