Y'know you could post something instead of forcing people to go to reddit.

Cal McNair is apparently very close with former GM Rick Smith. How much do you want to bet that dingus is about to be re-inserted as the Texans GM.

At least it isn't a Stephen A. Smith video?

Odd timing, for sure

I was about to say thats strange considering they hired him last January but then I remembered the guy who hired him (Bob McNair) is no longer alive, so who knows.

1 yr into a 5 year deal, didn't really get a fair shake

I don't get this. Him and BOB seemed to be on the same page. Must be something with Cal McNair or a personal problem. Or they don't like how is handling Clowney.

 

[GKJ]

O’Brien should definitely feel less safe.

 

[Voight]

Rick Smith is still #1 is he not? He isn't GM by name anymore but from what I believe he still calls the shots.

I heard about this, very strange timing for sure on this 1.

How do teams fire GM's after the draft and FA and expect the new guy to have a chance with players that aren't his. It's like someone buys ingredients, starts cooking them, and halfway thru making someone else take over when the food is ruined. If everything was good, he'd still be there. What good GM will come in being handcuffed like this. They'll only get someone with barely any experience who is trying to make their name.

Martin Mayhew's name has been out there, so they're definitely looking at experience.

This situation is definitely not getting better nor looking good.

They are just trying to get compensation from the Texans.

He was fired for singling out and firing African Americans

If that's the case, then that's fine he was fired because that could've been much more trouble down the line, apart from how shitty it is. But I wouldn't say the situation doesn't look any better.

In Cal McNair's statement, he mentioned his high character. I think they just thought he could be upgraded upon. They have a new guy in from the Patriots who evaluates everyone, and apparently that is why he got the axe.

but the tampering charges

That is a way for the Patriots to potentially get compensation for him.
