Watson doesn't wanna play for you guys anymore, but luckily I think you guys got something with Mills if they can get him some weapons and a decent defense.

Watson gave us 2 playoffs the years before the 4 wins. We were scoring enough with watson on that 4 win season, but our defense straight up sucked

[@richardmourdock2719]

A few years back I was eating lunch in Indianapolis. It was a few weeks after the Colts beat Luvvie's Bears in the SuperBowl. Always thought he was a class act so I told the waitress to give me his check and not tell him who paid for it other than "A colts fan who admires your approach to the game." Somehow he got the waitress to point out who bought his lunch and he came over and sat down with us for about fifteen minutes. Beyond a class act! Still a Colts fan and will feel badly cheering against the Texans... but he is the guy who can turn that franchise around.

After all what has Chicago done since then? One division title, Two playoff appearances and zero title / conference championship game berths in the same time span of nine years… He’s no Mike Tomlin nor Andy Reid, but the man builds healthy team culture, consistently great Defenses, and commands the love / respect of a locker room like a true leader of men!

Lovie has had one heck of a pro career so far: His jobs have included working for Tony Dungy in the 90s as a LBs coach down in Tampa, as a D-coordinator for Mike Martz and going to a SuperBowl in 2001, building a perennially elite defense from 2004-12 in Chicago (as a Head Coach who also went to another SuperBowl and faced off against his mentor in Tony D.), then back to Tampa in the same capacity for a couple of years, before taking time off to reflect and renew on his coaching philosophy (via shadowing others in visits around the League), then after a TV gig, he went down to a very well known college in the Univ. of Illinois (at Urbana-Champaign) for a few years as again an HC, before coming back to the NFL to man the defense of Houston (as a D-coordinator), and now getting his third pro head coaching job (recently promoted to HC of the Texans) in 17 years!

[@DianaRussia531]

Lovie was the right move for the Texans despite all the hemming and wretching from the media and vlogs. Caserio has done a good job clearing out the cap and striping the team down while hitting on all his draft picks last year. Texans one more year away from winning but it's not the OB train wreck of the past.
