Cal McNair, a normally hands-off owner, is now more involved with the Texans'...
Texans CEO Cal McNair, left, and GM Nick Caserio wait to address the media after firing head coach Lovie Smith Monday, Jan. 9, 2023 in Houston. Texans ended the season 3-13.The day Lovie Smith was introduced as head coach of the Texans, a fire alarm interrupted the organization’s press conference. The harsh electronic noise blared inside NRG Stadium for several minutes before someone finally shut it off.
It is quite notable that McNair, a normally hands-off owner, is now more involved. Caserio said he admitted he needs to listen more to the people in the building. He was hired with a unique autonomy and is accepting that he didn’t wield that as well as he could have in his first two hires.Smith’s hiring was presented as a celebration. The fire alarm intruded with a palpable warning. McNair and Caserio passed Smith off as the candidate of their choice.
Caserio intimated he discussed the position with more candidates than were reported. But at the tail end of that first weekend in February 2022, it was Smith, a two-time NFL head coach, who provided Caserio with a credible backup plan. The blatant pivot, who at the time believed the Texans might have stumbled into a potential blessing with Smith, a former NFL Coach of the Year who led the Bears to Super Bowl XLI.
