Before we jump into the mail, a few things to get to on the coaching carousel …
• Houston’s situation is fascinating, and this much we know—Texans owner Cal McNair has a lot of people in his ear, with the search firm Korn Ferry, a loosely-assembled advisory committee and EVP of football operations Jack Easterby in the mix. That has made some candidates leery on what the path out of this will look like for the next coach and GM, with so many competing interests in play.
It’s also the job that I see Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy having the clearest path to.
