What's going to be different this time with the clown-shoe Houston Texans after DeMeco Ryans hire?

[Peter Principle]

If he thinks he’s the exception to the rule, this franchise, which hired
and fired 2 Black coaches in consecutive seasons, will eventually remind
Ryans he’s not

Despite being an annual news story around this time of the year — due to
the circus that’s caused by the way that coaches are fired and hired in
the Lone Star State — DeMeco Ryans is returning home to be the newest head
coach of the Houston Texans. They say “home is where the heart is,” but
the Texans don’t love anybody — especially Black head coaches.

It’s not a question of “if,” but one of “when,” as Ryans has chosen to
take the worst job in the NFL, and will ultimately walk in the same shoes
as David Culley and Lovie Smith — the franchise’s last two head coaches,
who are both Black, that were fired after one season on the job.

It wouldn’t be smart for a white coach to take the Texans’ job. And at
this point, it’s nothing but a lucrative payday for Black ones — given
that the Black coaches in the past who have led that franchise haven’t
been allowed to make it through more than one training camp.

Houston, he’s home
The Texans have agreed to a six-year deal with the San Francisco 49ers’
defensive coordinator, who was once a former Defensive Rookie of the Year
who would go on to be an All-Pro and two-time Pro Bowler during his time
as a player in Houston. The length of the deal is important, as it
guarantees that Ryans will cash out whenever the Texans decide to be done
with him. The “Houston Texans” have been a franchise since 2002, and in
that time only Gary Kubiak (almost eight seasons) and Bill O’Brien (almost
seven seasons) are the longest-tenured coaches in franchise history — as
no one else has been able to stick around due to the team’s decision to
either hire someone who was sorry, or fire someone before we knew if they
were capable.
