Twitter: Houston Texans hire Jimmy Johnson to advise on GM/HC search

[acr731]

Wow. Never heard of a team doing something like this. I like it.

Makes more sense than a sleepover with a lying snake.

 

[Risen Star]

Do you think Jimmy would recommend Jerry? It'd add to his legacy here.

 

[fredp22]

Jerry used Garrett as his advisor.
Jerry asked Garrett during his exit interview if MM would be good. Jason said "yes" .
end of search.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Jimmy recommends Garrett.

Still in love with Garrett, huh?

 

[G2]

This doesn't guarantee anything.

 

[The Fonz]

Smart way of doing it however the result might not be good since there is more to it than just having all star advisors .

 

[yesfan]

I believe the Dolphins have the Texans first round pick next year.

 

[GMO415]

Great idea. Jerry's an idiot who failed to hire him as a consultant years ago.

 

[Rockport]

This doesn't guarantee anything.

Who said it did? You don’t have to crap on every thread ever created. It’s not a rule or something.

Not at all. But he was arguably one of our most successful coaches the last 25 years and doesn’t appear to have been the problem many claimed he was. My claim was always he was our greatest puppet making the most of his situation with our dysfunctional organization.

Jimmy had already touted Garrett as the next Lions HC and spoken highly of him. I’m not sure why I’d align more with some agenda driven Lynch Mob anonymous yahoo’s on a fan site that notable Cowboy greats like Jimmy and Troy.

Lmao. Your best post ever.

 

[Mannix]

Jimmy said that we are good with Corky....so, there's that.

PR move to gain fan support after BOB GM failure

 

[Praxit]

I wouldn’t be so sure of that, I think we lose tomorrow, just a hunch.

..might be a good thing too. Good things happen when Jerry is infuriated. ..

I’m not on team tank for draft picks but if I knew it would cause something as drastic as Jerrah hiring an actual GM then I would run for president of team tank.

Wow. Never heard of a team doing something like this. I like it.

Actually, there's a tweet out there that it's NOT an advisory committee but the owner is indeed getting advice from all three. Remember he has admitted he'll also get input from Watson.

So wait, you can actually put together a group of experienced, successful NFL professionals in order to pick their brain and make the beat decision possible for your team? I thought you had to hire the first guy whose name popped up when you Googled "former Superbowl head coach." I wonder if Jerry knows this is allowed.

While I love jimmy, at this point he is more knowledgeable and up to speed on fishing and beer than he is on cutting edge football....

Like many the game has passed him by strategy wise but he’s perfect in terms of being a judge of character and networking.....not a gm type and way past coaching so a consulting type of role is perfect

grewt to hear

Actually, I believe part of Jimmy’s expertise will always be needed: How to rebuild a strong culture. If you look at his whole career at all levels, Jimmy was a master builder of a strong football culture. Toughness, vision, and how to motivate. Everything we're missing right now.

It’s pretty safe bet he’d be a candidate, and Jimmy would lend some validation to the hire. I’m sure there are multiple capable candidates on the list, though. It’d be fun to have him back in Texas, though. I like the move to have Jimmy involved by the Texans.
