My expectations for him would be atleast playoffs by year 3. If better and earlier than that then its just cherries on top.
He's going to be fired by the end of year 3. The Texans are a mess from the very top down. He made the mistake of picking a familiar situation over picking the best situation. If your first job as a HC goes poorly it's tough to get that 2nd chance. He's a defensive minded guy that picked a team with no QB and a clueless FO.
+1
He should've learned from Saleh's situation.
On the bright side, the Texans were competitive against a lot of really good teams last year and he won't have to play any powerhouse teams or superstar QB's in the AFC South.
If they were competitive then just how bad is the team? Its kinda contradictive to the previous poster who said the team is a mess from top to bottom.
I have no issues with him going to the Texans. Just like any HC gig, the only thing that matters is QB. Saleh appears to have swung and miss with Wilson as QB. If he drafted the right QB he'd be sitting pretty right now.
Signing Garoppolo will solve the problem. Davis Mills might still develop with a good system and coaching. Last season was a mess. Now draft a developmental prospect and Ryans should be good to go. There is a good amount of young talent on that team.
Why draft a developmental project when you have the 2 pick? Select one of the top rated guys and develop him. Mills can be the back up developmental guy.
If one of the top two guys seemed likely to succeed in any NFL offense it would be worth considering but I wouldn't say Young or Stroud are more likely than not to be really good (or durable) even in an ideal system. Ryans is inexperienced even as a coordinator but can win games with Mills and a good defense IMO. Seems like the quickest and most likely path to watchable football, the playoffs and job security.
edit: Throw Jimmy G and some O-line picks in there and I think he's got a good setup.
