New personnel members making changes isn’t overly surprising, but the firing of the equipment staff is rubbing many in the Texans organization the wrong way. Sources confirmed to KPRC that a number of players are not happy with the recent move of firing longtime equipment manager Mike Parson and his staff. It’s an example of a troubling trend that’s emerged within the walls of a seemingly dysfunctional franchise; letting go of quality employees who don’t fit Jack Easterby’s “cultural vision.”The Texans fired VP of Communications Amy Palcic after reportedly telling her she didn’t fit their culture. If the Texans continue the current trend, there surely will be other quality players and employees they cut ties with; we just know it won’t be Jack Easterby, who Cal McNair has made clear will stay. JJ Watt took to Twitter to voice his support of Parson and his staff.

HOUSTON – The Houston Texans are in the midst of controversy over the current hiring process and other issues that have quarterback Deshaun Watson unhappy with the organization. Texans legendary receiver Andre Johnson has strong connections to the current Texans roster. Tuesday, Johnson broke his silence and sent a tweet saying that Watson should stand his ground.

On Friday, Texans fans heard from newly-appointed general manager Nick Caserio for the first time. CEO Cal McNair, who rarely talks to the media, joined Caserio as both took questions. “I think the most important thing for us is just to speak specifically to Deshaun,” said Caserio. “And those areas would be things that Nick (Caserio) will need as he moves into his role as GM. Again, Cal (McNair) has brought me to the Texans to handle the football aspect, and that’s my main responsibility.

It started out in such typical fashion, as I listened to Bill O’Brien utter those words at his morning-after press conference at NRG Stadium. Just weeks after that disastrous loss in Kansas City, Cal McNair handed the keys to franchise to Bill O’Brien as he was officially promoted to general manager. The questions on Jack Easterby started heating up, as every word Bill O’Brien said during those virtual meetings was dissected. As much as Astros fans rolled their eyes at his actions, many MLB players and fans openly rejoiced, looking at it as revenge.

In Week 10, the Texans are in an odd spot. This past week, the Texans unexpectedly fired VP of Communications, Amy Palcic. That may not seem like it has to do anything with football, but it was another indication of the Texans being in bad shape behind the scenes. With how this season has gone, a win in Cleveland would be more than valuable. It’s going to be a challenge for our defense, but a challenge obviously that we’ll accept.”This Browns team can run the ball, and the Texans rank 32nd in rushing defense; a stat that is unsettling heading into Sunday.

For the first time in a while, Houston Texans executive vice president Jack Easterby and head coach Bill OBrien shared their thoughts on the upcoming season. No update on Deshaun Watsons contractThe news of Chiefs Quarterback Patrick Mahomes blockbuster half-billion-dollar deal made a lot of fans wonder what that meant for Watsons contract situation. Weve studied from other organizations. Weve studied other sports. Hes excited about the season and hes excited about our offense.

HOUSTON The Houston Texans have made major changes to its team facilities in order to align with protocols from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as state, local, NFL and NFLPA guidelines on operating during COVID-19. In preparation for players arrival to training camp, Texans Chairman and CEO Cal McNair invested in a number of changes this offseason, allowing for more social distancing and the proper cleaning protocols necessary for players, coaches and staff to safely do their jobs amidst COVID-19. Head Coach and General Manager Bill OBrien and Executive Vice President of Football Operations Jack Easterby handled the project planning with the help of department heads from the teams football operations and team logistics, strength and conditioning, security and player logistics, equipment services, video operations, sports medicine, sports science and performance nutrition staffs. This has been a massive undertaking to make sure, first and foremost, that the health and safety of everyone who steps foot in our building is prioritized at all times, OBrien said. Some of the changes include:

Monday, Texans CEO and Chairman Cal McNair announced Bill O’Brien is officially General Manager of the Texans. The Texans were without a GM last season, so O’Brien was making the team-related decisions that most GMs would make. When the Texans fired GM Brian Gaine in June, they wanted to hire Patriots VP of Player Personnel Nick Caserio. According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Focus, the Texans interviewed “a pair of minority candidates for the G.M. Even though he was doing the role of GM before, he now has the official title to match.
