- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- Texans coaching news is starting to heat up as Nick Caserio & DeMeco Ryans are planned to meet with 3 more coaches to interview for the Texans offensive coordinator position. Bill Lazor was a senior assistant coach for the Texans this season and was the 2nd person on staff, the other being Jerrod Johnson, to get an interview. The Texans also announced interviews for Washington Commanders QB coach Brian Johnson & Minnesota Vikings assistant QB coach Grant Udinski. Chat Sports host Jeremy Chuggs breaks down why all 3 of the Texans offensive coordinator candidates would be a huge risk for the Texans this season.

Commanders Report host Jack Sperry on coach Brian Johnson:
“Brian Johnson comes from the Urban Meyer tree of the college spread offenses under Dan Mullen both at Mississippi State and Florida before taking the QB Coach job with the Eagles. When he was promoted to OC, he ran a very simplistic, ‘college-esque’ spread system with lots of screens, simple spread route concepts from shotgun, and not a lot of pre-snap motion. This year, he’s been learning under Kliff Kingsbury, who did a great job modernizing the Air Raid style of offense to the NFL with multiple RB sets, pre-snap motion, and full field progression reads to better suit that kind of system to the NFL game.”
Albert Breer on Grant Udinski:
“The first thing you may notice about Udinski is his title, which is unique. He started his coaching career under Matt Rhule, who hired him at Baylor and took him to the Carolina Panthers. On the advice of veteran assistant Brian Angelichio, Kevin O’Connell poached him in 2022.
From there, Udinki went from assistant to the head coach/special projects to assistant quarterbacks coach to his current title. And each little step was taken in an effort by O’Connell to keep Udinski on the staff as long as he could...even if that meant having to work around already having a very solid offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach on the payroll. The head coach did it because the reality was Udinski had become his right-hand man, and enough folks around the NFL had come to know his value to a surging Vikings program.

To be creative and make use of all players and positions. Call plays to the strength of your Offense.
e.g. Schultz was so massive in CJs first season. This past season he was rarely used....
Ability to adapt to defenses and the ability to speak that language to our QB. Someone who can teach Stroud to read coverages and defenses and make small route adjustments and not try to force a play where the defense has you beat before the snap.
Not run the ball every time on obvious run downs. They are always 1 yard runs.
Need an OC that can make CJ move more with his feet and make some clean quick passes
What I’m looking for in a new OC is one that doesn’t run the ball on obvious run downs. It’s alway a 1 yard run.
That would be great lol
Slowbum calling plays !!!!!! 🤡 Run, run, pass!!!!!!
@@rickyeager5762 right
We need more creative screens. Quicker timing routes I mean how many quick slants, square ins, crossing routes did we run?? Also get the RBs involved more in the pass game
Yes CJ needs to run more
I want to see an OC give CJ more freedom at the line of scrimmage and get the plays out faster so proper adjust can be made for blocking. Fixing the Oline is also a must but that will probably be addressed by the Oline coach. I also want to see what Nick Casserio does in the draft and free agencies. We need interior line men, WRs, TE and RB depth.
People are sleeping on Jerrod Johnson… dude coaches cj. He knows what type of plays cj needs
Don't hate the move, rather him than Bill Lazor
Exactly. I’m bigg on JJ
Yet, the offense he using if same as Slowik will struggle. Every team that uses Kubiak, Shanahan offense has struggled this season including 49ers - Kyle Shanahan himself.
@@texasmade2719 key word, If
@@JCox964 Well, what offense does he bring to implement that is different from what Texans have used? If he gonna run same offense then we can't expect same outcome from last year. Either it be best a 10-7 season or a Vikings season lose in first round of playoffs.
I need an OC who plays to win not play to not lose
Gotta risk it for the biscuit!
I want a guy that can call a running play and that can call it at the right times. I want a guy that can scheme block the blitz. And most importantly can make in game adjustments and halftime adjustments!!!!
Definitely agree i hope so as well i was saying the same shit
Texans Re-Signing Stefon Diggs? Top Free Agents Ft. Mario Edwards Jr., Derek Barnett & Jon Weeks - ua-cam.com/video/oaY2kai8AXQ/v-deo.html
If I had to choose 1 thing I want in a new OC. It would be to get the damn plays in sooner. The offense breaking the huddle with 5 seconds left on the play clock was a recipe for disaster in 2024
That killed us at the end of that Chiefs game

Houston Texans Hiring Nick Caley Because His Connections With Nick Caserio? - ua-cam.com/video/iyZBJz0IOEw/v-deo.html
Does C.J. Stroud need to run the ball more next season? Yes or No
I think so.
Yes. Exploit the QB protection rule like Mahomes does. Let them come close, then drop like a dead stone to get a personal foul called against Defender for 15 yards and a 1st Down
A little bit
YES
So long as it’s not a lot of design runs I think yes. Having him be able to quickly asses when there is nothing, and a run could get us either a 1st down or close would be great.

Someone who can make mid game adjustments.
Very important
Must have a run game mentality and the ability to make the system around the players. And for CHRIST SAKE.....SOMEBODY TO FIX THE O-LINE. A run blocking monster would work.
🤔🤔🤔 🤔🤔 Honestly, I'd rather have Chip Kelly or Jeff Nixon but not Nick Caley. Nick Caley would probably run something very similar to Sean McVey, which is still too close to the Shanahan system. The issue is a lot of defensive coordinators have started to figure out the Shanahan system. Had this been 5 to 10 years ago, I'd be fine with a Nick Caley, because the Shanahan system was still very effective. Plus, Jeff Nixon runs some kind of spread scheme within his offense, which would possibly help CJ pick up blitzes better and get the ball out faster.
Brian Johnson would be an intriguing option for what you want because he runs a scheme similar to the Eagles and Commanders which spreads the ball out more compared to the Shannahan scheme
Jeff Nixon isn’t the answer imo. I’m a Baylor fan so I’m very familiar with him. And I appreciate what he did with the O in 2019 and I’m sure Syracuse fans appreciate 2024. The competition for both those years was not remotely close to what he faced when interim at Carolina and what he’d face in 2025. He’s not a pro OC. Rhule let him try after he fired Brady and he wasn’t good enough. This was after he thrived as OC vs a weak b12 in 2019 and bf he thrived vs a weak ACC in 2024. I have a very strong “no” on him bc I just don’t think he’s a guy who can give the Texans an advantage.
And I think it’s a stretch to object to a McVey guy bc that system is close to Shanahan system which DCs have started to figure out. Did u see what LA did with their offense this past yr? Way overachieved - ie not figured out at all. McVey has done more with less than anyone in the league over the last few yrs. They were supposed to be rebuilding yet have not only not been awful, they’ve been very good on offense.
@TexansTV Good point.
@@Tyler_Kent They said the same thing about Kliff Kingsbury, and look at how good Kliff has been with Washington with a rookie QB.
I see no indication that Chip Kelly is interested in leaving Ohio State.
CJ should run but don’t want to see him get injured!
Yeah, that's the tough balance you gotta have. Run the ball but keep CJ safe
Mahomes runs the ball alot and he is fine.

I’m ready to find out who we getting
An absolute yes on CJ running the ball more.. I have wrote it many times!! Who recalls CJ playing Georgia in the Semi Finals before headed to the NFL?
Good question 😅
Always asking the good questions lol
2:25 that right there you just said, i feel like texans & dallas does this WAY too often and it needs to stop with thos whole buddy mentality and start actually looking for people that actually does the job well and not just some guy you know that is from TeXaSS and done this and that for a few years lol it is embarrassing
Yeah, not a huge fan of the buddy buddy hires
The NFL is all buddy or nepotism hires. Literally. The guys are friends or son of a HC or coordinator. It takes someone who is a bit crazy to take it on bc it demands 100 work weeks during the yr and probably avg like 80 hr weeks for the whole calendar yr.
So, you get a small pool of coach family dorks like McVey, Shanahan, shottenheimer, kubiak bros and then HS or college coach sons like Harbaugh bros, Josh McDaniel, siriani - nerd herd, dude.
Dope Hoodie 😎
Yes
If the opportunity presents itself, meaning the coverage dictates a low risk attempt for CJ, go for it!
Agreed, he needs to learn when it's advantageous to run the ball
Main things for an OC: Good Leader, Creative Play Caller, and Good Player Developer.
I would be good with Caley or Nixon. i like Caley a little more for the Patriots experience and the McVay creative factor, but I like the experience of Nixon a little more. So they are almost a tie for me. But would love Udinski on the staff, as the "next in line" guy. And he has ties to Nixon at Baylor and Carolina.
Yes, I’ve been saying he need to run. It will help the receiver get open. I don’t except him to be mobile, but I believe a few times he should have ran to avoid sack. He was sacked 50+ times, but half were on him.
Hell yes he needs to run more
I want nick caley in my opinion
I like him as an option, what do you like about him?
If we can’t get Kelly go get nick caley
Yes CJ needs to run the ball more. I'd also like to see more Bootleg plays!

Notti gang!! Go big 3
Aye!!!
Do most assistants tell their Boss what they should do? Or do they try to show their boss they can do the job their asked as well as possible?
That’s a good point
At this point
One thing I’m looking for is that he exists .
L M A O
Both the Johnson’s will work for me. That QB mobility is a requirement in todays NFL and we need more CJ mobility plays cause that was the one bright side on offense this season was CJ can move
The style of offense is important as well. Can't see the offense be unproductive in passing and pass protection as last season
When do yall think we will find out who we getting
Chuggs: He is TOO YOUNG to be GOOD right out the gate!
1st year Ram Head Coach 30 year old Sean McVay has entered the chat....😁
CJ REALLY NEEDS 2 RUN MORE IT'S A REAL LIVE GAME CHANGER WHERN HE DOE'S PERIOD!!
Which candidate runs Peyton's offense. Allowing CJ total autonomy to change things at the line. A great 2-headed rushing game. Don't you want to hear "Omaha" at NRG?
If you want someone like that the name would be Bruce Arians... only problem is he's "retired"/a consultant for the Bucs
Yes we need an experienced one forget about promoting within get someone new.
I'd go and get shannon dawson from the University of Miami, who helped cam ward put impressive numbers statistically an offensive minded coach that has gone to every program he's been and made them an offensive juggernaut also happens to be a QB coach as well
I want our OC to be able to ADAPT to the game and change the game plan if needed. We need a versitle offense
Yes hell yes he need to run more
First like and comment go texans go!!
Thanks man!!
Grant Udinski hire , might as well keep Slowik. Same offense as Rams OC is using and its Sean McVay offense mixed with Mike Shanahan, Kyle Shanahan and Jon Gruden and Jay Gruden offenses.
They are interviewing a lot because if the one they do hire is very successful, he may be gone quick as a HC. So they need back up interviews. This is the time to get all the info in. So one of these names may be hired the 2nd time around.
I want nick caley as well
NO ONE IN HOUSE
Looking for innovation, creativity, aggression when it applies, and maximizing personnel. Not using Mixon for 3 downs especially in the pass game is criminal. No disrespect to Dare 🤷🏾♂️
If C.j.can add rushing to his resume,then he will be considered a legitimate threat on the field
All season I kept saying to myself. QB needs to run the ball more to give himself that second weapon. However only in situations that he must . Last thing Texans need is QB out for the season ……
I like Brian Johnson resume!
D'Eric King and Kyle Trask out of Manvel High School!
Johnson using Commanders offense is good.
It is easy for us on the sideline to speculate and assume. The cold hard facts are. 1. We can want C.J. to run more all we want but running quarter backs are born, not made. Could you imagine Dan Marino running more, Joe Montana or any of those pocket quarterbacks ?? You just can't expect a yard bird to fly like an eagle. Stick with what he do and can do as well as what HE WANTS TO DO. 2, We can look at these candidates resumes and expectations all we want but if the Texans don't get a quality offensive line we are stuck on stupid.
Great lines make great coaches, not great coaches make great linemen. They have to have that dog in them and muscle. Right now we have busboys.
Be creative we watch the chiefs Andy Reid have these awesome plays quick thinking & really just mixes it up we need somebody that’s gonna use all of our talent
Jerod Johnson
Wouldn't hate it
Ability to make game time adjustments
Still not going to change anything
I’m not thrilled with anyone they have hired so far. I’m very disappointed
Yes ! CJ can avoid a sack and get yardage too running the ball on offense!
I would probably put my money on Nick Caley being the guy they choose
He should run and for me it's a yes the Texans were a little bit more dangerous when he would run
Yes he needs to
Run more
I want a better run scheme
He was and did for his life😂
Bill belichick oc line for my Houston Texans
Yes CJ new run ball more
Didn’t Cole Popovic get fired with Chris Strausser?
Popovich was already fired, he's not getting re hired.
They will be losers as they are now accept it
O-line coach. Seems the Texans have a hard time evaluating offensive line talent or coaching it up
Agreed
Ohhh, Please. NO not an O-Line Coach from a person on staff. We need Fresh Blood. Please NOOO NOOOO.
Don’t promote within……
Cole Poppovich, being the next O-line coach after being an assistant during the last season's, abysmal performance is a complete joke.
We just needs a guy who can run situational offensive. Slowick was way too predictable. Thats the name of the game. If you aren't predicable you can get your players in the right position to get the offense to score. That was our biggest problem. Execution. Points. We always has close games. That BOTHERED TF out of me. Fairbairn was our leading scorer. That says it all
No Kyle Shanahan tree 🌳
Stop emulated the Patriots . We've had enough. Bring in Chip Kelly now and stop dicking around with those guys.
Click bait here
GO HIRE THE O C FROM OHIO STATE
Texans are letting me down all the guys were interviewing suck
Yes
