Houston Texans

Con - After the first season, the fans rapidly dwindled unless they played "a name" or were winning

Pro - Red McCombs bought the Vikings with the idea of moving them to SA

Con - the Vikings are still in Minnesota

Pro - there are a few people in SA that could be an owner

Con - almost all are too old and/or don't like football

UTSA is hardly a draw. Seeing Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers or any NFL team coming to town every Sunday? I promise they will sell that stadium out. We aren't talking about Corpus here guys.

They would need a complete teardown of the Alamodome and start over if they wanted to be even close to NFL-caliber amenities. Or, they could just build a new stadium somewhere on the NE side to appeal to Austin people who don't want to drive 90 minutes to get to a game. Either way, that's a $1B proposition.
 
Horns looking up with Sark and a stellar coaching staff, but cosmic karma must be balanced, so Texans front office looking pretty inept right now. The wife and I have been binge watching Ballers on HBO so we’re all armchair GMs...
 
Texans went after the wrong assistant
Could have still checked the box they wanted and had a chance against KC in the future - Todd Bowles
 
If my hometown of SA got an NFL team, I would root for them! The Texans have been a joke for a long time. A few years ago they looked serious, now they're down Hopkins, Watt, and about to be down Watson. That's a rap folks. Hello 1-15 maybe 3-13.
 
AC,

I have been in Houston almost all my adult life. The Houston NFL Wannabes are and have been an embarrassment since before they played their first game.

Some friends put together our old group to get a luxury box, and as a former member of the Bay Area Athletic Club (Sky Box 650 in the Dome), I said sure. McNair hired Charlie Disasterly, and I told them to hold my check. That guy could **** up a train wreck. Then they hired the HC, who hired the worst OC in the history of football. I said, "find someone else to buy me out".

Instead of trading away their #1 the first year to get multiple draft picks, they drafted easily the least intelligent QB in NFL history. Roll along a few years, and once again they have the #1 pick. Needing everything, they could trade the #1 for multiple picks, but they pick a guy who wasn't even the best DL on his college team - he didn't take plays off, he took quarters & games off. Worthless as tits on a boar hog.

Yes, they are in my hometown. No, they are not "Texans", and never will be. They are a collection of (to quote my dad) "damn foreigners" being overpaid and not earning their keep. I don't watch them on TV, and have been to only ONE game, when VY beat them on a QB draw in OT. A group of us sang "The Eyes of Texas" with VY before he left the field.

Never liked them naming team Texans from the get go even though I am a true blue obnoxious Texan. Just never set well for me referring to them that way never suited me.
JJ being the true exception I doubt any others have any transplanted ‘Texas’ loyalties. Stupid name for a football team, imo. Might as well take Redskins,,,,,,jk here.
 
Maybe they'll sell the team. The McNair's. Until that happens, the Houston Texans are ******.
