When the Houston Texans began searching for a new head coach to replace the outgoing Bill O’Brien, reports bubbled up that owner Cal McNair had hired the consulting firm Korn Ferry to help identify the next H-Town head football coach.
Later in the process some reported McNair had assembled a Hall of Fame committee, that wasn’t a committee (or was it?) to give recommendations and advice on just whom to hire. This committee-that-isn’t consists of super bowl winning coaches Jimmy Johnson and Tony Dungy, among others.
Last week, ESPN’s Conor Orr reported Korn Ferry had a candidate:

The Texans gave themselves an incredibly long runway to hire a coach, and all we’ve heard leaked from the process so far is that a search firm is pushing Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer for the role.
