Well ESPNNEWS just confirmed that Jimmy Johnson was offered the Texans job but he turned it down. Jimmy Johnson released a statement saying he was thankful to get the job offer but that he is happy being on FOX. So what now for our head coaching search ? I got a feeling it will be Dan Reeves. His health is much better than what it use to be. Dan Reeves has even said many times in the past few months he would like to coach again.

Jimmy Johnson turned down both jobs. I just heard it again on ESPNNEWS> So wow, Bob Mcnair offered him the coach and GM job but he refused. So what now ? Dan Reeves head coach and Ron Hill as GM I am guessing.

I think it was one of those deals where McNair was like: hey, you interested? And Jimmy saying no thanks. I think the Kubiaks would be a nice pickup now with Reeves at the helm.

I am a little disappointed he turned us down. My 2nd preference would be to lure a younger college coach .. perhaps a Bob Stoopes from OU. I sort of like going after young blood. Sort of like Dolphins did with Nick Saban. Although, it will probably be Dan Reeves as our next head coach. I am still not sold on Dan Reeves being a GM. He is a football coach first and foremost.

So the reports he did were wrong. Bob Mcnair also said he knows Jimmy is happy working for FOX. I think you are right SuperS. Bob Mcnair probably just asked if he was interested and Jimmy said no. All the reports I saw today on ESPNNEWS and ESPN said Jimmy Johnson turned down both jobs though. But I have to trust Bob Mcnair if he said so. ESPNNNEWS usually fabricates stories to make them sound more interesting.
