So yes the situation is obviously much better even though Cal remains. They should be able to hire an actual head coach. I’m not calling it some fantastic situation.

Not that I'm saying Culley was actually a genius coach, but they fielded one of the worst rosters in the league and even despite four wins felt like they overachieved. Also, you don't think other coaching candidates are going to see the Culley situation, that he was essentially set up to fail, and either a) look to avoid it; or b) try and get the same deal Culley got ($22 million for one year)? I know if I was some coordinator the thought of $22 million for one year is far more appealing than trying to actually turn the Texans around.
