After Sunday's Texans win and with two more, could Lovie Smith save his job?
Unfortunately, for the Broncos and their fans, there is nothing that the new owners, descendants of the Walton family that founded Walmart, can do to remedy the other massive error made under the Bowlen family — the trade for and subsequent contract extension given to quarterback Russell Wilson. Wilson is barely one season into a five year deal that pays him nearly a quarter of a billion dollars, and he appears to be abjectly washed up.
From around their bye week in Week 6, through about Week 12 and the catastrophic loss to the Dolphins, the Texans were widely expected to be one of those teams moving on from their head coach, and Lovie Smith is still very much in the crosshairs, don't get me wrong.
Now, to be clear, I could care less about a 4-1-1 record in the division, or even actual division crowns quite honestly, but I am not a member of the McNair family nor am I Nick Caserio, the two entities who would decide Lovie's fate. I will remind you the McNair family kept Bill O'Brien around largely based on winning a bunch of AFC South titles against largely rotten competition. In short, things like a 4-1-1 record in the division might seem to matter to them.
