Value of Things: Life on the hot seat

Writing for Battle Red Blog, Scott Barzilla evaluates the job security of key Houston Texans leadership figures following the team's historic 0-4 start. The writer assesses general manager Nick Caserio, head coach DeMeco Ryans, and offensive coordinator Nick Caley to determine who should face accountability for the franchise's winless opening stretch.

Barzilla concludes that Caley's seat is scalding hot, arguing that the offensive coordinator is overmatched and not the right fit for the role. Meanwhile, the writer places Caserio on a warm seat due to flawed coaching and roster decisions, but rates Ryans' seat as cold, advocating that the head coach be retained while having new offensive staff brought in around him.
