Report: Jack Easterby’s role with Texans to be determined under new general manager
Although Jack Easterby may be the interim general manager, the Houston Texans are serious in their intent to find a genuine football guy to run their front office.
According to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network, the Texans have been conducting their general manager searches, and Easterby, who is also the executive director of football operations, has not even been on some of the Zoom calls.
Garafolo also says that Easterby’s role in the organization under a new general manager has yet to be determined, which is entirely understandable given he is a holdover from the Bill O’Brien era in Houston.
Adding to this: As word spreads to GM candidates Easterby isn’t as in control in the #Texans’ organization as it might have seemed, that job has become more attractive to those with no ties to him. There was a fear they’d be taking a job with limited control. Not so, perhaps.

Texans chairman and CEO Cal McNair told Texans Radio Network play-by-play voice Marc Vandermeer that Easterby’s role will revert back to what it was in football operations once they hire a new coach and general manager.
The Texans’ season ends after their Week 17 rematch with the Tennessee Titans Sunday at 3:25 p.m. CT at NRG Stadium.
