Who Owns Your Heart? I Mean, the Houston Texans
So, you wanna know who's the big cheese behind the Houston Texans, huh? Let's dive into this gridiron ownership saga, shall we?
The McNair Dynasty: A Footballing Family Tree
If you're thinking the Texans have always been around, think again. They’re actually football newbies compared to some teams. But their owner lineage is a story worth telling.
The original boss man was Bob McNair, a guy who clearly loved football more than his own sanity. He was the one who brought the Texans into existence, kind of like a football-obsessed stork. But sadly, Bob hung up his owner cleats a few years back.
Fear not, Texans fans, the McNair legacy lives on. Bob's wife, Janice McNair, took the reins for a while. Imagine going from cheering from the sidelines to calling the plays in the owner's box. Talk about a career change!
And now, the torch has been passed to the next generation. Cal McNair, Bob's son, is the current owner. So, there you have it – the Texans are a family affair, much like your Sunday dinner, but with way more money and less gravy.
So, Who's Really in Charge?
While Cal McNair is the official owner, let's be real, running a football team is like herding cats. There's a whole army of people involved, from coaches to general managers to that guy who brings out the Gatorade cooler. So, while Cal calls the shots, he's got a pretty big team helping him make those calls.
