The Texans’ odd offseason took another odd turn, as the team interviewed quarterback Josh McCown, who was on their active roster at the end of the season.

The Texans today announced McCown’s interview.

McCown coached in high school, but to say he doesn’t have the typical qualifications of an NFL head coach would be a major understatement. He hasn’t even been so much of a quality control coach in the NFL or college football.

If McCown were to be hired, it is believed he would be the first player to transition directly from active player status to NFL head coach since Norm Van Brocklin, who was the Eagles quarterback in 1960 and l head coach of the Vikings in 1961.

The fact that the Texans even consider McCown indicates either that Jack Easterby is making another odd power play at the front office, or that McCown has developed a close bond with quarterback Deshaun Watson, and the Texans believe the hiring of McCown would appease. Watson, who is so unhappy with the team, has fueled widespread speculation that he will hold and demand a trade.

The Texans also announced that they had interviewed Jim Caldwell for their head coach position.
