There is.
The fans have to respond accordingly. Unfortunately, most fans are dumb.
If I were a Texans fan, I’d be boycotting until at least Easterby’s gone. [Reply]

But yeah, it sounds like that type of protest is already in the works.
I honestly think the Texans have no choice but to hire Bieniemy.
The longer this goes without hearing anybody else connected to them, and the worse things get in the media and with the fans, the more likely it is that they will cave to their fans and franchise QB’s demands. [Reply]

That's just going to prolong it. They really need to fire Easterby but for some reason Call won't do it. [Reply]

Well we did that. There was an organization called SOC (Save Our Chiefs) when the Pioli fiasco was spiraling out of control back then.
We flew banners on planes. We wore black for blacking out Arrowhead. We stopped going to games. [Reply]

There is nothing fans can do. Skins fans and knicks fans have tried for 2 decades. McNair will throw Easterby under the bus and then another guy then another guy. McNair will never lose money off of this. He just makes less when they lose. [Reply]

That was a general manager. For an owner who is very good at his job. [Reply]

Lol wut?
There absolutely is. If fans stopped going to games and supporting the team entirely, their voices would be heard.
Like I said, unfortunately most fans are dumb or don’t care enough. [Reply]

This is true, but the above still can be applied, because the owner will lose money if fans don't come to games, especially now in a pandemic.
I'm sure that Hunt's bottom line numbers took a hit one way or another in that year. And for a owner who is really smart, and did what he needed to do after the fact (meeting with Andy and honoring Andy's wishes that working with Pioli wasn't going to work). That has to be acknowledged, because Hunt could have simply ignored us and continue to push on with the Pioli bullshit narrative.
It just comes down to how the owner is perceived. Like the Bengals owner, he's a cheapskate bastard. Same applies to Bidwell at the time. [Reply]
