I can neither confirm nor deny the report. An official announcement will be made (today).

From this day forward, the Houston 1836 logo will be a symbol of a hardworking team. This is a team for Houston. If you live in Houston, you must like it here. If you like Houston, come out and support another Houston franchise.

Plenty of folks don't like the name because it's not to American tastes. It's not a name like the Bears or the Bulls and it's absolutely fine not to like it.

And at the end of the day, one of the major players of that is the coach. It became pretty clear to me he was the best guy to keep on the job.

What we wanted to do was make sure our team represented all Houstonians. To us, the founding year symbolizes that we want to put deep roots in our city.

I long for the day when advertising will become a business for a grown man.
