They could have resurrected the Oilers. That was a good name with a cool logo - though maybe the Houston Frackers would be more accurate.

No they couldn’t. Bud Adams owned the name, colors, and logos for the Oilers and he wasn’t about to give them back to Houston, especially after the way he left the city. The Titans even retain all of the Oilers team records and heritage.

The Texans was the worst of the names they were debating for the team. IIRC, they had narrowed it down to a handful of names and that was one of them. Terrible choice.
