    Bill O’Brien climbed the 9-7 ladder his first three years on the job. 9-7 No. 1 finished outside the playoffs. 9-7 No. 2 qualified but didn’t get a win. 9-7 No. 3 beat the injured Raiders in the Wild Card round before hanging with the Patriots in the Divisional. This all happened with seven different starting quarterbacks. For 2017, O’Brien got his eighth and best signal caller. Deshaun Watson took the league by storm, appearing to be O’Brien’s missing piece. After he was lost for the season with a Week 9 practice injury, the Texans won only one more game. It was an overdue wake-up call for a team seemingly always on the brink of disaster. To an unusual degree, O’Brien’s (moderate) success has depended on a soft division. That’s not a sustainable formula. The Colts and Titans are under new management. The Jaguars are a quarterback away from being one of the three-best teams in football. O’Brien’s defense, which has mostly carried his offense, has been weakened by injury and free agency. It’s paramount that O’Brien do a better job on his side of the ball. Watson could be the 2018 ticket. If not, O’Brien’s volatile tenure might end with a winter 2019 pink slip.

    I just can't hear more press conferences of BOB saying "I gotta get better, I gotta coach them up better, us not being prepared is on me" ... Bob McNair, BOB is constantly telling you he is bad at his job.

    Can't fire him. Just signed extension. Why would McNair want to pay for 2 head coaches

    ******* tighter than an eagle scouts knot.

    Also he consistently concedes at least half a game away.

    Heh, firing Bob because the inmates on the chain gang dont dig fast enough?

    That would be unjust. A man has rights. Put the troublemakers in the Hole and see if they change their tune.

    I just voted 'yes'.

    I'm disgusted with his decision-making, his offense strategy, and how he runs this team.
