    On Rotoworld:

    According to the Houston Chronicle's John McClain, the Texans are "closing in" on tabbing Penn State's Bill O'Brien as their next head coach.

    Luring O'Brien away from Happy Valley would go against Texans owner Bob McNair's stated desire for a coach with NFL head-coaching experience, but would make a splash nonetheless. O'Brien spent time working as an assistant under Bill Belichick and earned major notice among NFL brass for the way he rebuilt Penn State's football program following the Joe Paterno/Jerry Sandusky disaster. 44 years old, O'Brien is an offensive mind.

    before everyone gets all exited to be the one that breaks the news, check your source before posting twitter links.. if an account doesnt have thousands of followers its probably bs. if it only has 44 followers do not post it.

    Everybody should just wait on J.R. to post it from 7-8 sources. It will happen in rapid succession.
