What the matter with you awful fans. You just don't appreciate the patience required to save all 3 timeouts for the last 15 seconds....which are likely passing plays anyway. Utterly mind boggling.
Now what made you think I was talking about you? Loooove this interview. So much attempted ass-covering bullshit from BoB:
Because u actually think I like O'Brien (I don't). I want my team to win. All the b****ing about the coach before **** plays out is unnecessary. All that matters is when Cal McNair gets fed up.
He is a BLOODY MORON - you call a timeout and save those 15-20 seconds - what an idiot, I hate having a Les Miles as our HC. DD
The thing is, this isn't the first, second or probably even the third time BoB has had a huge screw up with timeouts and clock management. They need to hire a time out coach. All he would be responsible for is time outs and clock management. It's really not that complicated. I think almost anyone could do this. Anyone not named Bill O'Brien. Seriously, this is so damn frustrating.
Probably in BoB Defender's mind and the fking HC himself: "we won, who fking cares during the game as long as we pull out a W!" That time management to end the 1st half was god dam awful, he did trigger the "lead by half" criteria to get the w....
I can completely see how he continues to keep his job, sways people. I was screaming along with everyone else after that last first down at the end of the 1st half, with all your time outs left.. USE ONE! Would have had at least one maybe two more plays at the goal line. Then I watch this, and I still consider that an obvious mistake, but am suddenly on his side vs. the reporters. No longer mad at him. /B.oB. defender?
BREAKING NEWS: Spoiler TEXANS TO CREATE NEW COACHING STAFF POSITION: After years of being criticized for his inability to effectively manage timeouts and critical game situations, Bill O'Brien announced late Sunday that he has created a new position on his staff to help improve performance in this area. To no one's surprise, the newly created position, Time Optimization Czar, will be filled by none other than O'Brien himself. "I see this position demanding quite a bit of attention and versatility. Should be a fun position.", stated O'Brien. "Because my time will be even more limited now, due to all of my responsibilities, I wil no longer sleep, and will just take quick cat naps when I can, likely during 2nd and long situations as well as talent evaluation meetings. In other slightly related news, the Texans announced that O'Brien will also be assuming the following titles, effectively immediately: Duke of Kirby Earl of Fannin Baron of Murworth Chairman of the Board - NRG
Oh my god haha How can he defend that lol. I guess in his mind , not calling the timeout helped set up the Kenny stills play . Bob - “hehe they won’t suspect that I try to pass deep after we bungle this timeout situation.”
"We had 2 plays called..." "But couldn't you have called a time ou.." "We had 2 plays called." "But if you had, possibly called a time out..." "The first play took longer than we expected, but we had 2 plays called." "So you were settling for a FG?" etc... etc... I hope everyone actually listens to that ****ing bullshit. He's either a liar or he's incompetent.
Outside of a go ahead drive where DW4 has the ball in his hands, we will be at a disadvantage anytime situational football is involved. - 2 minute drill with all 3 TOs before the half? BoB is gonna keep 2 in his pocket just in case. - 3rd and short to seal a game? Gonna run Lamar up the middle, although it'd probably be Duke now. - Need a defensive stop? Romeo's gonna play his CBs with a 10 yard cushion so QBs just dink and dunk their way in. It'd be one thing if this occurred in just 1-2 games, but year 6 and we are still having the same problems as day 1.
He won't change because he is too stubborn and arrogant. Highly incompetent people with a strong degree of narcissism don't change. They fail repeatedly until they are removed. Friendship or not with Cal McNair, at some point his incompetence will cost the Texans to the extent that Cal removes him. That could be years from now though.
