I just don't understand how BOB still has his job. What does it take to lose your job as the head coach of the Texans? I mean, seriously, what did he do to earn this kind of power and loyalty from ownership?
We all clamoring to fire BOB, but sadly guys he's not going anywhere. Such a waste of Watson's talent.
Honestly, haven't watched more than 1 or 2 games except what appears on Redzone for the last 3 years. Fire Bill Obrien. Free Deshaun Watson.
....this team is boardline unwatchable. And yet....I continue to waste the 3hrs on Sundays (unless I shut it off early like yesterday).... The Houston Texas Need to Finally Fire Bill O'Brien https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/the-houston-texas-need-to-finally-fire-bill-obrien/ar-BB19tY9U
Has Bill O'Brien done a single good thing since becoming GM? Watson was a Rick Smith move. Name me one good move O'Brien has done as a gm. I can pinpoint 5 completely awful ones.
Yeesh. And how many years are we into Bill's 5 year plan? (Hint: This is the start of year 7.) This inspired me to do some research on Football Reference over dinner.
Keep Bob, doesn't matter. Ain't winning **** as long as Mahomes/Chiefs are around. To quote Joe Lacob, they are "light years ahead" & it's not even funny. (And I'm not talking light years ahead of just the Texans) What makes Mahomes better than Watson "Go hire Eric Bieniemy." It's not Eric Bieniemy. It's Andy Reid. It's Mahomes. That's like go hire Josh McDaniels/Bill O'Brien because of Brady/Belichick. Eric Bieniemy? On that note, why not Mike Kafka? He's the QB coach/PGC. Eric Bieniemy? He's a career RB coach. Maybe he can help David Johnson get going!
Watching this KC-Baltimore game...and then there's the Patriots and Titans and Colts... We have exactly 0% at winning this year. Maybe BOB feasts on an easy schedule as he likes to do but we'll be set up for another embarrassing playoff loss.
I usually don’t listen to 610 they slurp the Texans 24/7...but even they can’t put lipstick on this pig. (Well maybe Vandemeer and John Harris can). Everybody knows it. The guy can’t coach. The guy can’t be a GM. The offense is old and predictable. The defense is soft and overpaid. And something tells me that he’ll cut David Johnson before the end of the season.
I'll give him two very feeble credits for the sake of discussion... 1) I thought the *idea* (idea does NOT equal execution) of trading Deandre Hopkins was shrewd. Leverage an asset on the + side (rather than waiting to do it on the - side) to free up cash for more important assets (Watson & Tunsil) & replenish depleted draft stock. Belichick never would've found himself down 4 high-end draft picks (BOB's own mistake) - but it's the kind of move he'd make. And I still maintain, if he had landed an OBJ-like return, it would've possibly been worth it. 2) As much as he overpaid for Tunsil, I'll give him credit for at least targeting a young asset. He could've overpaid for Trent Williams. Or thrown a bunch of money at XYZ free agent. If you're going to swing for the fences, at least he gambled on a 25-year old. I think........... that's it? BTW, did you guys see the note (maybe I read it here) that no rookies from this year's draft class played a single snap in Sunday's game? That is brutal. One more thing... Bill O'Brien needs to be fired. Immediately. But I will continue to maintain that there is exactly one great coach in the NFL and then there's a tier of good(-ish) coaches who rise/fall based on many things outside their control (look at the Saints and Michael Thomas; or the Eagles and their OL). Most NFL coaches fall here. And then there's a tier below that of truly mediocre coaches who actively make their teams worse. I think BOB has devolved into that bottom tier. His inability to build a competent, sustainable offense around Watson - while so many other coaches are having success doing exactly that with their QBs - is a stinging indictment. McDermott has turned Josh Allen into an MVP candidate - *that's* the big mark against BOB right now. Buffalo has taken an inferior QB and built an offense around his strengths and they look unbeatable. It's so frustrating.
