    Plus he can't trade his star players. That's huge.

    BOB is not a terrible football coach. Underwhelming sure, but not even close to terrible, good at times.

    He was an absolute joke as a GM, legit maybe the worst GM in footballs modern era. It was painfully clear that Tommy Boy was completely overmatched as an owner when he made the call to let BOB be god. He has no clue how to make owner decisions, his only notable quality in life is being Bobs son.

    Hopefully we luck out and Caserio is good.

    No.

    Bill OBrien is a terrible football coach. His decisions didnt lead to wins. The team won IN SPITE of him. He took over a playoff team and destroyed it. He even lost Bama the championship with his abhorrent play calling in the final minutes.

    Why? I dont understand WHY anyone needs to look for silver linings with him he sucks. His attitude sucks and he's just not a person who should be in charge of anything on a football team that could result in wins and losses. At best a position coach.

    People misunderstand terrible and average all the time, just because somebody isn't good doesn't mean they are terrible. He actually has a winning record as an NFL coach. Contrary to what people seem to think, you don't win games in the NFL with a terrible head coach, this isn't baseball.

    The Texans were consistently an average and competitive team under BOB, until they ran out of talent because he's such a dog s**t GM.

    Between the awful draft picks, mind blowing poor trades and laughable overpaid contract signings BOB has to be at least top 5 all time worse GMs.

    “Bad GM, good coach.” … No.

    Terrible coach
    Even worse GM
    Thank his lucky stars for Tom Brady/Bill Belichick
    Alabama? Pffftt…
    (OCs) Major Applewhite-Jim McElwain-Doug Nussmeier-Lane Kiffin/Steve Sarkisian(bowl)-Brian Daboll/Mike Locksley-Mike Locksley/Josh Gattis-Steve Sarkisian-Bill O’Brien

    What was he good at? What was he good at on game day?
    Terrible offense
    Bad play calling
    Bad clock/time management
    Bad challenges
    Bad talent evaluator
    Bad talent developer

    Offensive ranks (despite being an “offensive genius”/offensive coordinator)
    YEAR | PTS | YDS
    2014 | 14 | 17
    2015 | 21 | 19
    2016 | 28 | 29
    2017 | 17 | 20
    2018 | 11 | 15
    2019 | 14 | 13
    2020 | 18 | 13 (fired after 4 games)

    Defensive ranks
    YEAR | PTS | YDS
    2014 | 7 | 16
    2015 | 7 | 3
    2016 | 11 | 1
    2017 | 32 | 20
    2018 | 4 | 12
    2019 | 19 | 28
    2020 | 27 | 30 (fired after 4 games)

    “Well his team never quit on him until the end.” … :rolleyes:

    “I just felt like we didn't have a great play there for the fourth down at that point in time.”



    Also “not awful” coaches…
    Mike McCarthy (143-92/.608)
    Mike Sherman (57-39/.594)
    Wade Phillips (82-64/.562)
    Jason Garrett (85-67/.559)

    Texans had a A LOT of Talent in a soft division. The talent was so good they won despite BOB f*cking everything up most of the time. It's semantics to say he wasn't terrible. BOB was very very very bad if that makes it better.

    been saying this for years. BoB was an awful HC and an even shitter GM.

    We had folks sucking him off and praising him just for getting us to playoffs.

    I always said BoB was just the AFC version of Jason Garret

    O’B was bad a coach when it mattered the most—the PLAYOFFS. When we played any competent team, we got our asses handed to us.

    It was perfect in line with how ****ing stupid Cal McNair was to continue the Houston football tradition - "getting our hopes up and get the rug swept from underneath us" and losing when we needed to win the most.

    What was the record of the Texans when O'Brien took over?

    He's an avg football coach. Too Conservative.

    Not an ideal personality for a HC either. Seemed egotistical to me.
