    Shows something when Watson has a better eye for potential front offices moves than our moronic GM does.

    The fire O’Brien comment is starting to sound more and more like Harden dribbles too much

    He inherited a good OL and dismantled it. Could only make the OL somewhat acceptable by trading away the future.

    He won thanks to defense and week divisional opponents. The offense is always mediocre.

    What is he good at? Not coaching and GMing. Not being an OC.

    Our defense which has been carrying the team for quite some time over the seasons, has slowly degraded and aged over the watchful eye of BoB.

    Good at winning the division, on pace again against a tough schedule

    On your earlier offense complaint, never figured you for an armchair Madden Football coach

    Is this really all that matters 2 u as a fan? winning the division? cause 3 titles of afc south means very little in the scope of things. Ex: Colts didn't win it last season, yet they went further in playoffs.

    Every team that doesn't make the Super Bowl should fire their coach every year.

    O'Brien is in year three with a franchise qb and they are improving.

    Dude stop giving so much execuses for this coach. How are we improving from last year? our defense gotten weaker, our oline is a progress in work, our offense is still inconsistent. but ya we r improving.

    Out of the longest tenure coaches, i'm pretty sure him and Garrett r the only one that hasn't even reached a conference championship game much less superbowl.

    Honestly texas football team, has a tendency to hold on to their head coach for so long when they haven't achieve squat beside winning division titles.

    Why do i have to excuse winning? Cause you think he's arrogant in a press conference?
    Dude is in his sixth year. All those coaches have been to championship games in six years? I know i don't have to fact check that

    Ben Jones and Brooks left via fg and Texans front office had no intention or the capacity to pay them. Brown was traded bc of his clash with the owner. Myers retired after being cut by Texans. How exactly did O'Brian dismantle the oline?

    This is a talented oline, but they haven't done it on the field yet and whether thats because of coaching or bad offensive design I have no clue.

    Tunsil - trade was a former 1st round pick
    Sharping- 3rd round pick
    Martin- 2nd round pick
    Zach Fulton -UFA - 6TH round pick by Chiefs
    Howard- 1st round pick

    The issues of plays which Watson either holds onto the ball too long or are too slow in developing are one of the biggest beefs I have with the offense.

    I see it game after game they have 2 eligible receivers on top of each other when a pass is thrown and that shouldn't ever happen.


    The issue I have is of ownership giving a .500 coach total control when he doesn't deserve it.

    yea most of the longest tenure coach have been to conference championship in less than 6 years w/ a team they been on, if u done research instead of coming off like an ass u would know that also.

    I also never said all, i said
    "Out of the longest tenure coaches, i'm pretty sure him and Garrett r the only one that hasn't even reached a conference championship game much less superbowl."

    Hell i even said:

    Current coaches that made it to the conference championship in 5 years of less (doesnt even take six years)
    Rivera
    Harbaugh
    Tomlin
    Reid
    Carroll
    Belichick
    Payton
    Zimmer

    Coaches that hasnt in their career
    Garett and BoB


    In conclusion either read the entire post or do research b4 coming off like an ass.

    Mr. I dont even need to do research to invalidate someones else post.

    O'Brien ran then off. He was coach here and wanted his own OL picks for his scheme. And almost every ol he's brought in has been terrible

    Tough schedule again? It doesn't bother you that OBrien has never built a good offense?

    Yea bury your head in the sand, instead of responding.

    Typical BoB defenders.

    I think OBrien defenders aren't really pro O'Brien (there's nothing positive to point to, so they've just become anti-anti-obrien

    Did you see my post about the five games before Watson got hurt.

    33, 57, 33, 34, 38 points. You're right about the oline being decimated but your misguided hate leads to wrongly blame O'Brien. The oline is coming together and with a healthy Fuller thats what is possible and has been proven

    That's not a lot of coaches. You were wrong. I dont argue with mistakes, just point out the mistake

    10 coaches that have been with an nfl team for 6 years or more(including BoB). 8 of them have been to conferences championship or further to either winning superbowl or coached in one

    Of course theres not alot of coach that have been with a team six year or more cause they been fired for taking too long to improve.

    Hell head coaches with less years than BoB on a team made it further than "our winning coach" (pederson, mcvay, and quinn).

    Where was i wrong? U dont respond bc i called u out correctly for making stupid ass assumptions
