If only the Texans had listened to the vast majority of this board and the fan base who were advocating for his firing prior to last season.
If it makes Cal feel any better about firing BoB with years left on his contract to pay, Cal can just think that he's firing both his coach and GM.
https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/10/05/nfl-week-4-covid-fmia-peter-king/ Bill O’Brien’s In Trouble. Pretty early to play what-if, but what if the 0-4 Texans (with Green Bay, New England, Indy twice and Tennessee twice still to play) can’t recover, and finish 5-11? That would place Houston somewhere near sixth in the 2021 draft, with maybe the sixth and 38th overall picks in the first two rounds. Problem: They traded both first- and second-round picks in 2021 in the Laremy Tunsil deal 13 months ago. Uh-oh. Not good for O’Brien the GM. Now, give O’Brien credit. In four of his six seasons as head coach, the Texans have won the AFC South. Those who want to minimize winning four division titles since 2014 should realize the Eagles have won four since 2007, and the storied New York Giants have won four division titles in this century. But the Texans haven’t won more than a wild-card game in January, and O’Brien’s trade of DeAndre Hopkins will reverberate, particularly with Hopkins starring so far for Arizona. Owner Cal McNair’s been more hands-off than his father, franchise founder Bob, but Cal McNair could have a decision to make after the season. Two, actually. O’Brien brought in smart and authoritative Jack Easterby to run the front office in April 2019. If O’Brien goes, could Easterby, his hand-picked front-office chief, stay in a revamped organization? I wouldn’t bet against it. __________
I mean, I hope? To me, you fire him now. I honestly don't even know if a truly 0-16 season would get him fired at this point. I guess it would? Anything is on the table w/ this incompetent ownership.
I'm just glad that we're all finally on the same page, BOB must be fired. Some of us were there years ago, but some needed to see the organization completely run into the ground first. Either way, now that the organization has been completely destroyed, it's time to rebuild from scratch.
It will take the organization 3 years to recover from all of this BoB ****. Watson will be hobbling on one leg by the team we have a team.
They should’ve never been the gm in the first place. I thought it was a bad idea from the start. I don’t care how good tunsil is, no LT is worth two first round picks. I’m not even mad that they traded Hopkins, I’m mad at how little they got for him. They should’ve gotten at least a first and second round pick. Also, is Jim Harbaugh available?
BOB got rid of Andre Johnson and Deandre Hopkins, he completely flushed JJ Watt's prime down the toilet, and he may have permanently ruined Deshaun Watson. That's a seriously impressive resume of franchise destruction. Amazing.
We are not the '92 Charges. Fire this dumb motherflucker right now. He is a low viscosity piece of **** as a head coach. Just awful
Actually they shouldn't have been able to but for a clause they built into his contract, something the league has now restricted. Texans should have challenged it and likely would have won but for Easterby/BoB being complete dumbasses and the Pats filing tampering charges on us.
That they made Tim Kelly the offensive coordinator tells you basically everything you need to know about the Texans organization. Out of all the possibilities that were out there, they hired that guy. Look at his credentials and then ask yourself how, or why, a guy with that background was made offensive coordinator. One word: Loyalty. He was with O’Brien as far back as Penn State. Bill has an absolute stranglehold on the Texans, and ownership hasn’t just allowed it, they have encouraged it. This team has absolutely no chance until there is a complete organizational culture change from top to bottom. That starts with the damn owner of the team.
