Is O’Brien hate justified?

I’ve noticed a lot of people repulsed by the idea of Bill O’Brien being a candidate for head coach. I’ve heard some say he’d be a downgrade from Coach O... are these just salty Houston fans who can’t admit he’s a decent football coach? Or what? What are the major concerns about him giving his track record as head coach (not GM)?

BoB burnt his relationship with Hopkins by comparing him to Aaron Hernandez because he felt Hopkins had too many “baby mamas.”

BoB is just a massive c u n t, and not in the way that gets the best out of his players and wins titles.

The feeling is he cant recruit south Texas well after how bad his name is out there

Doesn’t seem relevant to this coaching search. Just to this board for 1.5 days.

He was successful at Penn State. People see his tenure with the Texans and freak out despite the fact that many great college coaches were bad in the NFL.

ETA: His tenure with the texans wasn't even that bad. He has a better record in the NFL than Saban.

His Alabama offense gained 6 yards rushing against a depleted LSU defense.

That alone should disqualify him.

He kept Penn State alive in the aftermath of the Sandusky/Paterno scandal. I'd bet that's the only reason he's being considered.

Yes. It’s justified.

In addition to the many negatives to justify the hate, there really aren’t many positives to point to at all as a reason to hire him. I really don’t get why his name is even mentioned.

Bama fans would happily pay BOB’s LSU salary

That should tell you all you need to know about BOB

And if he was the hire, we may as well just stop recruiting the state of Texas, because it would be a complete waste of time

His offensive play calling has been historically bad and he struggled to evaluate talent. He had one of the best D Coordinators ever carry his arse to multiple playoffs.

To get the media clowns looking in a different direction
Seems plausible to me.

He sucks and seems to be a very thin skinned a-hole
