Bill O’Brien...

-traded DeAndre Hopkins for a second-rounder
-traded a second-rounder for Brandin Cooks
-gave Hopkins’s money to Randall Cobb
-traded away Houston’s two first-rounders
-signed Tunsil to a precedent-altering contract

Ridiculous.

You shouldn’t need a coup to fire BOB

BOB was a total a-hole and cussed people out whe he fired them. He was known for arguing with staffers, players, and FO employees. For someone who got rid of his best player because of ‘culture’, he sure didn’t lead a good one. That being said, I have heard that BOB was a personable and decent guy outside of football.

I think he had just worn out his welcome and was a shitty GM. Once you start losing, being a shitty boss can turn on you really fast.

IDK.NBA is a different animal and their superstars are now running AND running it into the ground IMO.Lebron is now bigger than any
owner and the commissioner and it hasn't been good for the league.

Felt for him a few years back when they showed his family on Hard Knocks (highly special needs son)

However if he was as big of a POS professionally like the rumors are saying unless he was going to Super Bowls and AFCCGs consistently then he was never going to last

He was constantly frustrated and agitated in the local media
I really don’t remember any situations where he was on the local news enjoying himself in his job

See Magic.

They need to hire a good coach like the rams did. They were stuck in mediocrity with their coach too.

Laughable to call JJ a star in today’s NFL.

If it was Watson then I’d agree.

Laughable to call Watson a star. He's an average qb who has regressed. Coulda woulda shoulda.. O'B firing will only give people more excuses for him. He's a shorter VY.

Ridiculous.

-convinced fans & Rick Smith that Brock Osweiler was the man and gave him 4years 72 million.
-After Rick Smith was able to dump Brock to Cleveland, Rick drafted Watson.
-BoB convinced McNair to "have Rick Smith retire" (scapegoat) because the team didn't perform well after Watson injury.
-BoB got Brian Gaines (BoB guy) as GM and thus fired in a year.
-BoB moves to GM role (coup) and proceeded to trade away Clowney for Mingo and Martin.

Does Bill O’Brien ever become a thing if not for that video of him and Brady arguing on the sideline? It’s like he got the penn state gig based off the hype from that situation.
