Just wanted to start this thread to prove a point. Bill O’Brien has been targeted by Scott. Bill O’Brien will get the Schiano reaction. Our fan base will pressure Woody to not get who he wants. I just hope he doesn’t cave to the idiots like Tennessee did. Good luck boys and sorry about your Texans.

The theme should be “Don’t Settle”

We’ve settled for years. Between Orgeron and the coordinators.

Obviously we want a big name, with success, but who knows who will be available and/or willing.

Jumping at Bill O’Brien, the first name, would be a mistake. IMO

BOB single handed my destroyed the Texans. Stay far far away from him. He’s a human dumpster fire.

Hiring a Saban assistant pretty much guarantees a loss to Bama every time. Right now we beat them every once in a while

I’m obviously opposed to the hire… he’ll never win a conference championship or national title in college as HC, here or anywhere.

But I will say this…if Woodward is seriously looking at him, it means Woodward expects some serious NCAA sanctions and restrictions are incoming for the program. That’s the only reason a major elite school would consider BOB, to be the stop-gap between restrictions and the future.

In other words, if that’s the case and I certainly hope it’s not, we’re going to be at a talent disadvantage for a couple years so find someone that can weather the storm with X’s and O’s until the storm clears and normal operations can resume. That’s kind of depressing to think about, but that’s the only reason LSU would ever consider BOB.

This random advocating for O'Brien is weird and pretty troubling, he'd be an absolutely horrible fit here.

Thinking about another angle on this BOB topic.

Let me preface this by saying the fans (myself included) oftentimes aren’t the best judge of what a program needs. I totally agree with you that fanbases shouldnt dictate or have an influence on hires. Tennessee is a great example… they would have been much better off long-term if the Schiano hire would have happened.

That said, what do you think Alabama fans would say about BOB being the coach-in-waiting for Saban?

That fan base will lock step for anyone who Saban advocates for.

No hire could possibly be worse than Orgeron, based on resume

It's amazing how many people outside of Houston think this guy is some amazing coach. He's a tpos hot head. Very unlikable person.

You know as well as I the Bama fanbase would hate it and melt hard if they announced he was their next HC.

A friend of mine that post here says if they hire O’Brien he is done as a LSU supporter.

hard pass, the BOB vs Fan video

Bill O’Brien’s NSFW Rant at Fan Caught on Video

A video obtained by TMZ Sports has emerged of Texans head football coach spewing expletive-filled insults towards an irate fan back in the tunnel during the game.

The video takes place at halftime in what would eventually be the 14-point loss to the Broncos. Interestingly enough, the shouting match occurred in the Texans home stadium, in a game which the team trailed 31-3 at the end of the second quarter. It’s unknown if this was a Texans or Broncos fan on the receiving end of O’Brien’s anger-filled rant, but there’s an obvious reason to believe the home fanbase wasn’t thrilled at this point.

In the video, Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson can be seen looking back at the fan, while wideout DeAndre Hopkins physically restrains the coach, escorting him into the locker room with the rest of the team.

You just said BoB will never win a championship and then told everyone not to listen to you.

I remember you in the last coaching search. You (and I as well) wanted Jimbo and Herman. Jimbo will never come close to a NC again and Herman will never win one.

Just let the AD do his job dude. He’s the one talking to these coaches. Just let the search happen.

I'd rather O'Brien than ULL's HC

Napier's next stepping stone should be Texas Tech or something like that, not LSU

so many daily clips on the Houston news of local reporters asking softball questions and BOB rolling his eyes and giving sarcastic answers or getting aggravated and treating everyone like he is being put out suffering these fools

Saban has his moments but Saban has the stripes for us to realize he is coaching through the media or he is just wound up too tight. BOB does the same thing and he just comes off as an a-hole without the stripes or the justification

what is crazy is BOB has a special needs child and the media he has done with his family was really good. So is he just playing the tough guy as a coach?

BOB on his family and the Special Olympics

I trust Woodward. He’ll make a good hire

But where’s the fun in just letting it play out? Lol

Coaching searches are meant to be interactive!
