Twitter: Texans fired HC and GM Bill O’Brien

[TheMarathonContinues]

They gave up a lot in the Tunsil deal as well.

Damn....well yeah that might be up there too.

This is a prime example of why I don't do these type of trades. It just isn't worth it you are truly never a player away in the NFL. No matter how many teams convince themselves of it....its never true.

It's way overdue:

In an interview that aired before Sunday Night Football, Bob Costas asked Jones whether he'd have fired himself as general manager following his team's years of struggling:

"Well, I think so, because he was there to dismiss. I've always worked for myself and you can't do that. You basically have to straighten that guy out in the mirror when you work for yourself. But certainly, if I'd had the discretion, I've done it with coaches and certainly I would have changed a general manager."

If they were smart they would go get Callahan from Cleveland as an OC. If we were smart we would beat them to the punch.

So losing is not acceptable, and it has consequences

Well that's not how it works in Dallas

This gets my vote for 2020 post of the year.

How can you overrate or underrate McClay when you have no idea what he does? You can pretend like you do but you have no clue.

Sure.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Sure.

Sure....yeah ok.

 

[KingintheNorth]

Will McClay is the only person with a workable knowledge of talent evaluation

His free agent acquisitions have not been great.

Benson Mayowa?
Nolan Carroll?
Cedric Thornton?
Gerald McCoy?
Dontari Poe?
Ha Ha Clinton-Dix?

Was he the person responsible for each and every one of these moves or was Jerry and Stephen the catalysts as well? This needs to be examined closely, before wise decisions can be forthcoming.

 

[AbeBeta]

I will miss the crap trades.

Bet he's on the Pats' staff next week

 

[atlantacowboy]

Some organizations don't accept losing. We just don't happen to root for one.

 

[cowboyec]

I remember this type of enthusiasm when we got rid of Garrett just for us to get someone worse than him.

i love your posts but no way is McCarthy worse than garrett.

 

[viman96]

Black Monday came early. Would not be surprised more firings this year.

I will miss him nearly as much as I miss Chip Kelly.

Like McCarthy, he's in the position he is in because he allows the Jones to come and go as they please in decision-making matters. They're comfortable.

Jerry has manifested his wishes with each and every head coach he had since Jimmy. If he were only a true pro football manager, it'd be ideal.

Mike Nolan is due, if not overdue, to make simplification adjustments to allow this version of the Dallas defense to be a successful undertaking.

 

[Rayman70]

So you think McCarthy should be fired 4 games in?

YES. SADLY I DO.

 

[blueblood70]

hire him now

 

[Praxit]

...0-4....lol. Yep, that will do it. To much talent on that team, to be win-less right now.

 

[Bullflop]

i love your posts but no way is McCarthy worse than garrett.

I hope Big Mike will be more willing to assert himself if he wants to avoid being the next Jerry's puppet (assuming he's not already.)

Let's face it -- Jerry is a real control freak, who lives and breathes to prove himself to be a real "football guy." Big Mike must beware.

WE LIKE OUR GUYS

...0-4....lol. Yep, that will do it. To much talent on that team, to be win-less right now.

Almost like ours lol. We are a prayer away from 0-4. A very very very lucky onside kick saved us.
