Quote:What an awful hire. What has this guy done? He will be another broken branch in the Bill B. tree, and the Texans have to buy out his contract?

 

As a Jag fan, we thank you Bob. I feel a downward spiral coming for that franchise.

 

LOL, post bookmarked..

 

And who gives a flip if McNair has to buy out his contract?  This isn't a small market, McNair has plenty of money is making plenty of money and cash isn't a issue.

 

The same short sided thinking that has people writing O'Brien off because of the "Bill Belichik" coaching tree is the same kind of type casted mind set that caused Alex Smith to be taken #1 ovrl and caused Aaron Rodgers to plummet towards the bottom of the first round simply because he was a "Jeff Tedford QB". 

 

O'Brien has something the other coaches did not.. actual HCing experience and with all of the sanctions he had to navigate through that tenure was a success.  There's coaches that hold that role who you know are still nothing, but coordinators.. Dom Capers, Norv Turner, Romeo Crennel, Wade Phillips, and Gary Kubiak.  I've said multiple times, whoever hires Kubiak to be their OC will be happy, whoever hires him to be their HC will be sorry.  He isn't a HC, neither were the other guys I mentioned.

 

O'Brien is a HC, anybody who will hold the superstar HOF QB just as accountable as another Joe Blow on the roster http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33V0hSri6BM is leadership personified and that's exactly what this team needs.. Kubiak would never do that (the guy couldn't even watch us kick FGs).  Matt Schaub would pee himself if O'Brien was on the sidelines.
