Quote:for the immediate future of the next 5 to possibly 10 years, the above is probably more true than you realize. 

 

The Texans just got themselves a really good football coach. Coughlin level. 

 

This is borderline laughable. 

 

To say the team might not get a sniff of a division title for the next 5-10 years because of a coach hiring in Houston really is about as overly stated than much of what I've seen on this board in the past, even from a drama queen like you.

 

To make this declaration implies that Gus Bradley and David Caldwell just can't possibly build a team that is ever bit as competitive as the Texans or Colts at this point shows the lengths you'll go to keep up the schtick. 

 

I won't go into the history of coaches tied to the Belichick tree who land head coaching positions elsewhere.  I'll just focus on the fact that O'Brien had the benefit of coaching one of the best quarterbacks to play the game over the past decade.  When he didn't have the benefit of having Tom Brady because of injury, he was the benefactor of such a well oiled machine in New England that made it difficult for anyone to fail. 

 

I'm not saying O'Brien isn't a good coach.  I'm sure he is, just like past Patriot coordinators who landed head coaching gigs were.  Every coach who was plucked from the Patriots lineage under Belichick went on to raging success elsewhere in the NFL, right? 

 

Romeo Crennel, Jim Schwartz, Nick Saban, Al Groh, Josh McDaniels and Eric Mangini combined for zero playoff wins as head coaches in the NFL.  All of them failed miserably as head coaches in the NFL, lending credence to the notion that there's a Belichick curse when it comes to his coordinators advancing to the next level. 

 

To think that O'Brien is going to create this juggernaut in Houston, and there's zero hope for anyone but the Colts to give them a run for the division title is truly a premature notion, but coming from you, it's the typical knee jerk reaction that is required so everyone can read your incessant rantings about how you're smarter than the rest. 

 

You've whined about the Bradley hiring since the day after you abandoned supporting him as a good option for this team.  You liked him right up the point where the team showed interest, then had to abandon that position to maintain your little schtick. 

 

It's quite possible that Gus Bradley turns out to be an excellent head coach.  He's certainly getting a lot of props from people who have a clue about what he's been able to accomplish so far, but what do they know?  Based on what we've seen with the way his players have responded to his coaching style, and how they want to play for this guy, as the talent on the roster improves, I am confident the Jaguars will be pushing for opportunities to win the division.  That won't be 5-10 years from now.  I'm expecting it within the next season or two where you'll see the infusion of talent and the changing culture with the team start to reap benefits.  You can't see this, or you intentionally ignore this because it doesn't support your narrative, or your schtick.  We get it. 

 

If O'Brien turns out to be a good hire, that's great.  It helps to make this division one of the most competitive in the league.  I'd much rather have that than to be stuck with a bunch of patsies.  But, your reaction to this tells me you'd prefer to be the big dog in a weak division.  That tells me you're not one to take on challenges in your own life because that might require you to work harder to succeed, and as everyone here can attest, your defeatist attitude tells us a lot about who you are in the real world. 

 

I'm constantly left wondering why you're a fan of this team, or even if you really ARE a fan at all?  Seriously, you're such a miserable human being to begin with, and for whatever reason, you decided to glob on to this fan base in order to spread your cancer.  Why don't you pick a team that really gets it with the way they operate, grabbing the kinds of coaches and free agents that make you a giddy little fry cook?  You have no ties to this team. 

 

I'm convinced you're not really a fan of the Jaguars, but more a fan of the attention you get on this message board.  My bet is you're actually a fan of another team, but you don't infest their message board because you don't get the attention you crave so desperately.  You relish when people respond to you because it's attention.  It doesn't matter if they're laughing at you as long as they're talking to you.
