Cloak O'Brien is the current target. There seems to be a consensus that Smith is untouchable so I see the best chance the Texans have to improve going forward is a better head coach. My opinion is Smith is the bigger problem I think McNair should get rid of both of them but since that isn't going to happen at least there is a chance with O'Brien, considering the rumors circulating. And I get rose colored glasses, cult like fans, the Texans have got to love them, these guys are their heroes and they can do no wrong. But once again, how many mistakes does O'Brien have to make before we realize he's not ready for prime time. I've cited several articles about Bill "Big mistake of the Week" O'Brien, are those authors trolls too? Here are articles from CBS where one of which they are actually chronicling his mistakes as there are so many of them...

You would think in his fourth season he would have learned from all of his previous mistakes but his "Biggest mistake of the week" moniker was inspired by headlines this year.
Who are those authors? Never heard of them and they appear to be blog writers meaning they are no different than you and I with our opinions. No credibility.
The patriots and Seahawks games weren’t all on OB. The players made mistakes and failed on the opportunities to close out the game. OB didn’t help, but he wasn’t the reason either.
And why is OB the target? If Rick Smith is untouchable I want that disfunction they have to remain. Why? So when this ship continues to go down hill Rick has a chance of being caught in it. 2020 is when his contract ends. Hire another head coach and he is guaranteed another extension. Extend OB and they may be both removed from their current positions if **** hits the fan. Rick pushed out or upstairs. OB gone all together.
You remove OB you get Lovie Smith, Marvin Lewis, or worse yet Jeff Fischer. And a Rick McNair extension.
The players like OB. He hasn’t lost the locker room.
And his replacement will be worse than what we have.
