OB's biggest problem is his fear of hiring competent veteran coordinators and position coaches to his staff. OB built his staff in manner that screams, he's too insecure in his position to have coaches on his staff that could easily replace him. Crennel was a fluke b/c OB never hired him....the organization did. Crennel carried a big stick within the organization until RS exited. OB quickly made his presence felt as the leader and the guy who would be making the calls even with Gaine as the temporary GM.
OB had/has no desire to hire veteran coaches who may challenge his way of doing things.....especially when things are coming off the tracks. So OB did what any insecure person does when they find themselves sitting at the top, they hire "Yes Men" to constantly pat him on the back or find excuses for him when things are not going as expected. Now that he is the most powerful person n the Texans organization outside of the McNair's who would truly approach him with "real" and deserved critiques?
This team has far too much talent show this poorly against 2 of the best teams in the NFL. If this team remained exactly as is and OB was dropped and Bill Parcels was handed the reins....he'd have the team turned around by game nine. Bottom line....OB needs to be sent packing and the team must get a mentor for the McNair's. My pick has always been Bill Polian for this job. His NFL track record should command the McNair's respect as somewho could guide them to a long term understanding how as to how much owners should be involved with the actual building of a successful organization.
