The Texans are sending O'Brien??

I figured this thread had to somehow be about him based on the title.

Case study 1: The Houston Texans

Lol I don't care who you are, that's funny.

 

[Wolf]

As fast as the Texans' mgmt moves we know it won't be a one semester course

 

[maverick512000]

Step one: Become the godfather of the owners kid.

Step two: Should step one fail then be linked to the most successful team in NFL history and convince the owner that that his team could be the (insert city region here) version of that team.

Step three: Above all else, no matter what you are saying say it with confidence. Then, even if they know you are feeding them BS, they will still question if maybe you're right because you said it with confidence.

And that is how you run an NFL franchise. For how to run a successful NFL franchise please transfer to our Boston campus.

I thought it was at least a decent attempt at humor.

No words.

It was..I read it after I posted my little quip.

 

[76Texan]

They just mispell the word "Ruin".

 

[Speedy]

That's a waste. All you need to know about how to run a franchise is right here at TT.

 

[IDEXAN]

This is bound to provoke lots of laughter from lots of different places.

 

[Wolf]

Should be

I would have bet good money this was an Onion article.

 

[texanhead08]

They need to learn how to win games at the college level at Rice before they tackle NFL football.

 

[powda]

This is a 1 semester rice university class?

What's the cost on such a thing for 32 total gm opportunities?

I'd wager the Texans would be a perfect mascot for such a class. Consider the profit they make vs the product they provide. And we just keep coming back like crack addicts.

 

[Texazan]

I swear I thought this was an Onion article, just thought no way this was true.

 

[Seegara]

<har, har>, good one. Not too many will need that course. We on this board could all teach it. We all know how better than the Texans FO.

They ran out of space and couldn’t fit the entire headline but here’s the last part

Into the Ground

Step one - hire an out of work Fat john travolta stunt double as head coach

After that the rest is a piece of cake, which fat travolta will no doubt eat.

 

[Toro Bravo]

Unbelievable!! Who is going to teach it - Cal?

 

[DBCooper]

They forgot the NOT!

 

[IDEXAN]

Unbelievable!! Who is going to teach it - Cal?

He took the course but you know he flucked out.

 

[Thorn]

The should merge this class into the geology department so you can then learn how to run a football team into the ground.

 

[Dutchrudder]

They forgot the NOT!

 

[Uncle Rico]

 

[House of Pain]

2 franchises that know all about winning!

Run or ruin or both lol

 

[mws]

The sad truth is the Texans are probably well qualified to run this course. They should rename it to "How to Make Money Without Worrying About Winning" though.

 

[Texecutioner]

Run or ruin or both lol

He needs the class. Sign him up
