Although DeMeco Ryans is new and Bill O Brian has been a coach for as long as J.J. Watt who do you think based of their first year has done better? (side note we don't talk about the 3-13-1)

Lets not forget about Bobby Slovik... when the Texans lost to the chiefs like 41-31 because of a faked punt by the Texans just for them to convert on downs. awful play by Mr. Brian who gave no good reason after the interview as why he did it he kind of just chocked up when asked about itWell. Obrien took a strong team and turned in into the laughing stock of the NFL before he was run out of town.
Ryan's took that same laughing stock and turned it into a legit SuperBowl threat.
You mean Bob McNair took Clowney.Bill O’Brien’s first year…
Drafted Jadeveon Clowney over Aaron Donald
9-7 and missed the playoffs.
DeMeco Ryan’s first year…
Drafted Stroud over AR5
10-7 and -made- the playoffs
Good luck, be safe.Hahahahaha!
That’s funny!
Now back to hurricane preparations.
Good luck, be safe.
Are you evacuating? I-75 looked packed last night from the pics I saw.
Wonder how Hookem's doing?

Praying for yall safety DB.Thanks man!
I’m in Orlando so nowhere to go really.
Used to have a place in Banner Elk NC in the mountains and that was always our backup and you see how that worked out!
Hookem is in Tampa or st Pete so he probably needed to bugout.
Good question. If he gos down does the site go down?
I hope he is safe.

Yep. I agree wholly.Don't forget that Bill O'Brien took over a strong (at least stronger team than what Ryans inherited) team as well. DeMeco took over a laughingstock team with the 2nd overall draft pick. So that record (9-7 vs 10-7) isn't even close when taken into context.
Yep. I agree wholly.
Bill O’Brien took over a team that was demoralized by Kubiak’s stroke, and all those injuries to Schaub (Suh, lost an ear, and ultimately his lisfranc).
We still had Hopkins, Andre, Watt, Duane Brown, Chris Meyers, Jonathan Joseph, Arian, and Owen “Open” Daniels. We were a damn strong team… and Bill O’Brien single-handedly destroyed it.

What do you mean?He had some help

Man I can't believe you don't recognize Jack Easterby. Probably the only person in NFL history to go from character coach to being in charge of football operations, basically handling everything from team logistics to salary cap management to sport science, equipment, video, player development and security for football operations.Who the heck is that baldy albino Egyptian Pharoah look-alike?
Meh. Not even getting into the whole Easterby stuff. That’s a completely -different- thing after 2020. That was when the Easterby stuff reared it’s head.
O’Brien was hired in 2013/2014. During O’Brien’s first year… Easterby was just a chaplain. Nobody important. Easterby didn’t join the Texans until 2019.
I blame Bill O’Brien. Nobody else. Y’all need to stop wearing tinfoil hats from time to time.
I agree but Easterby is irrelevant to this thread. He wasn’t even employed by the Texans until a few years later.The whole OBrein and Easterby saga is like that cheating crazy x-wife that you don’t have kids with.
You could have done without that experience. Nothing was gained from it but mental trauma.

RS destroyed it along with BOB. This is what happens when a GM, HC can't work well together.Yep. I agree wholly.

Ryans got Stroud
RS wouldn't get BOB a young up and coming QB. Imagine the team BOB took over with Stroud.
I always liked Rick Smith.RS destroyed it along with BOB. This is what happens when a GM, HC can't work well together.
Let’s tell the whole truth. Tepper didn’t give Ryans a choice.You do know Ryans was behind drafting Stroud right? Stroud came after Ryans was hired. Therefore, he didn't inherit Stroud.
Two wordsMeh. Not even getting into the whole Easterby stuff. That’s a completely -different- thing after 2020. That was when the Easterby stuff reared it’s head.

No look alike. That's the last specimen of the Egyptian Bald Albino Pharoah. Now, extinct.Who the heck is that baldy albino Egyptian Pharoah look-alike?

Easterby was likely the one who brought in Caserio as mentioned by SteelBTexan upthread. Six degrees of separation to everything, eh?Part of OBs legacy is bringing Easterby.
The thread is premature in general as it is as Demeco is barely in his 2nd year. It took 4 or 5 years for OB to get the hot seat and was bailed out by rookie Watson saying he wanted him back. To compare we should give Demeco a few more years to compare.
But let’s be real - Demeco would have to be slinging baby oil in the locker room like P.Diddy and trade away Stroud to be worse than OB.
The only real comparison is Kubiak vs Ryans.
We will see.
