TexasAg1969 Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 I figured he was a goner as soon as he traded Hopkins away. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browns149 Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Can’t believe he outlasted Gase in NYJ But then I heard the Jets want to lose every game, so keeping Gase is probably a good thing for them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 He's left that franchise in terrible shape... cap... no 1st-round pick in 2021... Only question was whether BillO was a worse GM than HC. I say, yes. The Texans are going to be the next Jags... there's a fire sale coming to Houston.

Tour2ma Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Romeo Crennel... interim HC. Team will play hard for him. Tim Kelly (?) OC... looks like a BillO guy. Anthony Weaver, former Raven and Texan DE, and former Browns Coach, is the likely DC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Final thought... Another case of a decent HC who had his team in the playoffs going to "the boss" and saying, "Boss, if I could just have control of personnel..." How many times have we seen that be the end of a HC? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did....and while we didn't have a "pool', if we had, and you had him, you would have won. But it would have been close between him and Gase. And right now the Falcons are getting their butts handed to them by the Pack....so their coach could be in trouble. And Matt Patricia in Detroit is on shaky ground, IMO.

That was the final straw. I couldn't believe it when they did that this offseason. Then he goes batshit crazy and trades Hopkins, a WR that put up big numbers with QBs like Schaub and Osweiler. From Wikipedia, about his 2015 season: "Hopkins finished the 2015 season with then-career highs in receptions (111), receiving yards (1,521), and touchdowns (11), despite playing with four different quarterbacks (Brian Hoyer, Ryan Mallett, T. J. Yates, and Brandon Weeden)" Tell me how many of those QBs woud you have even as a backup QB in your team... Unbelievable player. Bill O'Brien may have ended up messing the Texans this year even more than he has done all his years as a HC... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorsRpussies Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Literally one of the worst Gms in history of sport. It will take half a decade to fix that mess wasting away Watson's prime years. No cap or picks. Dolphins will be really good in like 3 years with all those 1st rounders.

And given away for a RB who's last decent season was in 2016..... I think Bill tries so hard to imitate Hoodie that he loses his way. You can't just mimic another person 100% and be successful. When Bill found out how much Hops wanted in his next contract, he flipped out and over-reacted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He pretty much was running the whole show in '09, his first season with the Browns. George Kokinis was an empty suit that was hired AFTER Mangini, and he was fired halfway through the 2009 season. Trust me, Mangini was running the Browns lock, stock and barrel... I and many others on the old board I was on argued for years with the brilliant mind that is Pete Smith (yes, THAT Pete Smith) about how Mangini completely butchered that draft. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't get any arguments out me about his sub-par play but look at the number Freddie did to Baker, it may take another year for him to recover. If I remember right Matt choose to bang bitches at USC while in the NFL, and party during the season like a crazy frat-boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been the ruination of many highly drafted first round qbs. David Carr comes to mind immediately.... Our own Tim Couch may be in the running... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
