Adam S says O'Brien to Houston

Have fun with that. QB situation is a mess. Foster is broken down and Andre Johnson is on the back-end of his career. That's a re-build situation.

All excellent point 44Deezel.

To all the Lovie doubters:

If memory serves the ownership in Chicago was ultra cheap through most Lovie's tenure. I remember myriad sports observers say he didn't have a lot to work with. It makes sense looking at the minimal FA signings Chicago brought in over the years. Peppers and cutler notable exceptions, though cutler was mostly about draft picks. And I thought peppers was a risky signing.

Anyway, everyone says Lovie's guys play their hearts out for him. He's no-nonsense and wise enough to not be moved around by the media BS. Even if this isn't his dream job I think he would be perfect for it if that makes sense.

All excellent point 44Deezel.

Even though I am not a big fan of bringing Lovie in, it is interesting to note that for all the praise Trestman has gotten, the Bears actually finished with a better record under Lovie Smith last year than they will finish this year.

With O'Brien going to Houston I guess I like a Hue Jackson and Lovie Smith or Whisenhut + Russ Grim/ Rex Ryan combination. Mike Shanahan may be here next year with Kubiak.

$13 Million is a lot of money to lose.

Not to mention the $6mil that the skins would have to pay to Penn State for O'Brien and then the cost for his staff and him. Too much cost. He may not ever have been a option for the skins.

Lovie was given the talent to get it done and he couldn't take that next step. I think Lovie would be a much worse hire than Shanny.

And the defense went to trash overnight. Peppers is a good example. Notorious for not giving 100% and certainly dogging it this year, but Lovie got the most out of him. And same goes for all his guys. It's not like he had elite talent everywhere but produced some elite defenses.

So, bring in an offensive genius under Lovie and let the fun begin.

Why is everyone taking this obrien to Houston talk at face value? There is no reason for this report to come out, other than if it's not true and one of the parties involved is trying to push a third party in a certain direction. For example, Houston leaks this story to pressure Lovie smith into signing their best offer. Or, obriens camp leaks this story to get some other team to up their offer. If anything, this report makes me think it's highly unlikely obrien is close to a deal with Houston.

Eh usually schefty is pretty spot on so I'm.trusting his word on this

My fucking dog could do better than Shanahan did here.
I don't know the first thing about your dog, but I'm inclined to agree with this.

Reports already been refuted. Texans are interviewing multiple candidates next week.
