Can someone explain why O'Brien was never interviewed for this job? I guess he wasn't part of the good ole boy network from Tampa. My feeling is that there was no way Snyder and Allen could deal with, or handle a strong personality like that.
My guess is he never wanted this job. He was interviewing teams not teams interviewing him.

Yeah the JJ Watt love fest was a little overboard. But for someone who makes a ton of money, and is the best at his position, he sure isn't sitting around enjoying the pats on the back. Dude works his ass off. Even catches balls on the jug machine, my guess was that he'll be playing more TE for them.

He should have been the first call Snyder made.

They were interested but Texans moved quickly to hire O'Brien. Texans got a jump on the coaching search that year because they fired Kubiak with 3 games left in the season

Would you want to work for Snyder? I sure as hell wouldn't. Knowing good and well the idiot would make game day QB starter decisions is enough to know I would want no part of him. Better yet, be willing to sacrifice the team just so one guy can be developed. It probably took a 5 year deal just to lure Jay here.

Let's not get carried away with the Bill O'Brien love based on a pre training camp speech, or anything else we see on Hard Knocks (again, it's training camp).
I don't think Gibbs would have been a darling on HK, but he could manage people and he could adjust at halftime like the best of them. Speeches on HK don't impress me.

I rather have Bill over Jay before ever hearing a HK speech from Bill. I am willing to bet Bill is the coach of Houston next year and Jay is working at Taco Bell with RGIII.

Garcon!
And that is how a tiny scatback called the scariest man in the NFL a "f--k boy" and lived to tell the tale. For now.
Bleacher Report at its finest. :laughing-
