Crennel has been the one in charge of the defense - the one aspect out of three (offense and special teams the others) - that is carrying the other two. True, O'Brien brought Crennel with him and he might take him if he leaves but nonetheless, there's a Super Bowl-winning D-Coord that is suddenly looking for work and might just be thrilled to come back to Houston if the position is open.

As for the rest of your diatribe laced with outright bigotry and nonsense (Rick Smith is Virginia-born, Pennsylvania-raised, Indiana-educated and Colorado-trained), he has hit and missed at the GM Wheel-of-fortune at about the same rate as the rest of the NFL's GMs and what he has to show for it is a perennial .500 team. Not what the fans want but a hell of a lot better than some NFL fanbases have.

Should he be in charge of the team's personnel decisions? That's debatable. Is he better than Chatty Casserly? I'd probably swallow hard and say yes. Osweiler has a chance this week to take the Texans as far as they've ever gone. That might seem to justify the "upgrade" from Brian Hoyer in games that truly matter. Nobody thinks they will beat the Patriots should they win but the Texans have never had a QB capable of that, not Carr nor Schaub.

O'Brien was the same reckless get that Osweiler was. For a "conservative" owner, his biggest mistakes seems to be impulsive fixes that might have been better in retrospect had they waited for somebody better instead of being in an overheated hurry to get the one guy they coveted.
I can't even decipher this Bob. Chuck may be on a crazy rant but at least it's coherent enough to know what his particular brand of crazy is. I have no idea what point you are aiming at here.

Do you think McNair is doing a good job? Do you think he's doing as good as most? Do you think Smith is good? Average? Do you think if Brock wins a playoff game it was a good signing? Do you think O'Brien is the main problem?

These are actual questions not veiled insults. I just can't tell what point you were making or if the whole thing was about Chuck and not the Texans.
