O'Brien - Staying or Going?

[nunusguy]

Watson already has voiced his support for O'Brien.

"That's out of my control, but I would love to have Coach O'Brien with me," Watson said earlier this month. "We have a great relationship. Ever since the draft process, we've been communicating. We talk football, we talk about life. And we have a lot things that kind of relate, the way we were both raised up. So we kind of connected [and have] been ever since."

Yup the rook has O'Brien's back big-time. They talk football and life - not just a mentor on the gridiron but also a father figure.
You know kinda like what the Chucksters next door neighbor in River Oaks Bob McNair has been to him. Well lets hope for O'Briens sake Watson doesn't turn on him like you know who turned on McNair.

Statement from Texans' GM Rick Smith:

"Effective immediately, I have chosen to take an extended leave of absence to focus my attention and intention on my wife's complete recovery from her recent diagnosis of breast cancer. We are faithful and trust in God's promise of healing and Wholeness. I am eternally grateful to the McNair family for their unwavering support during this trying time. This was an extremely difficult decision for me to make as I love this organization and every member of this team both on and off the field. I remain committed to our quest to bring a championship to the city of Houston, yet my family needs me now and they are my priority."
