Head coaching searches for one's favorite football team are a bittersweet thing to follow during an NFL offseason. On the one hand, the constant barrage of breaking news, swerves, and surprises can be exhilarating, particularly for people (like me) required to generate massive amounts of content every day. On the other hand, if your team is searching for a new head coach, chances are your team was not very good last season.
This just in — the Houston Texans were not very good last season. They were bad enough, four weeks in, that Bill O'Brien had to go. Unfortunately, he's left behind a mess, largely a result of his one year as general manager, to where the only redeeming football quality about the team is its quarterback Deshaun Watson, and maybe a half dozen or so other supporting cast members.
