It's long overdue. He was going to break Deshaun Watson. He got rid of Hopkins. It can't get any worse.

Seems there  are consequences to losing to the 2020 version of the Minnesota Vikings...  ;)

Ya think getting beaten by the team who turned Diggs into Justin Jefferson and a half dozen other picks might have soured the owner on Billo, who got David Johnson, a 2nd and a 4th for Hopkins?

4 division titles in 7 years, he’ll find work. Good coach, not a good GM.

He's also a grade A asshole. Big time.

Like @Bullazin said, his on-field results are actually solid. They beat Buffalo in the playoffs last year, after all.
His results really aren't that dissimilar to Mike Zimmer's-- including so far this season-- so it's interesting he got canned and Zim got 3 more years. He's had Watson that whole time so you could make the argument he should have done a lot more, but I think the real problem was his roster management and GM moves. He's made a number of bone-headed trades and signings and it cost him a lot of goodwill in Houston.
He'll catch on as a coordinator somewhere I bet, or he can HC a big time college program. He excelled at Penn State.

Or they could beat us, drop us to 1-5, and send Zimmer to the reaper.

Not sure it's likely, but Quinn has a Super Bowl run on his resume so I don't think Zimmer should be digging someone else's grave.

BTW the first time I read the title of this thread "O'Brien is out" for some reason I conflated Brian O'Neill's Name with that for some goofy reason and thought our RT  was out for the season!  Man I hate 2020!

The rumors are also that when BB fired somebody, he yelled and dropped F bombs and was a complete asshat.
