My initial reaction when I first saw this was "What are the Jets Doing?"
Although the Texans have underperformed this season, I thought they were going to ride it out with B.O.B. Considering he made so many franchise altering moves, I thought it would be better for the Texans to sit back and see. Now, I don't agree with almost all the moves he made but he was clearly way over his head having all these job titles.
I'm not sure what the Texans management saw in him but I'm assuming he went about it like how recent college grads interviews for their first "real" job. Hype yourself up for jobs you are way under qualified for.
Besides trading Deandre Hopkins for a washed up running back, I think his worst move is the Laremy Tunsil trade. Although Tunsil is an awesome left tackle to have, you need to win games ASAP if you make a trade like that. Instead, this is what their sitting at.
The Houston Texans are spending $255M in cash on their roster this season, more than any other team in the NFL.

They owe their first- and second-round picks in 2021 to the Dolphins.
They're currently 0-4.
Not having your first or second round picks is devastating for a team that looks like their headed for a rebuild. As crazy as it sounds, I feel like you gotta trade away Watson or Tunsil to clear up some cap space moving forward. They're in cap space hell right now. That's a disaster for a team that's no where near competing for a Super Bowl. They'll be able to restock on their draft capital and maybe not fuck it up for once?
Also, chill out Reggie Bush.
This is the problem with football teams. There’s nothing for alumni & they don’t bring back players to mentor and help these young guys. Instead the hire coaches with no playing experience like a Bill O’Brien, Joe Judge, Adam Gase, and they expect them to be great leaders of men https://t.co/C0AXHlUE1q

Ever heard of guys like Bill Belichick, Andy Reid, and John Harbaugh? Let's check their NFL stats.

That's right, the three best coaches in the NFL never played a snap in the NFL.
