Coaching Profile: BOB is a local from Dorchester, MA who has a brain on his shoulders, went to Brown University. Coached in college for 10 years before working with the Patriots from 2007-2011, coaching WRs, QBs, and served as offensive coordinator for the explosive 2TE Patriots offense that was also one of TB12’s best and most efficient seasons (won the MVP). BOB then turned around the embattled Penn State program before going to the Houston Texans. After several above-average Texans seasons, he has been OC at Alabama.
BOB is the Houston Texans’ winningest coach in franchise history. He won 4 AFC South Division Titles. BOB is easily the best NFL coach out of BB’s tree. There were several bad trades when he was GM for a year, but I strongly posit it was actually conman Jack Easterby who wrecked the team and O’Brien took the fall. Contrary to superficial belief, it was well documented how much of a fraud Jack Easterby was, how Littlefinger Easterby was pulling strings behind the scenes, and also how Easterby was the one who pushed for disastrous trades.

Positives and Negatives:
- BOB knows the Patriots system and also is the best option to make the expensive, immovable Hunter/Jonnu TE tandem work.
- BOB also knows Mac and the Alabama system, so is uniquely suited to fix our broken promising QB.
- BOB is probably overqualified to be just an OC so likely will need an Assistant HC title to entice him.
- Negatives: he has a reputation as a hot-head so that will need some adjustment (or therapy). He should stay away from the war room, focus on coaching, and let Groh/Wolf run the front office. Finally, he seems to not be able to beat great teams - both on the Texans but also on the Pats, he seems to not be able to win in the playoffs but I am hopeful he would get better at this over time.
