He made really dumb mistakes even before that.

Why/how they made him the GM as well as coach is still just so crazy.
Bill Belichick reccomended him.

I thought trading Clowney was dubious. He was effective, made a couple of pro bowls in HOU.

Yah that was a stupid trade because Seattle gave up so little and DL come at a premium. Clowney didn't have a lot of sacks with Seattle but he graded as one of the elite edge rushers in the league. Partly Seattle's problem last year was their secondary was absolute trash or injured...

Problem with this year is the pass rush/DL is lacking (some injuries in the secondary but nothing major) and outside of Miami we've gone against some offenses who have high scoring potential who claimed most of their points in garbage time when Norton decided to drop everyone in a cover deep 24/7, allowing easy underneath passes for 5 years that go for another 5-10 YAC.

Texans fired coach and GM Bill O'Brien.​

O'Brien comically promoted himself to play-calling duties right before owner Cal McNair stepped in and ended the former's reign of terror altogether. Romeo Crennel was promoted to interim coach effective immediately. O'Brien, +2,500 to be the first coach fired heading into the year, was reportedly not seeing "eye to eye" with EVP/character coach Jack Easterby, who remains close to McNair. Whatever the case, O'Brien leaves behind a mishmash of veteran pieces he (and only he) envisioned could contend long-term without a single dynamic rookie, DeAndre Hopkins, or a 2021 first- and second-round pick. It won't be a blemish on Crennel's resume if he's unable to right the 0-4 wreckage left behind. Deshaun Watson's desire to stay in Houston throughout his career is suddenly trending up

I'm afraid that Kyle Schottenheimer could be the next HC somewhere...

The Belichick coaching tree greatest hits. Crennel's been fired twice (Browns & Chiefs). McDaniels failed. Patricia isn't doing so good. Eric Mangini. Jim Schwartz And now O'Brien. When will teams learn that BB doesn't pass his important secrets to his coaching staff?

And Crennell is interim at Houston now.
