To be honest, even though I didn't think he had HC material, I still had no idea how bad he was until the Texans exposed that.
He has been pretty much doing everything wrong right from the start, from using fear as a motivation tool (never works) to hiring a DC that doesn't know anything else than running a 2 gap 3-4, to allowing Mallet to stay on the roster for even as much a minute after missing a game-day flight (after missing a practice).
I understand that the reason he hasn't cut Mallett may be because the QB3, Savage, is on IR, but absolutely not an excuse by any stretch. Plenty of capable QB2 out there just salivating for the chance to hold a clipboard again. Cancer in any form must be dealt with, promptly.
It appears that I am in error and need to retract some of what I wrote above if the article linked below is of any truth. It appears that BOB was actually against the acquisition of Mallett, against retaining him on the roster, and was also against "Hard Knocks" coming to town (overruled by McNair):
Texans GM Rick Smith vetoes Bill O'Brien's decision to cut QB Ryan Mallett
So while I still do not agree with some of his coaching tactics, I now feel it's unfair to judge him when he's in a losing power struggle with two other highly incompetent individuals
