I would just add that O’Brien’s teams were some of the least penalized teams in the NFL… anyone who watched the Pat’s offense this season should be starved for that. Also once he became the defacto GM towards the end of his run in Houston they made the playoffs because they improved their OLine. I don’t want him to be the GM but he clearly knew what was wrong with his team. With a better GM to start he might have had better results with the Texans.There was no drop off whatsoever after he left. He was only the OC for one year (2011). Play caller for two, but was highly criticized in his first year in 2010. Had no answer vs Rex Ryan in the divisional round and choked in the 2011 Super Bowl. He had Tom Brady, Gronk, Hernandez, Welker, Branch and a very good OL. He wouldn't have anyone close to that in NE. His claim to fame was yelling at Tom Brady.
Either way he ran a similar offense here in the 2010’s with two TE sets and no FB. He has undoubtedly grown and improved at Alabama and has that younger college mindset. If anything has been proven from watching this years Bucs team it’s that Tommy isn’t always right.
