Look out, Houston Texans fans…Bill O’Brien could be coming back. This time around, he would be going to another AFC South team.
Bill O’Brien has spent the 2021 season as the Alabama offensive coordinator, but the former Houston Texans head coach has impressed so much that he is already being mentioned as coming back to the NFL as a head coach.
According to a report from CBS Sports, the Jacksonville GM is “pushing” O’Brien as a potential candidate to ownership.
“Trent Baalke has also recently been pushing Alabama offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien to ownership as a possible candidate. O’Brien earned accolades as a play-caller under Nick Saban and has previous experience as head coach in Houston. However, the bitter end to his time there, and his history of power struggles and personality clashes, won’t likely do much to stem the tide of public sentiment in Jacksonville against the early stages of this hiring process.”
The Jaguars fired head coach Urban Meyer after a terrible record and just numerous off-the-field issues.
The 52-year-old O’Brien was the Texans’ head coach from 2014-20.
