Summary

Bill O'Brien is no longer the coach of the Houston Texans and no longer the GM of the Houston Texans. Will Brinson, Ryan Wilson and John Breech react to the surprising Monday news that O'Brien had been let go from both roles by the organization. BOB has been the subject of jokes on the podcast for years now, so the merits of the move aren't too shocking, but the timing and considering the status he held with the Texans caught the Pick Six Superfriends off guard. The guys walk through his timeline with the team before examining what the future holds in Houston.

'Pick Six' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Castbox and wherever else you listen to podcasts.
