Seriously...yes the Texans were bad. But you hired a guy 12 months ago, apparently thinking he was good enough. Now, you fire him after one bad season with Tyrod Taylor and Davis fucking Mills as his QB? Your best RB was Rex Burkhead. The roster was full of detritus because your dumb asses gave Bill O'Brien oversight of the roster and he burnt it to the ground on the way out the door.

The NFL is full of retarded goons for front offices.

Well why didn't he just use draft picks to build the team back up if it was so bad?

LOL

Hell, the team finished 4-12 in 2020 and that was with Deshaun Watson. Yeah, the Texans really didn't upgrade the roster from 2020 and were set up for failure this past season. Finishing 4-13, he still wasn't last in the AFC South, I guess he can thank Urban Meyer for that. Surprisingly he beat the Titans who have the AFC "bye" this weekend; which does goes to prove...."on any given Sunday"....etc.

Culley was probably not the "smartest" hire for a rebuild. The guy is 66 years old and had never even been a coordinator...unless you want to count 2 seasons as "passing game coordinator" with the ratbirds in 2019/2020. The hire made no sense in the first place, but, you give him ONE year and without a QB and a terrible roster? WTF, man?

It's an epidemic across the NFL where if you aren't winning by your second (maybe 3rd if you're lucky) season, regardless of the state of the roster, you're done. Chuck Noll was 12-30 in his first three years with the Stillers. Do they end up a dynasty in today's NFL? Bill Walsh was 2-14 and 6-10 his first two years in SF. Does he get that 3rd year (when they won a SB) today? Parcells was 3-12-1 in year one with the Giants. Does he get a second year? Ditka was 3-6 and 8-8. He get a 3rd year? Belichick went 5-11 his first year.

The list goes on. Teams nowadays have no patience to let a coach actually build a team and/or change a culture. You don't fix things post haste, regardless of the state of your roster, you're gone and they're on to the next schlub that they'll also replace in 2-3 years. It's insanity.

Sadly you are correct; however, I FIFY.

*Last three Pittsburgh head coaches:
Chuck Noll (1968-1991)
Bill Cowher (1992-2006)
Mike Tomlin (2007-present)

And both Noll and Cowher weren't fired, they chose to retire from coaching.

He was hired because he had some kind of “relationship” with Watson . He didn’t deliver so off he goes..I don’t think the owner was comfortable with him.
