Perhaps it has to do with Philadelphia jumping in front of Houston in the Draft and getting the player Houston coveted Andre Dillard.

The draft is such a crap shoot I don’t think a singular “mistake” is why he got fired. They have a temperamental HC that’s probably the best guess.

I just don’t get this as a reason for firing him - no one even knows what any of the guys from the 2019 draft will turn into yet. What if Dillard sucks, will they regret firing him?

Do you think that we bring him back?

 

 

 

If absolutely bring him back in some capacity.  He was given less than 2 seasons, which really is not fair.  Texans were hardly a dumpster fire.

I wonder if Vince would let him go.

 

That’s not going to happen

They made the playoffs in his only year as GM. I think he got a raw deal, unless there is something we don’t know.

This link doesn't add much clarity to the situation other than he was taking the blame for something he had little to do with.

I suppose but how do they even know that until they take the field 3 months from now?

They don’t but his bosses are obviously not impressed.  Nor am I

A Houston area friend of mine says that the rumor on Houston radio is that something went down behind the scenes and that it's not performance related

I feel like that makes the most sense.

"The timing of Gaine's firing is stunning. After the draft and OTAs. Six weeks before training camp. The Texans looking like the New York Jets ... but worse and more clueless."

 

Glad to see the new standard of incompetence in the NFL is our AFC East rival...

Must have been getting advice on how to handle the ladies from Russ.

He either lost a power struggle with O'Brien or he was harassing employees

He was about to trade Clowney and O’Brien didn’t approve? Maybe they got into it. I’m pretty sure OBrien controls the 53.

Sexual harrassment lawsuit here we come...

Here’s what went down #sources 

 

O’Brien: “Brian, why the hell cant you find any players that fit my scheme?”

Gaine: “If you had a f&@$ing scheme maybe I could.”

He failed at upgrading the OL

I'm reading this a lot on this thread. 

 

Scuttlebutt is he got canned because he did NOT draft for need? That's kinda, like...backwards, yeah?

@JerseyBills I’m not sure what’s confusing? The Bills hired him to be 2nd in command not long ago. He left after getting a GM job. His team went 11-5 and he got fired. I don’t think that it is unreasonable to think that the Bills may be interested in bringing him back for the upcoming season.

Ha i actually responded that way because of the news . Not because anything you said , which is my bad ! 

I actually agree with you , I'd be very good with bringing him back on in some capacity.
