The Houston Texans and Philadelphia Eagles are cautionary tales for the Arizona Cardinals.
You have to weigh more than just the end of season record.
The Texans kept Bill O’Brien because he had only one losing season in his first six.
They gave him the Ken Whisenhunt treatment and he had personnel control, he wasn’t respected and despite being 52-44 heading into the season, it was obvious the team was flailing.
Now, they have their star quarterback asking for a trade because there’s no help on the way. Remember, the Texans should be picking third overall, but they’re not because of a trade for Laremy Tunsil.
