As Houston Texans head coach, Bill O'Brien has been competent.
As their general manager, he's been anything but.

The collision between an unprepared team during an unprecedented offseason and a year of mishandling the roster came to a head during an embarrassing 34-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2020 season opener on Thursday Night Football.
