Could the Last Holdout of the Bill O’Brien Era Soon Be Gone?

The 2022 Texans, once they finally take the field to do actual football-type stuff, will bear little resemblance to the teams that came before it. With a full complement of drafts and the purging of the once-anointed franchise savior, this team is deep into the rebuild that it was driven into by previous forces.

The rapid decline and fall of the late 2010s (2019-2021) Texans has been well-documented, especially on this site. Should it have ever really happened? Clearly not, but it did. If there is any consolation to watching the flotsam and jetsam of the previous regime, it is that most of the key leaders/drivers of that decline are purged from the organization.
