The Houston Texans made the move they needed to make by firing head coach Bill O’Brien as head coach and GM.

After Houston Texans head coach Bill O’Brien all but said he didn’t have the answers following their loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, Texans owner Cal McNair had an answer on Monday, and that was O’Brien is no longer the head coach or general manager of the franchise.

Currently the Texans are 0-4, and at the end of last season the team lost in the Divisional Round of the AFC Playoffs to the Kansas City Chiefs, a game where the Texans held a 24-point lead into the second quarter.
