Yes, the Texans won their division and qualified for the playoffs, and yes, they did it with Brock Osweiler under center for all but one game, but as recently as seven days ago, PFT reported that coach Bill O'Brien might not return for the 2017 season -- and it would be his decision to leave because of friction with general manager Rick Smith.
