Smith's contract is through 2020 which is why I think he survives over Coach Foul Mouth who's contract runs through next season. Of course, if any chick comes out of the woodwork to say one of these two patted her on the ass, then that will make the difference.

I'm still amused by your Trump - McCain analogy. Inserting McCain implies that one of these guys has a brain.

OF COURSE Slick Rick survives, outstanding take. Smith is like family to these Bodine boneheads. Dude got extended for making the worst signing of the last ten years, maybe longer. You don't think some addled old fool is going to fire the guy who wipes his ass and takes him to church simply because he is literally the worst GM of equal tenure that does not own the muffukin team, do you?

By the way, Buford, your absence was noted round these here parts. I figgered the revenoors done throwd you in the hoosegow agin. I'm glad Pappy'n them done paid yer bail in time for the tradishnal New Year's buzzard hunt, I shorely am.

I didn't particularly like that in the Pittsburgh game, I don't believe there was ever a camera shot of the McNair suite. Not there? "Hiding"?

Front office has been awful quiet lately..... not a good sign for OB....

ESPN reporting now that O'Brien will be back for 2018 and an extension may also be in the works. Perhaps a big key is the endorsement O'Brien got from Deshaun Watson. Good thing there's ONE adult in the room, even if he is the rookie quarterback.

If the little taunt was about *my* absences here, honestly, up through November, it was because I have an Astros site (www.astrosdaily.com) to run and the team were dominating the city's attention. Since November, what's been there to get excited about? 2017 - other than drafting a QB - was simply a non-year for the Texans.

It could get worse as I'm likely to change jobs soon but I do check the site almost daily.

Watson already has voiced his support for O'Brien.

"That's out of my control, but I would love to have Coach O'Brien with me," Watson said earlier this month. "We have a great relationship. Ever since the draft process, we've been communicating. We talk football, we talk about life. And we have a lot things that kind of relate, the way we were both raised up. So we kind of connected [and have] been ever since."

Yup the rook has O'Brien's back big-time. They talk football and life - not just a mentor on the gridiron but also a father figure.
You know kinda like what the Chucksters next door neighbor in River Oaks Bob McNair has been to him. Well lets hope for O'Briens sake Watson doesn't turn on him like you know who turned on McNair.

Statement from Texans' GM Rick Smith:

"Effective immediately, I have chosen to take an extended leave of absence to focus my attention and intention on my wife's complete recovery from her recent diagnosis of breast cancer. We are faithful and trust in God's promise of healing and Wholeness. I am eternally grateful to the McNair family for their unwavering support during this trying time. This was an extremely difficult decision for me to make as I love this organization and every member of this team both on and off the field. I remain committed to our quest to bring a championship to the city of Houston, yet my family needs me now and they are my priority."
