BREAKING NEWS...Bill O'Brien has fired himself as offensive coordinator of the Houston Texans.
Texans are going to promote quarterbacks coach George Godsey to offensive coordinator. He was defacto OC last season.
— John McClain (@McClain_on_NFL) March 24, 2015
George Godsey, of course, was hired by O'Brien as the Texans' QB coach last year. As McClain noted, Godsey was essentially the offensive coordinator for the Texans last year anyway; this is simply a recognition (and probably an accompanying raise) of that reality. Considering Godsey's familiarity with Ryan Mallett, Brian Hoyer, and Bill O'Brien's offense, this should be a relatively seamless transition.
Famous last words, right? Does this merit any reaction from you, aside from congratulating Godsey and perhaps proof that O'Brien is growing comfortable enough to delegate a bit more?
