**Bill O’Brien is off to a tough start this season as the Texans fall to 0-4 with 31-23 home loss to the Vikings.
After enduring a rough offseason with many questionable personnel decisions, this poor start isn’t sitting well in Texas.
We are 0-4 and we don't have a first round pick. Bill O'Brien has destroyed this team

Texans fall to 0-4, I wonder how long Bill O'Brien will keep both his jobs. Deshaun Watson deserves better.

Then both the @bigten and @pac12 decided to reverse course and play. I did this interview with @PennStateFball beat writer @pupadhyaya_ where I said that football in the time of coronavirus is probably a bad idea even though I love college football: https://t.co/sTkiMScFi1
