NFL Week 5, 2019: 5 Coaches on the hot seat

4. Bill O’Brien, Texans

Through four games, the Houston Texans have been one of the most difficult teams to figure out, but the good news within the AFC South is every team has the same record at the moment, meaning no one should be ruled out just yet.

After suffering a tough loss opening weekend against the New Orleans Saints, the Texans bounced back strong with two impressive wins over the Jacksonville Jaguars and Los Angeles Chargers.

But after Houston’s Week 4 loss to the Carolina Panthers in which the Texans scored just 10 points, the concerns surrounding Bill O’Brien are there again.

Unfortunately, O’Brien has seen his name on the hot seat numerous times over the last couple of years, and despite making the playoffs last season, the Texans were shocked to lose right away to the Indianapolis Colts.

Looking at how the AFC South is shaping out, chances are the winner of the division this year will come down to the final week or two, but the main focus for O’Brien at the moment needs to be on Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons.

In a way, both the Texans and Falcons should be viewing Week 5 as a must-win situation since O’Brien and Dan Quinn each seem to be on the hot seat, so for the sake of Houston, they better be ready for this one.

Otherwise, O’Brien is only going to find his name on this list next week.
