Sharpe issues warning against Jaguars signing O’Brien as head coach

The tight-ended Walk of Fame Shannon Sharpe gave his thoughts on Jacksonville Jaguars potentially of interest to former Houston Texans head coach Bill O’Brien.

Sharpe won three Super Bowls during his time with the Denver Broncos and Baltimore Ravens. However, he is of the opinion that O’Brien should be disqualified as head coach in the NFL again.

Sharpe, who now works as a sports analyst, remains the exception to O’Brien’s headless absolute. One that seems to have taken the soul of the Texas franchise. Sharpe took to Twitter to remind fans of O’Brien’s controversial staffing decision last season.

“Dealing D. Hopkins for David Johnson should remove him from his position as hd coach in the NFL. “

Sharpe mentioned the case when O’Brien Trades Future Hall of Fame Recipients DeAndre Hopkins, who was the team’s best receiver, for a fourth-round pick in the 2020 draft for the Cardinals in exchange for David Johnson. The move was heavily criticized by almost every nook and cranny of the NFL community, and just four weeks into the 2020 season, O’Brien was fired.

In January 2021, the former Texans head coach was appointed offensive coordinator and defender coach for Alabama when he teamed up with Nick Saban.

O’Brien is currently competing in the College Soccer National Championship, Alabama Crimson Tide. However, once the season is over, it is assumed that the former NFL head coach will be snubbed by the Jacksonville Jaguars for an interview.

With how his tenure with Texas ends, is he the right fit for Jaguar? Well, the 52-year-old has a 54-52 winning streak in the NFL as a coach and led the Texans franchise to four championships in his time from 2014 to 2020.

O’Brien also led Houston to post-season four times. However, they failed to make it through to the deep playoffs, never making it past the split in each playoff entry.

There are a number of potential head coach positions opening up, with vacancies at the Jaguars and Broncos most recently offered. Which means O’Brien could very well return to the NFL sooner rather than later.

Whether he wants to give up his post with Alabama remains to be seen, but it’s clear Jacksonville would at least want to chat with the former Texas coach. Despite what Shannon Sharpe thinks.
