As speculation continues to surround the coaching future of Texans coach Bill O'Brien despite owner Bob McNair insisting that he won't be fired and O'Brien saying he has two years remaining on his five-year contract, O'Brien insisted he and his team are focused on the task at hand against the New England Patriots.
"Absolutely not, there's no distraction," O'Brien said Monday."I really enjoy coaching this team. It's a great place to work."
With so many head-coaching vacancies, O'Brien would be an extremely attractive candidate. However, he's not available unless McNair changed his mind and fired him or worked out a trade or O'Brien opted to quit and walked away from $10 million to $12 million over the remainder of the contract.
