“I will never quit as the head football coach of the Houston Texans,” answered O’Brien matter-of-factly. “Ever.”
“I’m not a quitter,” continued O’Brien. “I was raised in a family that believed in family, faith, education and never quit. So, I never will.”
O’Brien used the word never 5 times during the press conference when being asked about his future with the team. He also said that he has a “good relationship” with Rick Smith. Later, he was asked if he expects a contract extension.
“That’s up to Bob (McNair),” answered O’Brien. “That’s not up to me. I don’t get into the hopeful. I don’t get into that. That’s up to one guy. I have no control over that.”
O’Brien is currently in the 4th year of a 5 year contract with the Texans. He has an all time record of 31 – 31, winning 2 AFC South division titles and a 1 – 2 playoff record.
