After assuming the role of general manager in the offseason, O'Brien received almost universal criticism when he shipped superstar receiver DeAndre Hopkins to Arizona for running back David Johnson and draft picks.
The pressure on O'Brien only intensified as the Texans limped out to the terrible start and Johnson struggled. Their running game was the worst in the NFL and the defense allowed the most yards in the league.
As for social media, many frustrated fans rejoiced and even made Bill O'Brien a trending topic on Twitter.
After reports surfaced in the afternoon, the Texans offered a statement confirming O'Brien was let go and Romeo Crennel, the team's assistant head coach, was appointed as the interim head coach.
