Hi[edit]

Just to let you know, I recently created the same page at Bill O'Brien (football). But when I saw this page I copied the page I created to this one and redirected Bill O'Brien (football) here. Black Harry (Highlights|Contribs) 03:56, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism[edit]

This page was vandalized on January 6. I'll try to get it back to as close to what it was originally. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pelino2214 (talk • contribs) 03:54, 7 January 2012 (UTC) . (----)[reply]

Linking Discussion[edit]

I'm hoping to get some sort of consensus on this...in the "Response to sanctions" section, there's a link that currently points to Penn State child sex abuse scandal. An IP editor, in good faith, changed it to Jerry Sandusky/Second Mile sex abuse scandal, which redirects to the prior page. Personally, I feel that the first link is a better description and is more neutral, but the IP disagrees, therefore I thought I'd start a discussion using the Bold, revert, discuss model. Thanks!

Houston Texans[edit]

It appears ESPNs article has changed (http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/10231285/bill-obrien-hired-new-coach-houston-texans). It originally said it was official today. Dabullzrule (talk) 17:44, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
