Houston Texans fired Lovie Smith, one of two Black head coaches hired last offseason, hours after he orchestrated a comeback in Indianapolis that gave the team its third victory this season but kept the franchise from having the top pick in the NFL draft.
The Texans will join the three teams that dismissed their coaches during the regular season — the Carolina Panthers, the Colts and the Denver Broncos — in searching for new head coaches in the coming weeks. Smith was ousted after only one season in which the Texans had a record of 3-13-1.
“I’m constantly evaluating our football operation and believe this is the best decision for us at this time,” Texans General Manager Nick Caserio said. “It is my responsibility to build a comprehensive and competitive program that can sustain success over a long period of time. We aren’t there right now, however, with the support of the McNair family and the resources available to us, I’m confident in the direction of our football program moving forward.
