Former Texans President Jamey Rootes dies at 56.
Several months after leaving the Houston Texans in February 2021, Rootes served briefly as CEO of the two major soccer teams in Houston, the Dynamo and the Dash. After leaving those organizations, Rootes made the decision to get involved in education, serving on faculties at Sam Houston State and the University of Houston in their kinesiology departments. More recently, Rootes had joined the faculty at Rice to help start up their sports analytics program.
As the team's first president since 2002, Rootes led a Houston Texans business department that sold out 185 consecutive contests, and oversaw a Houston Texans Foundation that raised tens of millions for numerous local charities. On a more personal level, Rootes always said he saw the McNairs as a sort of surrogate family of his.
