Texans fire coach after just one season for second straight year
ovie Smith fought until the bitter end to help the Houston Texans to a win in the finale of a dismal season, with his fate likely already sealed.Smith was fired as coach of the Texans on Sunday night after just one season in which the team went 3-13-1.
“We understand the totality of the season,” he said. “Do I expect to be back? Yeah, I expect to be back, absolutely.” Culley, who is also Black, spent more than 40 years as a college and NFL assistant before being hired to coach the Texans. Robert Griffin III, the second overall pick of the 2012 draft who led Washington to a division title, tweeted: “The Houston Texans have fired Lovie Smith after 1 year. Using 2 Black Head Coaches to tank and then firing them after 1 year shouldn’t sit right with anyone.”
Smith was promoted to head coach after serving as the team’s defensive co-ordinator for one season. The 2022 season was his 12th as a head coach, and he has a 92-100-1 record in his career that included nine seasons with the Bears and two with Tampa Bay.
