It’s the second straight season in which the Texans have fired a coach after one year.
HOUSTON — Lovie 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.”
