Lovie Smith’s winning day was short lived as the Houston Texans have fired the head coach after one year at the helm.
“I'm constantly evaluating our football operation and believe this is the best decision for us at this time. 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.
Smith was promoted to head coach by the Texans after serving as defensive coordinator for one season. He took over for David Culley, who was also fired after just one season. Houston was Smith’s third stop as a head coach in the NFL, having previously led the Chicago Bears from 2004 - 2012 and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2014 - 2015. His combined head coaching record is 92-100-1.
