 The Houston Texans have fired head coach David Culley one season after he directed the league's worst defense.


The Houston Texans have fired head coach David Culley, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo and Tom Pelissero report. Culley was hired last year when the team parted ways with Bill O'Brien. Culley finished the season on a 10-game losing streak, compiling a 4-12 record.
 When Culley came to Houston in 2021, he took command of a team in disarray. The Texan’s previous season had ended with an abysmal 4-12 record and the 
After a disappointing 9-7 finish in 2018, the Texans decided to part ways with coach Bill O'Brien, who is now the head coach of the Raiders. Texans general manager Nick Caserio will now look for his second coach in as many seasons and the franchise's third head coach over the last three years.
This emphasizes the details of Caserio′s statement, specifically mentioning David Culley and Tim Kelly by name. This is something you would see as a result of new media. Also mentioned is the "long-term direction" and the "philosophical differences", which clarify that this was not a completely sudden decision. This choice of tone confirms the many key insights into Caserio′s thinking in how he dealt with coaching changes
Kelly was fired on Thursday, Rapoport reported , after he had been told by owner Jerry Jones that changes would be made to his offensive coaching staff, including the firing of former San Francisco 49ers head coach Mike Singletary.
The Houston Texans are having a hard time moving on from their past, so much so that the franchise is paying $22 million for one season's work. Stephen Jones, the son of Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones, who has been rumored to at least have some input into his father's decision making in recent years, was the man responsible for Culley's ousting.
 Culley joined Flores and Tomlin as the only other head coach to have been fired this season. He lasted less than a month in his position, lasting for a total of 11 matches.

 New York Jets coach Adam Gase didn't hesitate to accept blame for a fourth-down decision that cost the team a win.  It all started when Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez hit receiver Santonio Holmes for a 40-yard touchdown with 9 minutes 53 seconds remaining to give New York a 24-17 lead over the Buccaneers. But instead of spiking the ball to stop the clock, offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer called for a running play that left more than four minutes on the clock. When Schottenheimer called timeout after Holmes scored, he tried to explain his actions. The Jets' fourth-quarter decision to not have quarterback Sam Darnold run the play on fourth-and-2 against the Patriots came from a directive by offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur that Darnold should throw the ball instead of run on the play. But LaFleur "looked around and saw four guys in formation," he said in a news conference Monday, referring to safety Duron Harmon, center David Andrews and both tackles. "

 Drew Lock is focusing on the game, not his future with the Broncos. For a veteran making his third consecutive start at quarterback, Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock has no expectations for himself in Saturday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Lock has struggled in his two starts, averaging a respectable but unspectacular 6.4 yards per attempt. And for all of the criticism that some of his decisions on Sunday drew—namely, throwing a fade to a double-covered Tyrell Williams down 20-0 late—those came against an all-pro interior that only allowed 115 rushing yards in total, 49 yards from scrimmage from Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman combined and still recorded three sacks. Lock played well enough to win, and if the Broncos exploit their advantages agains. Broncos rookie QB Drew Lock drew favorable comparisons to fellow former Missouri standout and current Chiefs starter Patrick Mahomes. But the 2019 second-round pick was the clear third rival to Chad Kelly for the No. 2 r
