After finishing 2-14 in the worst division in the NFL, the Houston Texans were coach less and had lots of questions on offense. The first step in recovering from one of the worst stretches in football history was to hire a head coach.
Last year, Lovie Smith was wildly considered as the top available head coach but Bob McNair decided to sign an underdog as the next Texans head coach. Bill O’Brien had a tremendous X’s and O’s background with the New England Patriots but also had the leadership by turning around a troubled Penn State football program after the Sandusky scandal.
