When the Houston Texans hired David Culley, they wanted a run through a brick wall head coach, not a X’s and O’s head coach. They got exactly that. Culley, and his wild and sopping tongue, mouth stuffed with double bubble, loved his players, loved his job, and kept morale high and the players working hard in a lost and stagnate season.
He couldn’t make the simplest ingame decisions though, like when to punt, when to go for it, when to kick field goals, and even turned down a penalty to punt in Cleveland. The Texans scheme was categorized by Tim Kelly running into heavy boxes, throwing screens to nowhere, and needing desperation to open the offense up, and Lovie Smith’s cover two defense failing, before adjusting and eventually running a NFL offense.
