The Houston Texans entered the NFL as the 32nd franchise in 2002. As of this writing, it's the last time the NFL has had a new franchise enter the league. Before the Texans ever took the field in the 2002 regular season, they had to figure out who was going to lead the charge on the sidelines.
The Texans ultimately hired Dom Capers to be their first-ever head coach and, as we know now, it wasn't a wise decision. Capers had experience coaching an expansion team, having led the Carolina Panthers to a 7-9 record during their expansion season in 1995 and then going 12-4 with that same Panthers squad a year later.
