HOUSTON -- Romeo Crennel will not return as the Houston Texans' defensive coordinator, league sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The Texans have promoted defensive line coach Anthony Weaver to replace him, the sources tell Schefter.
Crennel has been on head coach Bill O'Brien's staff in Houston since 2014. He served as defensive coordinator until 2016, and was promoted to assistant head coach in 2017 when Mike Vrabel took over as defensive coordinator. After Vrabel was hired by the Tennessee Titans, Crennel again was Houston's defensive coordinator and assistant head coach.
In 2019, Houston's defense struggled, allowing an average of 388.
