INDIANAPOLIS -- Houston Texans coach Lovie Smith expects to return in 2023 after finishing 3-13-1 in his first season.
The Texans finished their season with a win after beating the Indianapolis Colts 32-31 in Week 18 and played competitively in four of their last five games.
"We understand the totality of the season on what's going on," Smith said postgame. "Do I expect to be back? Yes, I expect to be back."
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported that Smith "could be on shaky ground" back on Dec. 14 when the Texans were 1-11-1.
