Texans fire GM Brian Gaine after one season
HOUSTON -- The Houston Texans have fired general manager Brian Gaine, the team announced Friday.
The Texans hired Gaine in January 2018 after former general manager Rick Smith took a leave of absence to help take care of his wife as she battled breast cancer. Gaine was signed to a five-year contract.
"After a thorough evaluation of our football operations, we have decided to relieve Brian Gaine of his duties as general manager," Texans CEO Cal McNair said in a statement.

The Texans finished last season 11-5 to win the AFC South but lost to the Indianapolis Colts in the Wild Card round.
