Houston Texans hire Baltimore Ravens' David Culley as head coach, sources say

HOUSTON -- The Houston Texans have hired Baltimore Ravens assistant David Culley to be their next head coach, sources told ESPN, confirming a report by the Houston Chronicle.

Culley, 65, who has spent the past three seasons in Baltimore, just completed his 27nd season as an NFL coach. Along with serving as the team's assistant head coach, Culley was Baltimore's passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach. The Ravens finished the 2020 season ranked last in the NFL in passing.

"It's a great opportunity there," Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said of the Texans' opening in the week leading up to Baltimore's divisional playoff game.
