As word got around that Houston hired the Baltimore Ravens’ David Culley as its new head coach, news that a source confirmed to Yahoo Sports on Wednesday night, there was no shortage of Texans fans lighting the internet ablaze about the decision.
Culley, at age 65, will become the fourth-oldest coach in the NFL and the oldest first-time head coach in NFL history, according to Elias Sports. He’s the only Black man to be hired in this year’s head coaching cycle. He has never been a coordinator during his 27 years in the league and wasn’t a regular on the interview circuit.
