Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud will be working with a new offensive coordinator after Bobby Slowik was fired two seasons into his tenure.
On Monday, Lance Zierlein of ESPN 97.5 recalled a story in which Stroud and Slowik got into a "contentious" confrontation at a 2023 pre-draft meeting regarding terminology, to the point where the ex-Ohio State star told another team that his sitdown with the Texans was "terrible."
In essence, the two were talking X's and O's, and Stroud referred to some terms by how they called things at Ohio State.
