Lovie Smith is a likable coach and the players love playing for him. However, the reality is the Houston Texans must keep their eyes open for any potential coaching candidates.
Smith, 64, doesn’t figure to be a staple on the Texans’ sideline, not even comparable to Bill O’Brien, who was with Houston from 2014 to four games into the 2020 campaign. If Smith stayed that long, the Big Sandy, Texas, product would be 71 years old.
The former 2005 NFL Coach of the Year probably won’t bomb like David Culley in 2021 and necessitate a dismissal after one season, but it is fair to say Smith is year-to-year in Houston.
