The Houston Texans’ coaching search appeared that it was going to end with a candidate younger than 45 years old.
The Texans were taking a look at Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon, Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell, and even former NFL quarterback Josh McCown, who had no coaching experience.
Instead the Texans transitioned from 66-year-old David Culley to 63-year-old Lovie Smith, who was the defensive coordinator and associate head coach last year.
