The Houston Texans’ strategy with the 2022 coaching hire was to implement as much change as possible without sacrificing any of the continuity and cohesion forged in the 2021 campaign.
After a month-long coaching search following the firing of David Culley after one season, Houston went in-house with the promotion of defensive coordinator and associate head coach Lovie Smith to the big role.
Linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill says nothing has changed in terms of Smith’s personality and demeanor now that he has added responsibility.
