Lovie Smith believes in the Houston Texans.
That is why he gave his honest input to general manager Nick Caserio throughout the month-long coaching search and also met with the McNair family a few times during the process. The 2021 defensive coordinator and associate head coach wanted what was best for the team.
When the Texans approached Smith about a promotion to the big chair, the 63-year-old from Big Sandy High School off Interstate 20 in East Texas couldn’t pass up the opportunity.
