The Houston Texans have a new head coach. It is not Leslie Frazier.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Texans have decided to hire Baltimore Ravens’ wide receivers coach/ passing game coordinator/ assistant head coach David Culley to be their next bench boss. That means the Bills will still have the services of Frazier as their defensive coordinator (and assistant head coach).
Bills Wire previously reported that Culley might have the upper leg because he has experience working with Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson.
The Texans and Watson have gone through a period of turmoil and some expect that hiring Culley will be a positive in terms of keeping Watson happy. According to the Houston Chronicle, Culley and Watson grew a “good connection” at the 2020 Pro Bowl.
Formerly a member of Sean McDermott’s coaching staff, Culley and Frazier had second interviews with both Frazier and Culley this week.
Earlier this offseason, Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll interviewed for jobs with the Jets and Chargers. Both teams went on to hire others as well.
At this time, it appears the Bills will keep both of their coordinators in 2021.
