Report: Texans to hire Ravens’ Andy Bischoff as tight ends coach

The Houston Texans will be hiring Baltimore Ravens assistant tight ends coach Andy Bischoff as Will Lawing will join Bill O’Brien in Alabama.

New Houston Texans coach David Culley continues to poach from the Baltimore Ravens’ coaching staff as he assembles his own in 2021.

According to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, the Texans will be hiring assistant tight ends coach Andy Bischoff and promoting him to the main job in Houston.

The move comes as the Texans, who originally were going to keep Will Lawing as tight ends coach, will see the 35-year-old depart for the Alabama football program. Former Texans coach Bill O’Brien has been hired as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, and Lawing will be a football analyst on the Crimson Tide’s staff under Nick Saban.

Bischoff coached tight ends for the Chicago Bears from 2013-14. In 2015, Bischoff came over with fired Bears coach Marc Trestman as he took the offensive coordinator job in Baltimore under John Harbaugh. In 2020, Bobby Engram coached the tight ends for the Ravens as Bischoff was the assistant tight ends coach.
