The Houston Texans continue to add to their coaching staff under newly hired David Culley while also reshuffling the responsibilities of existing assistants.
According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, the Texans are expected to hire former Illinois linebackers coach Miles Smith, the son of new Texans defensive coordinator Lovie Smith.
The younger Smith coached linebackers under his father from 2019 until the end of their time together in Illinois. In 2018, Smith got his start with the Big Ten program as a cornerbacks coach.
From 2014-15, when the father was the coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the son was defensive quality control for the team.
The Texans will also retain coaches Danny Barrett and Bobby King. Barrett will continue to coach running backs as he has since 2018 while King will move from coaching inside linebackers to coaching the defensive line, a job previously held by former defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver.
