The Houston Texans, with new head coach DeMeco Ryans, potentially could have had a duo of coordinators from the Arizona Cardinals. Former defensive line coach Matt Burke is the Texan’s new defensive coordinator and Kliff Kingsbury, hired after four seasons as the Cardinals’ head coach, was interviewed to be their new offensive coordinator.
However, Kingsbury will not get the job.
According to NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero, the Texans are hiring Bobby Slowik to be their offensive coordinator.
Kingsbury was added late to the process.
Kingsbury, after getting fired by the Cardinals, initially turned down interviews for OC positions.
The Cardinals are on the hook for his salary for the next five seasons. He doesn’t need to find a job right now.
