Texans to hire Nick Caley as offensive coordinator
The Texans have landed their new offensive coordinator.
NFL Media reports that they will be adding Nick Caley to DeMeco Ryans’s staff for the 2025 season. Bobby Slowik had the job for the last two seasons and won compliments for his work in 2023, but he was let go after a less impressive showing in 2024.
Caley drew interest from multiple teams over the last month and he becomes the latest offensive assistant to Sean McVay to move up the coaching ladder. Caley was the tight ends coach and pass game coordinator for the Rams and he spent seven years on Bill Belichick’s staff before moving to Los Angeles in 2023.
If he can push quarterback C.J. Stroud and the rest of the Houston offense to new heights, Caley may be in contention to move up another rung in the near future.
According to sources close to the team, the Houston Texans are set to hire Nick Caley as their new offensive coordinator. Caley, who previously served as the New England Patriots’ tight ends coach, is known for his innovative offensive schemes and ability to develop young talent.The Texans are hoping that Caley can help revitalize their struggling offense and maximize the potential of star quarterback Deshaun Watson. With Caley at the helm, the team is expected to see a significant improvement in their offensive production and efficiency.
Fans are excited to see what Caley can bring to the table and are hopeful that his hiring will lead to a successful season for the Texans. Stay tuned for more updates as the team prepares for the upcoming season with their new offensive coordinator at the helm.

Report: Texans interview Bucs QBs coach Thad Lewis
Buccaneers quarterbacks coach Thad Lewis has interviewed for the Texans’ offensive coordinator job, Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports.
Lewis received several requests for offensive coordinator interviews but declined the others, per Rapoport.
Lewis and DeMeco Ryans were teammates with the 2015 Eagles.
Lewis spent time with eight teams over eight seasons in his playing career as a quarterback. Immediately after retiring as a player, Lewis began coaching.
He spent two seasons at UCLA (2018-19) as an offensive analyst under Chip Kelly before interning with the Bucs in 2020.
Lewis was the assistant wide receivers coach in Tampa Bay in 2021-22 before a promotion to quarterbacks coach in 2023.
The Texans are seeking to replace Bobby Slowik, who was fired last week, and the presence of franchise quarterback C.J. Stroud makes the job an attractive one.
The Houston Texans have reportedly interviewed Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterbacks coach Thad Lewis for their vacant head coaching position.Lewis, who has been with the Buccaneers since 2019, has worked closely with star quarterback Tom Brady and played a key role in his success with the team. Before joining the Buccaneers, Lewis had stints as a quarterbacks coach with the Buffalo Bills and as an offensive assistant with the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Texans are in the market for a new head coach after parting ways with David Culley following just one season. Lewis is seen as a rising star in the coaching ranks and his work with Brady has garnered attention around the league.
It remains to be seen if Lewis will ultimately land the Texans head coaching job, but his interview is a sign of the team’s interest in bringing in a fresh perspective to lead the team. Stay tuned for more updates on the Texans’ coaching search.

Sources — Texans fire Bobby Slowik after 2 seasons as OC
-
DJ Bien-Aime
HOUSTON – The Texans have fired offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik after two years in Houston, a source told ESPN on Friday. Houston also fired offensive line coach Chris Strausser and assistant offensive line coach Cole Popovich, according to sources, who added that a decision on the remainder of the offensive staff will be made when the team hires a new offensive coordinator.
The Texans won the AFC South (10-7) in 2024 and reached the divisional round for the second consecutive season, but the offense struggled throughout the year. The Monday after the season concluded coach DeMeco Ryans said he wanted to take a week to evaluate the staff and when asked about Slowik’s performance he was short and didn’t give a ringing endorsement.
“I think overall with Bobby, I saw some growth,” Ryans said. “I saw some improvement throughout the year.”
Ryans also mentioned how the Texans offense needed to “improve” after a disappointing season as the unit ranked 18th in scoring (22.1) and 16th in total offense (329 yards per game). The most alarming aspect of the offense was pass protection. Quarterback C.J. Stroud took a beating of 52 sacks, second-most, and was pressured on 38.6% of his drop back, third-most according to Next Gen Stats.
What made Stroud’s pressure rate of 38.6% worse was that the time to pressure rate was 2.59, the seventh fastest according to NGS. The pass protection struggled with defensive twists and stunts that opposing defenses threw at them leading to 52 unblocked pressures, second-most.
As a result, Stroud regressed statistically from a strong rookie year. He finished 15th in passing yards (3,727) and tied for 15th in passing touchdowns (20) after having 4,108 yards (eighth in the NFL) with 23 touchdowns (13th) in Year 1 in two less games. And that’s with having Pro Bowl teammates in left tackle Laremy Tunsil, running back Joe Mixon and wideout Nico Collins.
Beyond Stroud, the Texans’ offense struggled for large stretches of the year. The second halves were a massive issue for the offense as they averaged a league-low 7.5 points per second half. From Week 7 to Week 12 the Texans offense did not score an offensive touchdown.
Coming into 2024, there were high hopes for the Texans’ offense with the Pro Bowl additions of wideout Stefon Diggs and Mixon. Diggs tore his ACL in Week 8 against the Indianapolis Colts but even with Mixon rushing for 1,018 yards, the offense always felt challenged, especially in key situations. They were 17th in third downs (38.9) and 28th in red zone scoring (48.4)
“Overall, offensively, it wasn’t where we wanted to be,” Ryans said. “There were challenges throughout the year, that is every year. You have challenges, you have ups and downs where you try to figure out the course, who we have and how to make it work. We have to improve.”
Slowik was Ryans’ first offensive hire in 2023 after both spent six years together with the San Francisco 49ers. In their first season together, Houston offensively thrived highlighted by Stroud becoming the fifth rookie to pass for 4,000 yards in a season and led the league in passing yards per game (274) and touchdown to interception ratio (23:5), something only quarterback Joe Montana and Tom Brady have accomplished.
The Houston Texans have made the decision to part ways with offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik after just two seasons with the team. Sources close to the organization have confirmed that Slowik has been relieved of his duties following a disappointing season that saw the Texans finish with a 4-13 record.Slowik was hired by the Texans in 2020 to help revamp the team’s offense, but the results have been less than stellar. The Texans ranked near the bottom of the league in several offensive categories, including total yards per game and points scored.
It is unclear at this time who will replace Slowik as the team’s offensive coordinator, but the organization is expected to begin the search for a new coach immediately.
Stay tuned for more updates as this story develops.

Texans fire Bobby Slowik: Houston offensive coordinator out as C.J. Stroud’s play-caller after two seasons
![getty-bobby-slowik-texans.jpg]()
The Houston Texans won the AFC South for the second consecutive season with a second consecutive 10-7 record, but the 2024 season felt very different from the 2023 campaign. The Texans are making some big changes heading into the offseason, as they have fired offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik, according to CBS Sports lead NFL insider Jonathan Jones.
Slowik just wrapped up his second season as the offensive play-caller for the Texans after spending six seasons with the San Francisco 49ers. In 2023, Slowik was viewed as a major reason why rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud had a historic campaign with 23 passing touchdowns and just five interceptions while Houston went from worst-to-first in the division. The Texans offense ranked No. 12 in total yards (342.4 yards per game) and No. 13 in points per game (22.2) in 2023, but took a step backwards in 2024, ranking No. 22 in yards (319.7 yards per game) and No. 19 in scoring (21.9 points per game).
This is a developing story.
The Houston Texans have made a major coaching change, announcing the firing of offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik. Slowik, who had been with the team for two seasons, was relieved of his duties following a disappointing season.One of the driving factors behind the decision to part ways with Slowik was the team’s struggles on offense, particularly in the passing game. Despite having talented quarterback C.J. Stroud at the helm, the Texans’ offense struggled to find consistency and put up points on the board.
Slowik, who was brought in to help develop Stroud and maximize the team’s offensive potential, ultimately fell short of expectations. The decision to move on from Slowik comes as the Texans look to revamp their coaching staff and make changes to improve their performance on the field.
It remains to be seen who will step in as the new offensive coordinator for the Texans, but the team will be looking for someone who can help unlock the full potential of Stroud and lead the offense to success in the upcoming season. Stay tuned for updates as the Texans continue their search for a new offensive play-caller.

Texans fire offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik
The Texans have made a significant change to their coaching staff.
Houston has fired offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik, according to multiple reports.
Slowik, 37, was praised for his work with quarterback C.J. Stroud during the 2023 season, helping the No. 2 overall pick of the draft earn AP offensive rookie of the year. But Stroud more than doubled his interceptions in 2024 and his passing numbers dipped significantly, despite playing in two fewer games. Houston finished at No. 19 in points scored and No. 22 in total yards in 2024 after being No. 13 and No. 12 in the same categories the previous season.
Slowik was previously alongside Houston head coach DeMeco Ryans with the 49ers. Slowik was hired in Kyle Shanahan’s first season with San Francisco, serving as a defensive quality control coach before moving over to become an offensive assistant in 2019. He became the team’s offensive passing game coordinator in 2022 before heading to Houston with Ryans in 2023.
Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, offensive line coach Chris Strausser has also been fired after two seasons with the club.
The Texans will have a significant offensive overhaul for Stroud’s third season in 2025.

The team struggled to consistently move the ball and put points on the board, leading to a 4-13 record and missing the playoffs for the fifth straight season.
Head coach David Culley expressed his gratitude for Slowik’s contributions to the team but ultimately felt a change was necessary to improve the offense’s performance. The Texans will now begin the search for a new offensive coordinator to lead the team in the upcoming season.
Fans and analysts alike will be eagerly awaiting news of who will take over the offensive coordinator role and how they plan to revamp the struggling Texans offense. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.

Texans OL Coach Transition: Chris Strausser Not Returning in 2025
The Texans‘ offensive line coach Chris Strausser is likely to exit the team in 2025, though no official announcement has been made. His potential replacement could be assistant OL coach Cole Popovich. Meanwhile, the status of offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik remains uncertain, with head coach DeMeco Ryans indicating mixed feelings about Slowik’s performance this season. Support from players, including QB C.J. Stroud, contrasts Ryans’ acknowledgment that offensive improvements are necessary. Ryans is currently deliberating on his coaching staff for next year.
By the Numbers
- The Texans’ offense ranked No. 22 in total yards in 2024.
- Bobby Slowik’s offense scored an average of No. 19 in total points during the same period.
Yes, But
While there is support for Slowik from key players, his overall effectiveness as offensive coordinator has been scrutinized, suggesting a potential divide in staff satisfaction. Ryans’ cautious approach to addressing potential coaching changes indicates a need for careful evaluation.
State of Play
- Chris Strausser’s career includes over 25 years in coaching at various collegiate levels and key roles in the NFL since 2017.
- Bobby Slowik was given a new contract after his first season, but his future with the Texans is under review.
What’s Next
Expect announcements regarding coaching staff decisions post-review by DeMeco Ryans. If Strausser officially departs, Popovich could step into the role, while Slowik’s continuation will likely depend on adjustments to the offense following a lackluster season.
Bottom Line
The Texans are at a crossroads with their coaching staff, necessitating critical evaluations of offensive performance to align with player support and team goals. Key decisions made in the upcoming weeks could shape the franchise’s direction moving into the 2025 season.
The Houston Texans are set to make a change on their coaching staff for the upcoming 2025 season, as offensive line coach Chris Strausser will not be returning to the team.Strausser, who has been with the Texans since 2020, played a key role in developing the team’s offensive line over the past few years. Under his guidance, the unit made significant improvements and became one of the strengths of the team.
However, with the team looking to make some changes and bring in new faces for the upcoming season, the decision was made to part ways with Strausser.
It will be interesting to see who the Texans bring in to replace Strausser and how they will continue to develop their offensive line moving forward. Stay tuned for more updates on this coaching transition.
