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 Houston Texans have made a major coaching change, announcing the firing of offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik. Slowik, who has been with the team since 2019, has been relieved of his duties after a disappointing season for the Texans offense.
The decision to let Slowik go comes after the Texans finished near the bottom of the league in several offensive categories, including points scored and total yards. 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.
