The Houston Texans head coach fired David Culley after a 4-13 season on the job.

The Houston Texas is the eighth NFL team to jump on the head coaching carousel, as they fired former head coach David Culley after a 4-13 season at the helm on Thursday afternoon.

Admittedly, Culley was never even given a real chance. The full-time team coach feels like a potential candidate for either head coach role. Despite Houston’s lack of talent, the Texans overtrained to even get four wins. There is some debate that this team won’t even be able to win a game last season. Culley earns more than this.

Now that the Texans have decided to change, here are three candidates to replace Culley.

Brian Daboll

Attack Coordinator Buffalo Bills

Buffalo Bills Offensive coordinator Brian Daboll will almost certainly get his first head coaching opportunity this season. He was on the training carousel two cycles ago. While Buffalo’s late playoffs largely knocked him out of last year’s mix, Daboll is likely to end up with some familiar faces in Houston from New England Patriots day.

Daboll worked with Nick Caserio and Jack Easterby at Foxborough. Although he will have more opportunities than the one in Houston (Chicago and Miami), Daboll has shown he can raise a talented midfielder but a rudimentary one. Davis Mills may have been a Stanford third-round pick, but he’s a five-star after leaving high school for a reason. Daboll has a point.

If Daboll believes Mills has more of an edge over Justin Fields or Tua Tagovailoa at the NFL level, he could head to Houston to work with Caserio and Easterby again.
