Caley's Job on the Line? Texans HC Ryans Evaluates Coaching Staff
20 Jan
Summary
- Texans offense struggled with 241 yards and five turnovers in their playoff loss.
- Coach Ryans was noncommittal about offensive coordinator Nick Caley's future.
- Quarterback C.J. Stroud defended Caley, accepting shared responsibility for performance.
The Houston Texans' season ended with a disappointing 28-16 playoff defeat against the Patriots. The team's offense managed only 241 yards and committed five turnovers, raising questions about offensive coordinator Nick Caley's job security. This performance mirrors the situation from the previous year, where offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik was dismissed after a similar playoff exit.
Head coach DeMeco Ryans was vague when asked about Caley's future, stating that he is "evaluating everything." This stance is reminiscent of Ryans' comments following last season before parting ways with Slowik. However, quarterback C.J. Stroud has publicly backed Caley, emphasizing that the team's offensive struggles are a shared burden.
Despite Stroud's support, the availability of high-profile offensive coordinators like Mike McDaniel and Brian Daboll could influence the Texans' decision. If Houston seeks a change, it would not be surprising given the recent playoff performance and potential coaching market.
