Houston Texans Fire OC Bobby Slowik Amid Fan Discontent

The Houston Texans have fired offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik after a disappointing season, despite his earlier success and rising status as a coaching candidate. Slowik's tenure included a strong start, but the Texans' offense regressed significantly in 2024, leading to criticism of his strategies and C.J. Stroud's performance. Head coach DeMeco Ryans stated that the decision was made after evaluating the team's challenges and overall offensive performance. Alongside Slowik, the Texans also dismissed offensive line coach Chris Strausser and assistant offensive line coach Cole Popovich. The firing has sparked mixed reactions among fans, with some believing it was a justified move due to the team's struggles despite back-to-back division titles. Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys are looking to fill their offensive coordinator position, with Brian Schottenheimer emerging as a leading candidate after Slowik's dismissal.
