Lovie Smith has been fired as coach of the Houston Texans on Sunday night after just one season where the team went 3-13-1.
Houston Texans head coach Lovie Smith observes a moment of silence with Texans and Indianapolis Colts players before their NFL football game in support of Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin, Sunday, Jan. 8, 2023, in Indianapolis. – Lovie Smith was fired as coach of the Houston Texans on Sunday night after just one season in which the team went 3-13-1.
The Texans had the league’s worst record for most of the season, but won two of their last three games, capped by Sunday’s win over the Colts that cost the team the No. 1 overall pick in next year’s draft. The 32-31 victory over Indianapolis gave Chicago the top pick and left Houston to choose second in April’s draft.
Texans owner Cal McNair said in a statement that he and Caserio informed Smith of the move Sunday night and thanked him for his “contributions over the last two seasons.”
