There was a serious candidate in Brian Flores.<\/p>\n<p>Nobody considered Lovie Smith. When he suddenly emerged as the leading candidate, it was strange.<\/p>\n<p>It was also a relationship that was probably doomed from the start. The Texans fired Smith on Sunday night, team owner Cal McNair announced. The <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> was first reported by NFL Network&#8217;s Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo.<\/p>\n<p>Smith is the second straight coach to last just one season with the Texans. If you count Romeo Crennel, who was the interim for 12 <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s in 2020 after Bill O&#8217;Brien was fired, the next coach the Texans hire will be their fifth in four seasons.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lovie_Smith_fired_after_losing_season\"><\/span>Lovie Smith fired after losing season<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Texans were reportedly down to three candidates last offseason: McCown, Flores and Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon. Then Flores filed a racial discrimination lawsuit against the NFL.<\/p>\n<p>The Texans seemed set to hire McCown, despite his lack of experience. After the lawsuit, the Texans <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/did-brian-flores-lawsuit-influence-032351576.html?src=rss\" data-ylk=\"slk:pivoted to Smith;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link rapid-noclick-resp yahoo-link\">pivoted to Smith<\/a>. It got messy. Flores said, through his lawyers, that he was <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/brian-flores-lawyers-release-statement-143331123.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:passed over due to the lawsuit;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link rapid-noclick-resp yahoo-link\">passed over due to the lawsuit<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It left Smith in a strange spot. He was the defensive coordinator for a 4-13 Texans team in 2021 that gave up the second-most yards in the NFL. The Texans fired David Culley after one season, but hired the coordinator of a bad defense. Smith had coached the University of Illinois, but hadn&#8217;t been a head coach in the NFL since 2015 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.<\/p>\n<p>It was an awkward, unexpected hire and not a great fit. The Texans were expected to be bad, and they were. And Smith didn&#8217;t last in Houston to coach a second season.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"caas-figure\">\n<div class=\"caas-figure-with-pb\" style=\"max-height: 827px\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"caas-img-container caas-img-loader\" style=\"padding-bottom:67%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"caas-img caas-lazy has-preview\" alt=\"Houston Texans head coach Lovie Smith lasted just one season with the team.

The 49ers had three straight one-and-done coaches from 1976-78 and then had back-to-back one-year coaches in 2015-16. The 49ers made a Super Bowl not long after each of those bad stretches, so it&#8217;s not like the Texans can&#8217;t rebound quickly. But Houston is viewed as a disorganized franchise and firing Smith a year after he was a strange hire to begin with isn&#8217;t the best look.<\/p>\n<p>Houston is starting to dig out from bad trades that cost it draft picks and other poor decisions, and a new head coach can have a practically clean slate to rebuild. That might <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>eal to someone, but Houston isn&#8217;t seen as a stable franchise. It could be a tough sell.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, the Texans have to hope that their next hire lasts more than a season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
