The Texans, which won the AFC South last year and had a three-touchdown lead over the Chiefs in the playoffs before losing, have started 2020 with an 0-4 record.
The Houston Texans have fired head coach Bill O’Brien, effective immediately, after the team’s 31-23 loss at home to the Minnesota Vikings just one day earlier. O’Brien was also the team’s general manager. The Texans will likely name Romeo Crennel as the interim coach, according to ESPN’s Dan Graziano. The Texans, which won the AFC South last year, have started 2020 with an 0-4 record. This comes with high expectations with a healthy J.J. Watt on defense and a contract extension for quarterback DeShaun Watson. The team started 0-2 by facing the two best teams in the entire league—the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens. The Texans then lost at the Pittsburgh Steelers, and then to the winless Vikings.
