The Houston Texans have fired second-year offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik, league sources confirmed to The Athletic. The move comes six days after the team’s AFC divisional round loss — its second in as many seasons — to the Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday.

Now, one year after Slowik had emerged as a head coaching candidate interviewing with the Washington Commanders, Atlanta Falcons, Seattle Seahawks, Tennessee Titans and Carolina Panthers and not landing any offers only to return to the Texans on an upgraded contract with a much higher salary, he’s out.
