The Houston Texans have found their next offensive coordinator: The Texans announced Monday that they have hired Nick Caley, the tight ends coach and pass game coordinator for the Los Angeles Rams, to lead Houston’s offense.
Caley replaces former Texans OC Bobby Slowik, who was unexpectedly fired by Houston in January after two seasons. The Texans fired offensive line coach Chris Strausser alongside Slowik, despite making the postseason. Houston lost 23-14 to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC divisional round, five days before Slowik was fired.
Caley, 42, has spent the past two seasons working under Sean McVay, starting as tight ends coach and gaining the additional responsibility of the pass game this past year. Prior to being in Los Angeles, Caley spent eight years in various offensive coaching roles with the New England Patriots.
Caley will now join head coach DeMeco Ryans’ staff in the hope of making the Texans’ offensive production more consistent next season. Caley will work alongside quarterback C.J. Stroud, who will be entering his third year in the league, and two of Houston’s Pro Bowlers, running back Joe Mixon and wide receiver Nico Collins.
