The Texans are hiring David Culley as their new head coach. The Texans were working to finalize a contract Wednesday night with Culley, Baltimore's assistant head coach/passing coordinator who coaches wide receivers, according to two people familiar with the process.
The former Baltimore Ravens assistant was named head coach in January, becoming the fourth head coach in Texans franchise history. He's also the second minority head coach and first Black head coach hired following the 2020 regular season, according to ESPN.
