Ranking the Texans 6 best coaching candidates to replace fired Lovie Smith in 2023

Lovie Smith's third win as the Texans' head coach was his last. Smith, who was promoted from defensive coordinator to replace David Culley for the 2022 NFL season, was fired after only one year at the helm just like Culley. Under Smith, Houston Zach Duke Jersey went 3-13-1, finishing last in the AFC South and posting the conference's worst record. That was a half-game worse than Culley's 4-13 third-place mark from 2021. Despite the Texans rallying to beat the Colts on Sunday, it was too little, too late to save Smith's job. Now owner Cal McNair will conduct another head coaching search. MORE: Here's looking at the eight best candidates for the job: 1. Jerod Mayo, linebackers coach, Patriots (age: 38) General manager Nick Caserio has strong Patriots ties as that team's former director of player personnel working with Bill Belichick. Mayo is a well-respected rising star and built to be a good influence on a young team as a former player. 2. DeMeco Ryans, defensive coordinator, 49ers (age: 38) Should the Texans want to think about another appealing defensive-minded hire, they could to try to convince their former two-time Pro Bowl linebacker to return to Houston. Ryans is a dynamic motivator with high energy the way his predece sor Robert Saleh was before he became the Jets' head coach. MORE: (Getty Images) 3. Eric Bieniemy, offensive coordinator, Chiefs (age: 53) Bieniemy is overdue for a Jonathan Schoop Jersey coaching opportunity after his great work with Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes. Would this be the team to give him a shot to help a young highly drafted franchise QB? 4. Kliff Kingsbury, head coach, Cardinals (age: 43) Kingsbury, if let go by Arizona after four seasons on Monday, would have immediate appeal given his past New England QB connection and that he first rose to offensive play-calling succe s while at the University of Houston. The native Texan did well early attached to the drafting of Kyler Murray. (Getty Images) 5. Shane Steichen, offensive coordinator, Eagles (age: 37) Steichen has done a great job helping Jalen Hurts become a complete quarterback under Nick Sirianni. He could have a similar direct influence on the high first-round quarterback, either another versatile Alabama product (Bryce Young) or a prolific pocket pa ser (C.J. Stroud). 6. Joe Judge, quarterbacks coach, Patriots (age: 41) Here comes Judge Justin Morneau Jersey again? Caserio might be the man to give Judge a second chance (over Matt Patricia) after the big whiff in a wrong Giants situation.
