Well, Wade Phillips won’t get the chance to be the Texans defensive coordinator next year. And none of the guys he worked with are hanging around either.

According to Alex Marvez of FOX Sports, new Texans coach Bill O’Brien met with the existing Texans staff and fired them all, and will name Romeo Crennel as his defensive coordinator.

The 66-year-old Crennel was out of football this season after being fired by the Chiefs with two years left on his contract. That will allow the Texans to stay with the 3-4 defense they’re already running.

The clean house sets the stage for the Texans staff to have a very Bostonian vibe, as O’Brien will tap into his base of former Patriots co-workers for help.

After putting up what he did his last yr in KC, I'd stay away from the game personally. Good to see he getting another shot at coaching tho

I liked Wade :manny:

Crennel seems to know his shyt. Has 2 rings as a D. Coordinator, but runs a similar scheme to Wade. And his HC tenures have been garbage as fukk. Is this really an upgrade brehs?

houston.
I liked Wade too and it sucks to see him go after what he has been going through this season with the injuries and stuff. I have no problems with hiring Crennel though. Good to see him back in the NFL.
