The Texans hired Rams assistant coach Nick Caley as their new offensive coordinator. Caley, who previously worked with New England and Los Angeles, replaces Bobby Slowik after a disappointing 2024 campaign. He will work to strengthen Houston's offense under head coach DeMeco Ryans.
The Houston Texans have hired Nick Caley as their new offensive coordinator, replacing Bobby Slowik after a disappointing 2024 campaign. The decision comes as the Texans look to address offensive inconsistencies, particularly in the wake of an underwhelming second season for quarterback C.J. Stroud.
Slowik’s firing followed a season marked by numerous injuries to key receivers and a struggling offensive line. Despite qualifying for the postseason, the Texans' offense faltered in the Divisional Round, scoring just 14 points in a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, the eventual AFC champions.
Caley, 42, brings a wealth of experience to Houston after spending years as an assistant coach in New England, where he earned two Super Bowl rings under Bill Belichick. He has spent the last two seasons in Los Angeles with the Rams, serving as the tight ends coach and pass game coordinator in 2024 under Sean McVay.
With a promising young quarterback in Stroud, who has developed strong chemistry with Nico Collins and Dalton Schultz, Caley will have several key pieces to build around. However, the Texans will face challenges this offseason, including Stefon Diggs's free agency and Tank Dell's recovery from a serious knee injury. Strengthening the offensive line will also be a top priority, especially with Laremy Tunsil anchoring the left tackle position.
As head coach DeMeco Ryans continues to build his defense, Caley’s mission will be to develop an offense that complements that effort and puts the Texans back on the path to playoff contention.
