The Houston Texans kicked off one of their more optimistic moments in a long while.
The Texans’ introduction of David Culley as coach in late Jan. 2021 was over Zoom, which meant there wasn’t any connection due to the situation surrounding the starting quarterback and also how Houston went about the hiring process. Even though there was a little bit of excitement when Lovie Smith was promoted from defensive coordinator to coach in Feb. 2022, it did not carry over once Houston started 0-2-1.
DeMeco Ryans’ introductory presser was different. There was plenty of media present to transcribe the quotes from chairman and CEO Cal McNair, general manager Nick Caserio, and the new coach.
