Houston Fires David Culley | Football Outsiders

NFL Wild Card – The original Black Monday Discussion Thread is over 150 comments so let’s start a new one for this weirdly delayed decision by the Houston Texans to fire David Culley as head coach. Why this had to take an extra three days of making the guy twist in the wind, I have no idea. Nobody really wanted this job in the first place and Culley was a surprise candidate so I suppose he’s not a surprise firing but he did about all he could with the talent that the Houston Texans had this year. What on earth is the long-term strategy with this franchise? What on earth would have made Culley the right man to coach this team a year ago but not now?
