The leadership structure of the Texans isn't changing, according to coach Bill O'Brien.
O'Brien will continue to operate as the de facto general manager with the Texans not planning to hire a general manager. O'Brien will keep working in tandem with multiple key executives, including Jack Easterby, Matt Bazirgan, Chris Olsen and James Liipfert.
"The way I see it right now, it stays the way it is," O'Brien said Monday during a season-ending press conference at NRG Stadium. "We have a great group of people."
The Texans made a run at New England Patriots executive Nick Caserio after firing general manager Brian Gaine, but briefly drew a tampering charge before it was dropped when they agreed to no longer pursue him.
