Rick Smith was the general manager of the Houston Texans from 2006 to 2017. After his wife was diagnosed with cancer he stepped down in what may or may not have also been a decision Bill O’Brien played apart in. With Smith as the general manager the Houston Texans won the AFC South four times and won three postseason games. He worked well with Gary Kubiak and Wade Phillips to get them the players they needed for their scheme. The embers of his talent carried Houston football after Kubiak’s team fell apart in 2013 and O’Brien took over.
