Houston Texans Coaching News: Tim Kelly Joins the Tennessee Titans

Bill O’Brien named his former graduate assistant Tim Kelly, the Houston Texans offensive coordinator in 2019. O’Brien rescinded his ability to call plays during their 0-4 streak, and once O’Brien was fired, Kelly was allowed to run the offense again. He did the bare minimum. He utilized a spread passing attack with Deshaun Watson, allowing him to stretch and read the defense and pick his way through it. When nothing was open he’d take off to get positive yards. The thing we had all been clamoring for years for was here, and the Texans had the best passing offense during the O’Brien era, that came after he was fired.
