Since becoming a franchise in 2002 the Houston Texans have showed some patience in allowing their coaches to build a roster and have stuck with them through tough times. Because of their patience there have only been three full-time head coaches and one interim coach in their 13-years of existence.
The first coach was Dom Capers and Houston gave him four years despite the fact that he had a winning percentage of only 28.1%. With a record of 18-46, Capers was given every opportunity to be a success, but he was never able to build a consistently competitive team.
