HOUSTON -- Texans head coach Bill O'Brien will return next season.
After the Texans' 27-14 victory over the Oakland Raiders in the opening-round of the playoffs, owner Bob McNair said he never considered firing O'Brien even if Houston had lost, despite reports speculating otherwise.
"There's nothing to it," McNair said. "I got a chuckle out of it. I'm not going to fire him. We're already talking about next year."
O'Brien said he plans to stay for at least the remainder of his five-year contract.
"I have two years left on my contract," O'Brien said.
