HOUSTON -- Although the Houston Texans fired their coach and offensive coordinator after the season, quarterback Davis Mills won’t have to go far to find some continuity from his rookie season.
When the Texans promoted defensive coordinator Lovie Smith to head coach, he promoted Pep Hamilton from passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach to offensive coordinator. After the season, Mills said Hamilton taught him “a ton this year” and helped him “really learn this offense fast and perform it at a high level.”
“I can understand why teams would want him to coach their team, but he’s been great, and I hope he’s back with us next year,” Mills said the end after the season ended.
