Houston Texans owner Cal McNair announced coach Bill O'Brien has officially been given the title of general manager, and Jack Easterby has been named executive vice president of football operations.
"This is the way we've been operating for the last eight months. They led us to a 10-win season, another division title and into the divisional round. Our goal is to win championships," McNair told reporters Tuesday.
O'Brien has been serving as the de facto general manager since the team fired Brian Gaine last June. Chris Olsen was given the interim general manager title, but O'Brien had final say over all football-related moves.
