Lovie Smith is out as Houston Texans head coach.
According to ESPN.com, the Texans have fired Smith following a 3-13-1 campaign.
Smith, who signed a four-year deal last offseason, is the second straight Texans coach to be fired after one year on the job.
“We are grateful for [Smith’s] leadership and character, and we wish him the best moving forward,” said Texans CEO Cal McNair. “While we understand the results have not been what he had hoped for, we are committed to building a program that produces long-term, sustainable success.”
Smith’s firing comes after the Texans won their final regular season game, edging the Indianapolis Colts 32-31 en route to earning the No.
