There have been four head coaches of the Houston Texans, a professional American football team based in Houston, Texas. The Texans play in the South Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). In 2002, the Texans entered the NFL as an expansion team, with Dom Capers (2002–05) as the team's first head coach. Capers was selected, in part, due to his success in having led the expansion Carolina Panthers to the playoffs in just their second season in the league. After three straight seasons of consistent improvement, the Texans took a major step backward in 2005 with a 2–14 finish. At the end of the season, Capers was fired and replaced with Gary Kubiak (2006–2013), then the offensive coordinator for the Denver Broncos. Kubiak, a Houston native and alumnus of nearby Texas A&M, would eventually become the longest-tenured head coach in franchise history, coaching 125 games and posting a 61–64 record. Kubiak earned several distinctions as head coach, having led the Texans to their first non-losing season (2007), their first winning season (2009), and their first division title, playoff appearance, and playoff win (2011). In both 2011 and 2012, the Texans won the AFC South and the first game of the playoffs but lost the divisional game the following week. In 2013, the Texans started the season 2–0, but then lost their next 11 games. Kubiak was fired mid-season, on December 6, 2013〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/houston-texans-fire-coach-gary-kubiak-120613 )〕 and was replaced on an interim basis by defensive coordinator Wade Phillips (2013, 3 games). During the 2013 off-season, Bill O'Brien (2014–present) was hired to be the Texans' next head coach.〔http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/texans/2013/12/31/houston-texans-agree-bill-obrien-head-coach-penn-state/4273287/〕 O'Brien had previously served as head coach at Penn State and as offensive coordinator under Bill Belichick with the New England Patriots. O'Brien currently serves as both the Texans' head coach and offensive coordinator. ==Key== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Houston Texans head coaches」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
