Now, one year after Slowik had emerged as a head coaching candidate interviewing with the Washington Commanders, Atlanta Falcons, Seattle Seahawks, Tennessee Titans and Carolina Panthers and not landing any offers only to return to the Texans on an upgraded contract with a much higher salary, he’s out.

After a week of review, the Houston Texans have decided to fire offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik, a person with knowledge of the decision told the Chronicle. Offensive line coach Chris Strausser is also out.
