David Culley's tenure as head coach of the Houston Texans has come to an end, according to reports.

The Texans decided to part ways with Culley after they went 4-13 in 2021, according to Mike Garafolo.

After a difficult 2020 season that saw Bill O'Brien get fired after four games and Romeo Crennel take over on an interim basis, the Texans sought to bring some stability to the organization.
Culley was an assistant coach in the NFL for 27 years. The 66-year-old spent the previous two seasons as the assistant head coach, wide receiver coach and passing game coach for the Baltimore Ravens.
The Texans' situation was complicated by quarterback Deshaun Watson requesting a trade.
24 women have accused him of sexual assault. There are 22 civil lawsuits that have been filed against the young man.
Houston kept him out of the game for the entire season because of his legal situation.
Culley did a decent job in his first stint as a head coach, despite how volatile the Texans have been.

Davis Mills had 11 starts and showed some promise. The third-round pick out of Cardinal threw for 2,663 yards, 16 touchdown and 10 interceptions while completing 66.8% of his attempts.
If the Texans want to get out of the cellar in the near future, they need to pick a direction and give their next head coach an opportunity to build. They are going to have the No. 3 overall pick in 2022.
