Texans HC DeMeco Ryans Makes Final Decision on Replacing OC After CJ Stroud Seemingly Shaded Nick Caley After Loss

Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans confirmed he will not replace offensive coordinator Nick Caley or strip his play-calling duties despite an 0-3 start to the season. The decision follows a 19-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, after which quarterback CJ Stroud criticized the offense's conservative play and called for a more aggressive approach.

Ryans defended Caley, noting his willingness to adapt schemes as Houston struggles with a stagnant run game and pass protection issues. The coach referenced the Texans' recovery from an 0-3 start last season to reach the Divisional Round, maintaining full confidence in his staff ahead of their Week 4 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.
