The Houston Texans hired Nick Caley as their new offensive coordinator on Monday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero.

Caley served as a tight ends coach on the Los Angeles Rams over the past two seasons and also operated as the Rams' passing game coordinator in 2024.

He'll be replacing Bobby Slowik in Houston, as Slowik was fired following the Texans' 23-14 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round of the playoffs.

Caley has experience as a member of the New England Patriots' coaching staff from 2015-22 as well.

He started as an offensive assistant before he became New England's tight ends coach from 2017 through 2022. He also coached fullbacks for five seasons throughout his tenure with the Patriots.

During Caley's final season with the Rams in 2024, Los Angeles owned the NFL's No. 10 passing attack.

Houston interviewed several candidates for its offensive coordinator vacancy including Texans quarterbacks coach Jerrod Johnson, Syracuse offensive coordinator Jeff Nixon, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterbacks coach Thad Lewis, Minnesota Vikings assistant quarterbacks coach Grant Udinski, Texans senior offensive assistant Bill Lazor and Washington Commanders passing game coordinator Brian Johnson (h/t Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle).

Despite wrapping up a second consecutive divisional-round playoff appearance in 2024, Houston's offense took a notable step back compared to its first year under Slowik.

The Texans' averages of 342.4 yards and 22.2 points per game in 2023 both decreased to 319.7 yards and 21.9 points per game this past season.

C.J. Stroud wasn't able to build upon his stellar rookie season, recording just 219.2 passing yards per game. He also threw 12 interceptions in 17 games after he was picked off just five times in 15 starts as a rookie.

As Houston looks to make a third consecutive playoff appearance and get its offense back on track in 2025, Caley will now reportedly take over.
