Bobby Slowik performed admirably in his debut season as the Houston Texans’ offensive coordinator. Slowik’s first year on the job appears to be only the beginning.
Slowik has allegedly agreed to a new contract to stay in Houston. The contract includes a “significant” compensation increase, according to NFL source Albert Breer.
Slowik was not the only Texans employee who has sparked attention from other clubs. Jerrod Johnson, the quarterbacks coach, had multiple interviews with organizations hoping to hire him as their offensive coordinator. But Johnson, like Slowik, decided to stay in Houston.
The Texans were fantastic offensively in their debut year with rookie quarterback CJ Stroud at center. The Ohio State graduate enjoyed a record first season, passing for 4,108 yards and 23 touchdowns with only 5 interceptions. He made history as the first rookie to lead the NFL in touchdown-to-interception ratio. Stroud also led the league in passing yardage per game (273.9).
Slowik’s standing as a head coaching contender rose with each passing week as Stroud improved. He was named to the short list of contenders for a few coaching positions within the league.
If Stroud and the Texans have a similar offensive season in 2024, Slowik will most certainly attract interest from other clubs once more.
