Bill O'Brien was named the third head coach in Houston Texans history on Jan. 3, 2014.In his first three years (2014-16), O'Brien led the Texans to three straight winning seasons for the first time in franchise history and back-to-back AFC South division championships. He is just the 14th coach since 1978 to begin his NFL head coaching career with three consecutive winning seasons and his 28 career victories are the most by any head coach in franchise history through their first three years. In 2016, Houston defeated the Oakland Raiders in the AFC Wild Card Round and advanced to the Divisional Round for the first time since 2012. The Texans finished the season with the NFL's topranked defense for the first time in franchise history, surrendering an average of only 301.3 total net yards per game. The team also posted a 7-1 record at home during the regular season, which set a single-season franchise record and tied for the best home record in the NFL. Hide
