Texans coordinators recognized as potential breakout coaching candidates
Summary

Houston Texans coordinators Matt Burke and Nick Caley have been named potential breakout coaching candidates for the 2026 NFL season by The Athletic's Jourdan Rodrigue. Burke excelling in defensive play-calling last season, contributed to the Texans finishing in the top five in multiple defensive categories. Caley's offense is anticipated to progress further with improvements, including the addition of running back David Montgomery. The Texans' coaching staff has generated interest, particularly for Burke and Caley, amid the team's 12-win campaign last season. Training camp is set to start on July 28.
