Texans HC Lovie Smith brings down the house on Pat McAfee Show
FACE OF THE FRANCHISE
03 March 2022
Texans head coach Lovie Smith made a great impression on the Pat McAfee Show this week, and I must say, it's so refreshing as a Texans fan to have a coach that the media and former players are actually pulling for. This also leads me to believe the Texans finally have a face of the franchise that no longer includes Deshaun Watson and GM Nick Caserio. Be sure to check out the video as Smith addresses the Deshaun Watson situation, GM Nick Caserio being on the headsets on game day, and much more!
Warning: Explicit language in the video.

Coach Ime Udoka has agreed to a contract extension with the Houston Rockets, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Thursday.
The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the deal hadn’t been announced. No details on the terms of the contract were available.
The move comes after Udoka led the Rockets to the second-best record in the Western Conference this season and their first playoff berth since the 2019-20 season. Houston made a remarkable turnaround in his two seasons in charge after being among the worst teams in the NBA the three seasons before his hiring.
The Rockets, who won just 42 games combined in the two seasons before Udoka was hired, went 41-41 in his first season before going 52-30 this season for their first winning record since 2019-20. Houston lost to the Golden State Warriors in seven games in the first round of the playoffs this season.
Udoka led the Boston Celtics to the NBA Finals in 2022, then was suspended for the following season after the disclosure of an inappropriate relationship with a female Celtics employee.
The 47-year-old was hired in April 2023 to replace Stephen Silas, who was fired after three losing seasons.
ESPN was first to report the contract extension.
