Culley also was asked about his coaching staff saying, "As far as I'm concerned their future is now. They're here. They'll be coaching with me."
While this all looks like positive news for Culley, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported that the Texans aren't expected to make a decision on Culley right away, so he may not be in the clear just yet.
Houston Texans aren’t expected to have any announcements today regarding head coach David Culley, will be in evaluation phase of football operation over next few days. Seems like this one still up in the air.
