The Houston Texans have only been around since 2002 and had three full time coaches total. So, in the blame game of musical chairs, someone had to take the ignominious title.
Barry Werner at Touchdown Wire ranked all 32 NFL team’s worst coaches in the Super Bowl era, and Capers took the crown.
Hate to put an expansion coach on this but Dom Capers was so far and away the one with the worst record. Gary Kubiak wound up below .500 but he delivered two AFC South crowns. Capers delivered 18 wins … over four seasons and that can’t be ignored.
The Capers tenure started off on a high note with a 19-10 win over the Dallas Cowboys in the franchise’s first game, even the win was amid a 4-12 season. In 2004, the Texans finished 7-9 and it appeared the club was going to contend for a playoff spot in 2005. However, the club started 0-6 before getting their first win of the season over the Cleveland Browns, and then faded down to the stretch to 2-14 and the rights to the No. 1 overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft. Capers would see the door, not the selection.
Though not counting interim coaches, Wade Phillips could qualify as the worst coach in Texans history. In his three-game reign during the last trio of contests in 2013, Phillips went winless.
