Texans History
|
Houston Texans, professional
football team, which will begin play in the National Football
League (NFL) during the 2002 season. The Houston, Texas, franchise
will be a member of South Division of the American Football
Conference (AFC) and play its home games in Houston’s
new Reliant Stadium.
The NFL accepted Houston’s proposal for a team after a
competing bid from Los Angeles, California, fell apart in 1999.
The Texans fill the void left by the Houston Oilers, who moved
to Tennessee in 1997. The Texans are owned by businessman Robert
McNair, and the general manager is Charley Casserly. The franchise
selected its team name in September 2000. In early 2001 Houston
hired Dom Capers, former defensive coordinator for the Jacksonville
Jaguars, as its first head coach. Capers was also the first
head coach of the Carolina Panthers, who joined the NFL in 1995. |
