Texans, Saints announce head coach hirings … Two more coaching dominos fell in the NFL in the past few hours as both Houston and New Orleans filled their respective vacancies in both cases by promoting their defensive co-ordinators to the top job. The Texans, for example, announced that Lovie Smith, who had been the team’s Associate Head Coach along with being D.C., will be replacing David Culley who was fired at the end of the season. Meanwhile, Dennis Allen takes over from Sean Peyton in New Orleans. For Smith, its his third kick at a head coaching gig after tenures at Chicago and Tampa Bay while Allen had a run as the Raiders job.
