The Houston Texans have begun reshaping their coaching staff following the season, parting ways with multiple assistants across both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball, according to sources.

Per reports from Aaron Wilson, the organization has:
Fired tight ends coach Jake Moreland
Moved on from assistant linebackers coach Ben Bolling
Chosen not to renew offensive assistant Mike Snyder
The Dolphins hired assistant offensive line coach Zach Yenser
The tight ends position will get new leadership after Moreland’s dismissal. That role is often central to both protection packages and red-zone design, making it a key evaluation point in offseason reviews. Moving on from an offensive assistant like Snyder also suggests adjustments are coming in game-planning workflow and positional support structure.

The departure of Bolling from the assistant linebackers role indicates a parallel shift on the defensive side. Assistant linebacker coaches are heavily involved in rotation prep, film breakdown, and sub-package communication, meaning even support-role changes can influence week-to-week defensive consistency.
Staff turnover among position and assistant coaches is common during the early offseason window, especially as teams reassess development pipelines and unit performance. For Houston, these moves point to targeted recalibration — tightening specific position groups while maintaining broader system continuity.
