The 2020 NFL campaign has not gone as per plan for Deshaun Watson and the Houston Texans. After going without a win in their first 4 games of the season, the Texans management opted to part ways with GM/Head Coach Bill O’Brien. Romeo Crennel was made the interim Head Coach in Week 5.

Since then, the veteran NFL coach has led the Texans to 2 wins out of 4 games. Both their victories have come against fellow AFC south strugglers, Jacksonville Jaguars.

However, Crennel has done enough over the last 4 weeks to convince the Texans ownership that he deserves a permanent position with the team.
