Cowboys Rumors: Bobby Slowik Won't Get HC Interview After Being Fired by Texans

Bobby Slowik's sudden availability is not changing the Dallas Cowboys' timeline for its head coach search.

The Houston Texans' sudden firing of Slowik as the team's offensive coordinator on Friday sent a shockwave through the NFL. While he could be an intriguing option for several vacancies, including the Cowboys' vacant head coach position, Jane Slater of NFL Network reported that Dallas will not be inquiring with Slowik.

Slowik was the Texans' offensive coordinator from 2023-2024. Prior to that, Slowik was the passing game coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers.

Slowik worked with Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud in 2023 as the then-rookie threw for 4,108 yards with 23 touchdowns and five interceptions in 15 games under his tutelage as Houston went 10-7 and reached the Divisional Round of the postseason while Stroud won the offensive rookie of the year award.

The Texans' record and playoff journey was the same in 2024 but Stroud and the Texans' offense regressed. The second-year quarterback threw for 3,727 yards with 20 touchdowns and 12 interceptions despite playing in two more games.

The offense as a whole also regressed as it finished 19th in points and 22nd in total yards despite ranking 13th and 12th in those metrics in 2023. Houston also dealt with injuries to Stefon Diggs, Nico Collins, Tank Dell and Joe Mixon, hampering the unit at various points throughout the year.

While his time with the Texans comes to an end, Slowik's previous success should make him a notable candidate for other franchises. It looks like Dallas will not be one of these team's, at least when it comes to the head coach search.
