The Texans are promoting Cole Popovich to run game coordinator and head offensive line coach from assistant offensive line coach, Aaron Wilson of KPRC reports.  This according to league sources.

Popovich’s contract was expiring this offseason and now he’s back with the defending AFC South champions after they hired Nick Caley as offensive coordinator. Popovich and Caley were assistant coaches on Super Bowl winning staffs with the New England Patriots under coach Bill Belichick.

Popovich’s primary tasks for next season will be upgrading the pass protection issues that the team dealt with last season as quarterback C.J. Stroud was sacked 52 times, up from 38 sacks when he was NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year two seasons ago. The Texans dismissed offensive line coach Chris Strausser after the season, per sources.
