Texans, offensive coordinator George Godsey part ways

HOUSTON -- The Houston Texans and offensive coordinator George Godsey "have mutually agreed to part ways," the team announced Monday.

Godsey called plays for the Texans through the first three games before O'Brien took over after the Texans' 27-0 loss to the New England Patriots. Later in the season, O'Brien said the playcalling had become a combination of him and Godsey.

"I'm grateful for the tireless work ethic and contributions George has made to our team over the last three years," head coach Bill O'Brien said in a statement the team released. "I wish him nothing but the best in the future."

Though the Texans won the AFC South for the second consecutive season, Houston's offense struggled. The Texans only scored more than two offensive touchdowns twice in 18 games this season, and they scored just 23 offensive touchdowns during the regular season.

In quarterbackBrock Osweiler's first season with the team, he completed 59 percent of his passes for 2,957 yards with 15 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. His play improved in the Texans' first playoff game, but in the loss to the Patriots in the divisional round, he threw three interceptions.

Earlier in the day when O'Brien was asked about Godsey in his final news conference of the season, he said the team would be "looking at everything" to evaluate how the team could improve next season.
