Another day, another interview.
According to KPRC2 Sports’ Aaron Wilson, the Houston Texans plan to interview Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich on Saturday afternoon to replace Bobby Slowik as offensive coordinator.
Stenavich, 41, also interviewed earlier this week for Seattle’s offensive coordinator opening, which went to Klint Kubiak.
Green Bay is willing to let Stenavich interview for the position because of his role in the NFC North offense. The third-year OC doesn’t call the plays for the Packers but works closely with coach Matt LaFleur in building out game plans.
He also has a strong rapport with key offensive players like quarterback Jordan Love and Pro Bowl running back Josh Jacobs.
Last season, Green Bay finished eighth in scoring, averaging 27.1 points per game. It ranked fifth in total offense, fifth in rushing and 12th in passing. Jacobs, who inked a four-year deal in the offseason, rushed for 1,329 yards and 15 touchdowns, averaging 4.4 yards per attempt and 78.2 yards per game.
Before taking over as the offensive coordinator Stenavich worked on staff as the offensive line coach and run game coordinator.
Stenavich becomes the eighth candidate on an interview list that includes internal candidates Jerrod Johnson, Texans and senior offensive assistant Bill Lazor.
External candidates include Syracuse offensive coordinator Jeff Nixon, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterbacks coach Thad Lewis, and Los Angeles Rams tight ends coach and passing game coordinator Nick Caley, Minnesota Vikings assistant offensive coordinator Grant Udinski and Washington Commanders passing-game coordinator Brian Johnson.
The Texans are expected to make a hire sometime next week before the Super Bowl.
