The Houston Texans have fired Gary Kubiak.

The Texans have been one of the NFL's best teams over the past few seasons, but completely fell off in 2013 on an 11-game losing streak.

The Texans will be a coveted job by head coaching candidates due to the presence of strong foundational pieces such as J.J. Watt, Duane Brown and Brian Cushing, along with strong ownership and a high draft pick. 

Wade Philips will finish the season as interim head coach of the Texans.
