Former Texans OC Bobby Slowik Heads to Miami as Dolphins’ New Playcaller

Former Houston Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik is officially heading to Miami, taking on a major role with the Dolphins after a breakout season in Houston. The news marks one of the most significant staff departures for the Texans this offseason, and it comes just as the team continues building momentum around C.J. Stroud and a rising young roster.

Slowik, who helped transform the Texans’ offense into one of the league’s most exciting units, will now serve as the Miami Dolphins’ offensive coordinator and primary playcaller. His move follows an impressive 2023 season in which Houston’s offense became a focal point of the team’s turnaround. With a dynamic passing attack, a revitalized culture, and a franchise quarterback on the rise, Slowik’s influence in Houston was impossible to miss.

Why His Departure Matters for Houston

The Texans’ success last year was rooted in balance, creativity, and strong communication between players and coaches—all areas Slowik played a role in shaping. While head coach DeMeco Ryans emphasized continuity going into next season, losing a coordinator this early in the rebuild is still a challenge. Houston fans know how important stability is for a young quarterback, and the front office now faces the task of keeping the offensive system strong while introducing new leadership.

Still, the Texans remain well-positioned. With Stroud at the helm and plenty of returning talent, Houston is far from starting over. The team can now choose between promoting from within to preserve the existing scheme or bringing in new ideas to build on last year’s success. Either path will be watched closely by a fan base eager to see the Texans continue their rise.

What’s Next for the Texans?

Ryans and the Texans will now evaluate candidates who can maintain the rhythm the offense found in 2023. Houston’s identity—quick reads, explosive downfield shots, and smart adaptations—won’t disappear, but every coordinator brings their own touches. The coming weeks should bring clarity as Houston prepares for another playoff push.

For Slowik, Miami presents a chance to work with another high-powered roster. For Houston, it’s another chance to prove the franchise is built for sustained success, even when key pieces move on.
