Sean Pendergast takes a closer look at Lovie Smith's postgame press conference after the Texans' latest loss.
When Lovie Smith was named the fifth full time head coach of the Houston Texans back in early February of this year, it kind of came out of nowhere. The Texans had reportedly narrowed their search to former Texans QB Josh McCown and former Dolphins head coach Brian Flores.
On Sunday, the Texans lost to the Dolphins, 30-15, a final score that was not even close to indicative of how lopsided the game was. The score was 30-0 at halftime, the Dolphins had outgunned the Texans 282 yards to 32 yards, making this the third game in five weeks where the Texans had 35 yards or less at halftime.
Q. How would you evaluate where this team is going under your leadership, and where does the confidence come for you that you’re the man going forward? SP:"For us to hold them without points in the second half" makes me chuckle, because as you're about to read, the assembled media reminded Smith that the Dolphins were playing their third string quarterback, a rookie seventh round pick from Kansas State named Skylar Thompson.

Based on what they did, I don't have any — I can't judge that. I saw progress at the end. And we moved the football and had a chance before that last interception. That's what I saw. Were you watching the same game? I guess not. COACH SMITH: Let me start back over. We're down 30-0. And we didn't play well enough early on. So I understand where we are. Second half we're down 30-0, I saw some positive life simple as that. We didn't win the football game and we're not patting ourselves on the back, but we're looking for positives as we go forward. We're not there yet. That's obvious to everyone.
