The interview requests just keep coming for members of the Los Angeles Rams’ coaching staff.

According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the Texans have requested to interview Thomas Brown for their head coaching job. Brown is currently the tight ends coach and assistant head coach for the Rams.

He’s become a hot coaching candidate in the last year or so, earning multiple interviews. The Dolphins interviewed him for their head coaching job in 2022 before hiring Mike McDaniel, and the Vikings met with him about the offensive coordinator role on Kevin O’Connell’s staff last year.

Brown, 36, was hired by the Rams in 2020 and has seen his stock rise meteorically ever since. He started out as the running backs coach in Year 1 before adding assistant head coach to his title in 2021. He was then promoted to tight ends coach this year and has received high praise from Sean McVay every step of the way.

The Texans fired Lovie Smith after their 3-13-1 season and are now looking for their third head coach in as many years.
