Texans to fire Capers<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Even though team consultant Dan Reeves wouldn't mind becoming the Texans' next coach, owner Bob McNair will look harder at offensive coordinators like Denver's Gary Kubiak and San Diego's Cam Cameron with Iowa's Kirk Ferentz on everybody's radar, Mortensen reported. McNair made it clear when hiring Reeves that Reeves was not interviewing to be coach of the Texans, nor was he brought in to critique Capers or general manager Charley Casserly. "He's here as a resource to assist me as we go forward and to assist the other people in our organization to help us be a better team," McNair said. McNair said he hired Reeves to get an outside opinion of his organization and that he would spend time talking with coaches, watching practice and reviewing game film. Upon joining the Texans, Reeves wouldn't rule out the possibility of returning to coaching ("Never is a bad word to say") but said he wasn't actively looking for a sideline job. Capers is the only coach the expansion Texans have had during their four-year existence, and the club has a 17-44 record under his stewardship. Until this year, Houston (1-12) had been a model of steady improvement, winning seven games last season after winning five in 2003 and four in its first season.</div>http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2277168
