Texans linebackers coach Mike Vrabel will interview for the Los Angeles Rams' head coaching vacancy next week following an AFC divisional-round playoff game against the New England Patriots, according to sources not authorized to speak publicly.
The Texans granted permission to the Rams to interview Vrabel.
The interview was first reported by Albert Breer of the MMQB.
A former New England Patriots All-Pro outside linebacker, Vrabel is highly regarded in NFL circles and regarded as a rising star in the coaching industry.
One of the most pivotal moves of the Texans' offseason by general manager Rick Smith and coach Bill O'Brien was collaborating with owner Bob McNair to convince Vrabel to stay with the AFC South champions.
