SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Even though Texans coach Bill O'Brien has posted winning records in each of his first three seasons and has won back-to-back AFC South titles, he will not be getting an extension this year.

O'Brien is in the fourth year of the five-year contract he signed with the Texans in 2014.

"We'll talk to him about it at the end of this year," owner Bob McNair said Monday. "That's typically when we do that sort of thing."

O'Brien has a 27-21 record. Two coaches who were hired the same year as O'Brien – Minnesota's Mike Zimmer (26-22) and Washington's Jay Gruden (21-26-1) – signed two-year extensions.

O'Brien is the only one in that threesome who has a playoff victory.

Oakland's Jack Del Rio (19-13), who was hired in 2015, already received a four-year extension.

"We'll sit down and see what he's (O'Brien) happy with and if he wants to be extended and see how we feel," McNair said.

McNair has hired three coaches. Dom Capers was fired after four seasons. Gary Kubiak, hired in 2006 to replace Capers, earned an extension and was fired in 2013.
