I doubt Matt Burke actually gets a HC job but for the Texans sake it’s probably better than he doesn’t even outside of just being the DC.
If he becomes a HC it’s likely his OC is somebody like Jerrod Johnson or Bill Lazor who are key offensive coaches for the Texans currently with an improving offense and offensive staff.
Continuity from this staff that has done a good job post bye would be huge.

With a win on Sunday vs the Raiders HC Demeco Ryans & QB C.J. Stroud would be the first duo in NFL History to start their careers with 3 consecutive 10+ win seasons.
They also have the chance to extend their record of division titles in these final 3 weeks.
