NFL Playoff Power Rankings: Divisional Round

The Houston Texans are making a massive change in the organization. It has been announced that the organization has fired team president Greg Grissom.

Ian Rapoport reported on the fire but has officially changed the language to reflect that Grissom and the Texans have mutually parted ways.

After being bounced out of the playoffs in back-to-back Divisional Round appearances, it appears the team was comfortable shaking things up regarding a high front-office level.

Grissom has served in the role as the Texans president since March 2021, according to his LinkedIn page. He has also spent the last 23 years with the organization, serving in many roles such as corporate development manager, director of corporate development, and senior vice president of corporate development.

After spending the last 23 years with the Texans, Grissom will now presumably look for another role in the NFL world.

The Texans also released a statement on Grissom being let go.

“The Houston Texans have amicably parted ways with Team President Greg Grissoom, the club announced on Thursday.

“We want to thank Greg for his contributions to the organization,” said Chair and CEO Cal McNair, “Since he became our team president in 2023, Greg helped me implement numerous initiatives to help our organization fearlessly and evolve and grow in many ways, which we are thankful for. We wish Greg and his family all the best in the future. We will provide updates regarding the team’s next president in the coming days.”

“Leading the Houston Texans business operations has been the opportunity of a lifetime,” Grissom said. “After almost 25 years with the Texans, including the last four as President, I feel its the right time to embrace new challenges and opportunity. I want to thank Janice McNair and Cal and Hannah McNair for their support and the opportunity to help lead this organization. Over the past four years, I am incredibly proud of what we accomplished for our fans and for our business. Most of all, I am thankful for the relationships I’ve built with my Texans teammates, everyone at NRG Park, corporate and civic leaders across Houston and Harris County, and, of course, our passionate Texans fans. These connections have been the most rewarding part of my time here and will always hold a special place in my life. I am grateful for my time with the Texans and look forward to what’s next.”

The Texans will now look for a new team president to lead the organization moving forward. After the success the team has had with DeMeco Ryans as head coach and a strong young talent in C.J. Stroud, Houston might have no trouble at all finding a new front-office leader.
