• "He is also the team's leader in games coached (64), won (18), loss (46), and has the highest winning percentage with .469."-->He is the team's leader in games coached (64), won (18), loss (46), and has the highest winning percentage (.469).
• Add a note about each year in the table being linked to that particular NFL season (see List of New Orleans Saints head coaches).
• Gary Kubiak needs an asterisk in the table. Also, only his name needs to be highlighted, not the whole row. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:15, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

• The article may be short, but it formatted and referenced well; good job. That said, I can only think of two suggestions to offer;

1. If you ever put this article up for featured list consideration, one thing to be mindful of is that you may be asked why you believe pro-football-reference.com is a reliable source. You might point out that the publisher of that source, Sports Reference LLC., is an accepted source on featured articles like Lee Smith (baseball).
2. The third sentence of the lead section reads, "The Texans joined the NFL in 2002 as an expansion team and has always played at the Reliant Stadium." I understand that by using the word "has" as the verb tense instead of "have," you are indicating that the Texans are a single entity; I encountered the same thing while reviewing Sunderland A.F.C.. However, it is my personal opinion that the wording of the sentence is jarring to the reader; it doesn't flow well, it might potentially confuse some readers, and most of all it just sounds awkward. However, if you consider the Texans to consist of the players on the team, then using the verb tense "have" makes sense. You could also try to re-write the sentence to avoid the verb tense usage entirely.

Hope my suggestions help. Cheers, Monowi (talk) 06:59, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
