Narrative:

First officer made a flaps 30 degree; brakes 2 landing to runway 27 at iah. Touchdown in first 2000 ft of runway. Captain assumed control of aircraft at approximately 80 KTS in manual brakes with idle (+) reverse. There was 2000+ ft of runway remaining. Tower asked us to expedite off the runway for landing traffic. Captain continued a high speed taxi to the end; but misjudged our speed when he began the 90 degree turn to the taxiway. The nosewheel began to slide an the aircraft left the taxiway; impacting a taxiway light and a runway sign. Damage was done to #1 engine inlet. Aircraft was inspected by maintenance and confirmed safe to taxi to terminal on #2 engine. Captain's failure to slow to a safe taxi speed to clear runway and first officer's hesitation to jump on brakes to slow aircraft. First officer was concerned about interfering with captain decelerating aircraft. First officer did express concern of speed entering turn; but was too late. Wet runway/taxiway and water on painted threshold markings were contributing factors of nosewheel sliding. As a first officer; it is difficult to see what could have been done. Attempting to brake could have interfered with captain's control of aircraft. I thought captain was making good time to end of runway and then was going to make quick stop and turn. The captain never stopped; but entered turn for taxiway. By then it was too late. Aircraft began to slide. There are only seconds as runway rushes towards you and wasn't time to start discussing making a turn.

Title: B737-800 FLT CREW HAS A TXWY EXCURSION WHILE EXITING THE RWY AT IAH AND CONTACTS A TXWY LIGHT DAMAGING THE R ENG COWL.

Narrative: FO MADE A FLAPS 30 DEG; BRAKES 2 LNDG TO RWY 27 AT IAH. TOUCHDOWN IN FIRST 2000 FT OF RWY. CAPT ASSUMED CTL OF ACFT AT APPROX 80 KTS IN MANUAL BRAKES WITH IDLE (+) REVERSE. THERE WAS 2000+ FT OF RWY REMAINING. TWR ASKED US TO EXPEDITE OFF THE RWY FOR LNDG TFC. CAPT CONTINUED A HIGH SPD TAXI TO THE END; BUT MISJUDGED OUR SPD WHEN HE BEGAN THE 90 DEG TURN TO THE TXWY. THE NOSEWHEEL BEGAN TO SLIDE AN THE ACFT LEFT THE TXWY; IMPACTING A TXWY LIGHT AND A RWY SIGN. DAMAGE WAS DONE TO #1 ENG INLET. ACFT WAS INSPECTED BY MAINT AND CONFIRMED SAFE TO TAXI TO TERMINAL ON #2 ENG. CAPT'S FAILURE TO SLOW TO A SAFE TAXI SPD TO CLR RWY AND FO'S HESITATION TO JUMP ON BRAKES TO SLOW ACFT. FO WAS CONCERNED ABOUT INTERFERING WITH CAPT DECELERATING ACFT. FO DID EXPRESS CONCERN OF SPD ENTERING TURN; BUT WAS TOO LATE. WET RWY/TXWY AND WATER ON PAINTED THRESHOLD MARKINGS WERE CONTRIBUTING FACTORS OF NOSEWHEEL SLIDING. AS A FO; IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE. ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE COULD HAVE INTERFERED WITH CAPT'S CTL OF ACFT. I THOUGHT CAPT WAS MAKING GOOD TIME TO END OF RWY AND THEN WAS GOING TO MAKE QUICK STOP AND TURN. THE CAPT NEVER STOPPED; BUT ENTERED TURN FOR TXWY. BY THEN IT WAS TOO LATE. ACFT BEGAN TO SLIDE. THERE ARE ONLY SECONDS AS RWY RUSHES TOWARDS YOU AND WASN'T TIME TO START DISCUSSING MAKING A TURN.
