DeMeco Ryans is starting to put together his coaching staff with the Houston Texans. It's reasonable to understand why he might be interested in some of his former San Francisco 49ers colleagues.

The #Texans are requesting to interview #49ers passing game coordinator Bobby Slowik for their vacant OC job under new HC DeMeco Ryans, source said. An impressive young coach, Slowik is another new branch from the Kyle Shanahan tree.

He moved on to become an offensive assistant (2019-20), offensive pass game specialist (2021), and offensive passing game coordinator (2022) under Shanahan.
