The Houston Texans are reportedly hiring San Francisco 49ers offensive passing game coordinator Bobby Slowik as their offensive coordinator, per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
Slowik has been part of Kyle Shanahan's staff since 2017, the same year DeMeco Ryans joined the 49ers. Ryans served as San Francisco's defensive coordinator for two years before being
hired by the Texans to be their new head coach on January 31.
Slowik served as a defensive assistant with Washington before joining the 49ers as a defensive quality control coach. He and Shanahan were a part of Washington's coaching staff for three years together (2011-13).
With San Francisco, Slowik moved on to become an offensive assistant (2019-20), offensive pass game specialist (2021), and offensive passing game coordinator (2022).

49ers trade up for offensive lineman in mock draft
The San Francisco 49ers hold the No. 31 overall pick, but speculation abounds that they may seek to move before or during the first round of next week's NFL Draft.

Rapoport: 49ers send clear message to teams inquiring about Brandon Aiyuk
Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.
Reacting to Aiyuk's decision to unfollow the 49ers on Instagram, Rapoport couldn't help but chuckle at the latest development.
