After a week of speculation following the hiring of DeMeco Ryans as the head coach of the Houston Texans, the San Francisco 49ers are retaining defensive line coach Kris Kocurek, according to Houston Texans reporter Aaron Wilson.
"The Texans had interest in 49ers defensive line coach Kris Kocurek for their defensive coordinator position, but sources emphasized that Kocurek will remain with the 49ers. Kocurek, a Texas Tech graduate and former NFL defensive lineman, could potentially receive an upgraded salary and/or job title," wrote Wilson.
Kocurek had previously been on record stating his preference for coaching the defensive line, as opposed to a coordinator position, and is primed to remain in his role with the 49ers, despite receiving interest from the Texans for their defensive coordinator position.
The Texans aren't done searching from the 49ers' coaching staff, as they have an interest in 49ers' defensive passing game specialist and secondary coach Cory Undlin, according to Wilson, in addition to Washington Commanders secondary coach Chris Harris, whom San Francisco has requested to interview for their vacant defensive coordinator position.

But I wonder if we were able to catch them in a moment of complete transparency if they might admit to wanting to hit the Ctrl+Z and "undo" some moves.
I doubt they will admit to such mistakes anytime soon, but fear not—I'm here to do it for them. Yes, I could write on the best decisions
