Source: Bobby Slowik 'Would Be Good For Texans' As DeMeco Ryans' OC
HOUSTON — DeMeco Ryans wasted no time recruiting candidates for his first-ever coaching staff.
The Houston Texans have requested to interview San Francisco 49ers' passing game coordinator, Bobby Slowik.
A source told TexansDaily.com Ryans is trying to bring Slowik to Houston in hopes of hiring him as his new offensive coordinator.
The source also described Slowik as a "bright young coach who would be good for the Texans," but more importantly, credited Slowik for the success the Niners experienced under rookie quarterback Brock Purdy.
Slowik, who served one season as the 49ers' passing game coordinator, helped San Francisco put together one of the best offensive teams in the league.
The 49ers averaged 226.8 passing yards while scoring 26.5 points during the 2022 campaign. In the seven games Purdy started before losing in the NFC Championship game to the Philadelphia Eagles, he threw for an average of 234.8 yards, 14 touchdowns, and two interceptions.
The source went on to say 49ers' coach Kyle Shanahan thinks highly of Slowik. And they added Shanahan is good about letting his guys go to "get their promotions."
Slowik joined the 49ers as the team's defensive quality control coach in 2017. The Niners then elevated Slowik to offensive assistant in 2019. Two years later, he took the helm as San Francisco's offensive pass game specialist before the 2022 season.
