The Houston Texans surpassed all of our expectations this year by winning their division and a playoff game before falling to the Ravens in the divisional round.
Unfortunately, something that goes along with success is other teams poaching the coaches that elevate organizations to another level.
For the Texans, OC Bobby Slowik and QB Coach Jerrod Johnson are both drawing interest from several teams. So what will DeMeco Ryans' staff look like next year if one or both coaches leave?
If just Slowik were to leave, Johnson could be the obvious choice to elevate to OC. But NFL.com's Lance Zierlein is not so sure they would opt to do that.
The Texans could look outside the organization for another coordinator, should Slowik accept a head coaching position elsewhere.
DeMeco found his guy on the 49ers staff last year. Could that be the case again? Klint Kubiak is currently on the San Francisco staff and has plenty of knowledge and experience with the Shanahan West Coast system. Could we see another Kubiak leading the Texans offense?
Be sure to watch the video above for the full discussion!

As we begin another week of free agency, Alex Bregman remains unsigned, but one of the Astros reported targets Anthony Santander has a new home.
Santander has reportedly agreed to a 5-year, $92.5 million contract with the Blue Jays. Many were hoping that the Astros would make a play for the switch hitting power hitter, as he would have provided some serious thump.
Now it appears the Astros will enter the 2025 season with one of the weakness outfields in baseball when it comes to offense.
Speaking of Bregman, Astros manager Joe Espada recently told Fox 26's Nate Griffin that the team is still in contact with Breggy despite General Manger Dana Brown telling the media the team decided to pivot after talks stalled with Bregman's camp.
If there still remains a possibility of Bregman returning, one has to wonder if the Astros reported 6-year, $156 million contract offer is still on the table after the club traded for Isaac Paredes to fill the hole at third base. And if they do make a deal with Bregman, what do they do with Paredes?
Also, now that we know how much money Santander commanded on the open market. Which signing would have benefited the Astros the most? Santander at 5-years, $92.5 million, or Bregman at 6-years, $156 million?
Don't miss the video above as we discuss the possibility of Bregman returning, the Dodgers' absurd free agency (that now involves even more deferred money), Billy Wagner, and much more!
