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!

The Houston Texans came into this draft with many anticipating they would trade up to address their need on the offensive line. Instead, the Texans elected to trade back to pick No. 34 after agreeing to a deal with the Giants.
The Texans also receive pick number 99, and a 2026 third-round selection.

When Ohio State's offensive lineman Donovan Jackson and Texas receiver Matthew Golden went off the board right in front of them, the Texans decided to go with a contingency plan, it seems.
We'll have to wait until Friday night to see what the Texans do with their picks.
