Legit reasons to be excited about Houston Texans new OC Bobby Slowik
GOOD VIBES
15 February 2023
The Houston Texans announced the hiring of new Offensive Coordinator Bobby Slowik over the weekend. Slowik coached with DeMeco Ryans in San Francisco, but his lack of play calling experience may have some concerned.
On the other hand, Ryans will have a level of comfort with Slowik due to their time together in San Francisco, and coaches from the Shanahan tree have enjoyed a lot of success recently.
Plus, Slowik's coaching background started on the defensive side of the ball, but arguably the best offensive mind in the game (Shanahan) saw something in Slowik that made him believe he would be a good offensive coach. Maybe his experience on both sides of the ball will give him an edge.
Be sure to check out the video above as the guys give their full assessment of the hire and what the offense will look like on the field for Houston.
