Texans HC DeMeco Ryans is very familiar with Slowik, as they have worked together for six seasons in San Francisco. The Texans interviewed former Cardinals HC Kliff Kingsbury for the OC position on Friday, but ultimately decided to go with Slowik. Former Texans OC Pep Hamilton has been let go.
A player many Aggie fans will be familiar with, Jerrod Johnson, has been selected to be the team's next quarterbacks coach, per sources.
The #Texans are hiring Jerrod Johnson as QBs coach, sources say. The Houston native, an #Eagles undrafted free agent as a player, is on the rise as a coach and takes a step up after serving as the #Vikings’ assistant QBs coach this past season.

The 34-year-old Houston native was the Minnesota Vikings assistant quarterbacks coach last season.
The Texans are also reportedly trying to hire Klint Kubiak to be the team's run game coordinator, though it is not a done deal, per John McClain.
I feel I should reiterate the tweet I sent Sunday: The Texans have NOT hired Klint Kubiak. They're trying, but he has options. It's not a done deal. I jumped the gun saying they were "hiring him." And I apologize!

Kubiak was the Broncos passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach last season. Before that, he was the Vikings quarterbacks coach in 2019 and 2020. He was then promoted to Vikings OC in 2021.
On defense, the team announced former Cardinals D-line coach Matt Burke will be the new DC, and Frank Ross will stay on the staff and continue coaching special teams.
