DeMeco Ryans spent the final four years of his 10-year NFL playing career with the Eagles, with his best season coming in 2013, when he had 127 tackles, two interceptions, seven pass knockdowns, four sacks, nine tackles for loss, and five quarterback hits.
Known as one of the top defensive coordinators in the NFL entering this season, Ryan’s San Francisco 49ers were vanquished by Philadelphia on Sunday, but things are just heating up for the young up-and-coming coach.
According to Adam Schefter, Ryan has been hired by the Houston Texans as their new head coach.
A Unanimous All-American selection, Ryans was selected by the Houston Texans in the second round of the 2006 NFL Draft.
Ryans would go on to earn Defensive Rookie of the Year honors and was selected to two Pro Bowls before being traded to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2012, before retiring.
Ryans joined the 49ers as a coaching assistant in 2017 and coached the inside linebackers from 2018-20 before being named their defensive coordinator in 2021.
