Houston Texans complete second coaching interview with 49ers DC DeMeco Ryans

The Houston Texans have finished up their second coaching interview with San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans.

The Texans reportedly flew in Ryans to Houston for the second visit, which indicates things are heating up between the two sides.

Ryans, a former 2006 second-round pick for Houston, has been with the 49ers since 2017 when Kyle Shanahan became coach. Ryans, who was with the Texans at the same time Shanahan had various assistant roles on the staff from 2006-09, started out as a defensive quality control coach for San Francisco. From 2018-20, Ryans was the inside linebackers coach before being promoted to defensive coordinator in 2021.

The Alabama product would be the sixth full-time coach in team history if hired.
