The Texans Needed Changes But Not Wholesale Changes on Offense

DeMeco Ryans was confident in his holdover coaches on offense

The Houston Texans didn’t clean house with their offensive coaching staff after a disappointing 2024 season.

New offensive coordinator Nick Caley was the only major addition to the coaching staff. There were other additions, but the position coaches are all filled by coaches who were a part of last season’s failures.

Head coach DeMeco Ryans was confident the coaches they kept were right for the Texans.

“When it comes to the staffing I feel like we had a lot of good coaches on our staff,” Ryans said Tuesday at the NFL Scouting Combine. “It was just a matter of us all getting on the same page, getting organized, and making sure communication is great among everyone. I feel like our guys did a good job.”

Ryans said the changes they made, firing offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik and offensive line coach Chris Strausser, were about the need for necessary offensive improvement.

“I didn’t feel I needed to get rid of everyone on our staff because we had really good coaches.”
