DeMeco Ryans is going back to where his NFL journey began.
The Houston Texans are hiring the 38-year-old Ryans as their new head coach, according to multiple reports. Ryans, who spent the last six seasons on the 49ers coaching staff, including the last two as defensive coordinator, agreed to a six-year contract with Houston, per ESPN.
Ryans was drafted by the Texans out of Alabama in the second round of the 2006 NFL Draft. He earned Defensive Rookie of the Year honors and made two Pro Bowls during his six seasons with the Texans, who traded him to the Eagles in 2012. He played four seasons in Philadelphia before he was released in 2016 and joined the 49ers as a defensive quality control coach in 2017.
