Houston Texans coach DeMeco Ryans works on the sideline during an NFL game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sept. 24, 2023, in Jacksonville, Fla.earned unanimous All-America recognition and the SEC Defensive Player of the Year Award for the 2005 season. Now the coach of the NFL’s Houston Texans, Ryans can’t help but wonder what might have happened if he’d come along just a little later.
“Coach Saban has done an outstanding job, of course, and he’s been very gracious to me anytime I go back to the University of Alabama. I’m always watching those guys, always rooting them on. Been an Alabama fan since I was a young kid, so that never changes. I’m all in on Alabama football and really proud of the success that they’ve had.”
The Texans chose Ryans as their head coach after he’d worked the previous two seasons as the San Francisco 49ers’ defensive coordinator. “And I don’t want to say that he doesn’t seem like a head coach because he is. He’s hard on us; he holds everybody accountable. But he’s really like a brother of ours, and people want to play for him is what I’m meaning.”
