Former Alabama linebacker DeMeco Ryans has done a phenomenal job as the defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers and he is now expected to become the next head coach for the Houston Texans, according to a report by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Ryans and the 49ers’ season came to an end in the NFC Championship Game as injury-riddled San Francisco fell hard to the Super Bowl-bound Philadelphia Eagles.
From 2002-2005, Ryans played linebacker for the Crimson Tide as was drafted by the Texans in the second round of the 2006 NFL draft. This is a homecoming of sorts by the Bessemer, Alabama native.
With the #49ers season over, defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans will visit Houston this week for a second interview and if all goes well, he’s expected to become the #Texans new head coach.
