49ers news: DeMeco Ryans fires Bobby Slowik after 2 seasons
One year after receiving rave reviews and being a potential head coaching candidate, Bobby Slowik is out as the Houston Texans offensive coordinator. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport tweeted, “Despite reaching the divisional round, coach DeMeco Ryans hopes for more.”
Slowik followed Ryans to Houston from San Francisco, where he had been working on the offensive side of the ball since 2019 when the 49ers exploded for 13 wins and reached the Super Bowl. Slowik was promoted from offensive assistant to pass game specialist to passing game coordinator in successive years.
The Texans hit on their top draft pick, C.J. Stroud and their offense looked like it had a bright future in 2023 with Tank Dell and Nico Collins. This year, Stroud took a significant step back, often looked unsure of himself, and never seemed to have an out after his first target was covered.
The Texans added Joe Mixon this offseason to add the threat of a run. Still, the NFL is all about adjusting. During the second half of the season, Houston finished 25th in expected points added per play and 31st in success rate. On the season, the Texans finished 26th in schedule-adjusted efficiency. DeMeco didn’t have a choice.
Fans may want to bring Slowik back, but Stroud was pressured this season at the third-highest rate. There’s an obvious flaw in his dropback passing game that he could not solve. You would have liked to see Slowik get more out of Stroud and Nico Collins in Year 2 of a weak division. That did not happen.
Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer said Stroud himself was frustrated with Slowik. Kyle Shanahan brought on Jerrod Johnson in 2017 as the ‘Bill Walsh diversity coaching fellowship.’ Johnson followed Ryans to Houston in 2023 and has been their quarterbacks coach for two seasons. He was an NFL quarterback for multiple years and likely knows how to get through to Stroud.
In a surprising move, San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans has decided to part ways with linebackers coach Bobby Slowik after just two seasons with the team. Slowik, who joined the 49ers coaching staff in 2020, was highly regarded for his work with the linebackers group, but Ryans felt it was time for a change.Ryans, who took over as the 49ers defensive coordinator after Robert Saleh left to become the head coach of the New York Jets, is looking to bring in a fresh perspective to the coaching staff. Slowik’s departure comes as a shock to many fans and analysts, as he was instrumental in developing young linebackers like Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw.
It remains to be seen who Ryans will bring in to replace Slowik, but the 49ers are expected to conduct a thorough search for a new linebackers coach. With the NFL offseason in full swing, this move adds another layer of intrigue to the 49ers coaching staff as they prepare for the upcoming season. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.

““I’ve heard that they’ve already told Saleh, ‘We will make you the highest-paid defensive coordinator in all the land if you sign with us,’” Barrows continued. “And so now, it’s just a matter of waiting for Saleh, and he’s getting all sorts of head coaching attention.
“He’s already interviewed with the Jaguars. He’s got the Raiders coming up on Friday. I’m told he’s got the Cowboys coming up on Saturday.”
There is also a possibility that other teams may also offer Saleh their defensive coordinator positions, potentially complicating matters for the 49ers if Saleh doesn’t land a head coaching role.
“I don’t know what Saleh would pick if he had multiple defensive coordinator positions,” Barrows said. “I know that he’s got a strong relationship with Kyle Shanahan. And, like I said, I know that the 49ers have made a strong offer. It’s supposed to be top of the market. Will it be at the end of this cycle? I don’t know. But the point was that it was supposed to be a strong offer to signal to him that we really want you back here.”

““There isn’t much divide between Kelvin Banks Jr. and Campbell, so the San Francisco 49ers will be thrilled if either of these gents slides into their laps,” Pro Football Network noted. “Maybe Banks (or Campbell) will be able to keep San Fran’s running backs out of the ER.”
Last season, Banks earned an impressive 89.8 pass-blocking grade from Pro Football Focus, the fifth-highest mark among all collegiate offensive linemen. Over 537 pass-blocking snaps, he allowed just one sack and 10 total pressures.”
“Griese joined head coach Kyle Shanahan’s staff in 2022 after a successful run as a broadcaster. Before transitioning to coaching and media, he played 11 seasons as an NFL quarterback after the Denver Broncos selected him in the third round of the 1998 NFL Draft.
Meanwhile, the Jets continue their search for a new head coach, reportedly having interviewed at least 15 candidates as they work to fill the vacancy.”
The San Francisco 49ers have announced that they have signed linebacker DeMeco Ryans as their new linebackers coach. Ryans, a former NFL linebacker himself, brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the team.Fans of the 49ers are thrilled with this news, as Ryans is widely respected throughout the league for his football acumen and leadership skills. Many are excited to see how he will help develop and mentor the team’s young linebackers.
Ryans has already made a positive impression on the players and coaching staff, and it’s clear that he will be a valuable asset to the team moving forward. We’re all DeMeco fans today, and we can’t wait to see what he will bring to the 49ers in the upcoming season.
