In a season filled with success, Houston Texans' head coach DeMeco Ryans believes there is still room for improvement despite winning the AFC South and a playoff game for the second consecutive year. Ryans expressed dissatisfaction over the team's inability to advance to the AFC Championship, losing once more to the conference's top seed in the divisional round. He emphasizes the need for difficult conversations aimed at enhancing the team's performance, leading to the dismissal of offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik.

Despite Slowik's role in helping rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud secure the Offensive Rookie of the Year title and an impressive first year, Ryans noted a decline in offensive output, leading to the decision for change. Ryans respects Slowik but feels that an overhaul is necessary to reach their potential. With Nick Caley taking over as offensive coordinator, the Texans aim for new heights in the upcoming season.

The Houston Texans are reportedly seeking a new offensive coordinator following the departure of Bobby Slowik after two seasons with the team. With the franchise aiming to bolster its offensive strategy, several potential candidates have emerged. Among them is Josh McCown, the quarterbacks coach for the Minnesota Vikings, who has gained recognition for rejuvenating Sam Darnold's career. McCown's familiarity with Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud adds to his appeal.

Another strong candidate is Chip Kelly, currently the offensive coordinator at Ohio State. Kelly led the Buckeyes to a national championship, showcasing his capability to produce elite offensive performances. His past connection with head coach DeMeco Ryans from their time with the Philadelphia Eagles may facilitate a smooth transition.

Additionally, Jerrod Johnson, the Texans' current quarterbacks coach, could be an in-house solution. Johnson has been instrumental in Stroud's development during his rookie season and could provide continuity within the offensive framework.
