""Everything starts with the head coach," Caserio said. "I think he's grown. You can ask him. He's grown from the time he started until now. Obviously, the playcall thing, passed that to [defensive coordinator Matt] Burke. There is no ego with him at all. He just wants what's best for the team and what's best for this organization. Period. End of story. "I can't say enough great things about him, the job he's done.""
"When Ryans took over on Jan. 31, 2023, the Texans were coming off the worst three-year stretch in franchise history. From 2020 to 2022, Houston went 11-38-1, surpassing even the struggles of the franchise's inaugural expansion years (16-32 from 2002 to 2004). The team was searching not only for wins but for identity and leadership. Ryans, a 2005 second-round draft pick out of Alabama by Houston, had a 10-year career in the NFL as a linebacker."
DeMeco Ryans led the Houston Texans to stability and a clear direction after being hired on Jan. 31, 2023. The franchise had gone 11-38-1 from 2020–2022 and lacked identity and leadership. Ryans played 10 NFL seasons after being a 2005 second-round pick from Alabama and earned an All-Pro season in 2007. Working with GM Nick Caserio, Ryans helped build a roster that is 32-19 since his hire, with playoff appearances each season, two AFC South titles (2023, 2024) and three postseason wins. The most recent season included an 0-3 start followed by a 12-2 finish and a nine-game winning streak.
