By Alfred Perez | KTSMIn 2006, the Houston Texans made a pivotal decision that would have far-reachingconsequences for their franchise’s future. With the first pick in the second roundof the NFL Draft, they selected Alabama linebacker DeMeco Ryans, passing onother promising linebackers D’Qwell Jackson and Rocky McIntosh. Then-headcoach Gary Kubiak expressed his surprise at Ryans’ availability and the Texans’good fortune in landing him.Fast forward to 2023, and DeMeco Ryans has come full circle. After a successfulNFL career and earning a spot as a beloved figure among Texans fans, Ryansreturned to Houston, not as a player, but as their head coach. Despite the team’srecent struggles, Ryans saw potential in the organization and expressed a strongdesire to be back in “H-Town.”The Texans’ recent history hadn’t been rosy, with a lackluster roster, quarterbackuncertainties, and a dysfunctional front office leading to disappointing seasons.Nevertheless, Ryans’ hiring brought newfound hope to the franchise. His experienceas a Pro Bowl linebacker and his successful tenure as the defensive coordinatorfor the San Francisco 49ers made him a compelling candidate for thehead coaching role.The 2023 NFL Draft marked another critical turning point for theTexans. They invested in their future by selecting quarterbackC.J. Stroud and pass rusher Will Anderson Jr. with their top-threedraft picks. While the cost to trade up for Anderson was steep,the Texans believed in their picks and hoped they would lay thefoundation for a brighter future.As the team moved forward, some analysts expressed cautiousoptimism for the Texans. They acknowledged the signs ofimprovement and believed in Ryans’ coaching abilities,but also recognized that the team still had areas toaddress before becoming a top contender.9
