Slowik’s father is also a longtime assistant coach (currently in the CFL), but no known A&M connections.

Aaron Wilson also reported added 49ers passing defense/secondary coach Cory Undlin and Jets safeties coach Marquand Manuel as defensive coordinator candidates. Mentioned 49ers defensive line coach Kris Kocurek, but Niners may be looking to retain him. Undlin (Lions) and Manuel (Falcons) are former DCs, the latter a target to also join Frank Reich's staff as the Panthers DC.

The Texans have interest in 49ers defensive passing game specialist-secondary coach Cory Undlin and New York Jets safeties coach and former Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator Marquand Manuel for their defensive coordinator job, according to sources.

Undlin, 51, was previously a defensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions under former coach Matt Patricia before the staff was fired after the 2020 season. He has been an assistant coach for the New England Patriots, Cleveland Browns, Jacksonville Jaguars, Denver Broncos, Philadelphia Eagles, Lions and 49ers. ...

Patriots TE coach Nick Caley also said to have interviewed for the OC job. Coming from New England makes him sound like more of a Caserio guy unlike the others who seem like they have connections to DeMeco.

Kenyon Green should be flattered by all of the #59 jerseys that are going to be at NRG. Just like Jonathan Wells and all of the #32s the first year.

It's a problem for me that their offense was a train wreck and both of his offensive bosses got fired. Then he got passed over to replace them. Not sure what about his work in NE could make him qualified for a promotion.

Kray is maybe best known as the Bumpboxx boombox-carrying guy from the Niners.

@TomPelissero
As new #Texans coach DeMeco Ryans sorts out his staff, he is retaining head strength and conditioning coach Mike Eubanks, who has been with the team since 2018. Some continuity amidst a lot of changes in Houston.

Warren will have some A&M connections to share on this one. And suffice it to say, Pep Hamilton will not return to the Texans this season.
