NFL Rumors: Texans' Bobby Slowik to Meet with Commanders, Seahawks, Falcons About HC

After the Houston Texans were eliminated from the playoffs with Saturday's AFC Divisional Round loss to the Baltimore Ravens, offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik is now turning his attention to pursuing a head coaching job.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Slowik has three interviews scheduled for Sunday with the Seattle Seahawks, Washington Commanders and Atlanta Falcons regarding their head coach openings.

Schefter noted that Slowik has also already met with the Tennessee Titans and Carolina Panthers for interviews this past week.

A longtime assistant who began his coaching career in the NFL in 2011 with the Washington Commanders, Slowik spent time on the San Francisco 49ers coaching staff before accompanying DeMeco Ryans to Houston when he was named head coach of the Texans. In his first year as an offensive coordinator, Slowik excelled and established himself as one of the top head coaching candidates in the league.

The 36-year-old presided over a Houston offense that ranked 12th in the NFL with 342.4 yards per game this season. It was a massive turnaround for a unit that ranked 31st in 2022 with 283.5 yards per game.

Slowik was instrumental in the development of Texans star rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud, who is the frontrunner for Offensive Rookie of the Year. The 2023 No. 2 pick finished eighth in the NFL with 4,108 passing yards while adding 23 touchdowns against just five interceptions in 15 games this season. Stroud propelled Houston to a 10-7 record and the team's first playoff appearance since 2019, defeating the Cleveland Browns in the wild-card round.

It appears that Slowik will have a slew of options available to him in the head coaching market this offseason, so it will be interesting to see where he ends up.
