DeMeco Ryans isn’t just looking at the San Francisco 49ers for his assistant coaches as he assembles his first Houston Texans staff.
According to Aaron Wilson from KPRC-TV, the Texans completed an interview with Cincinnati Bengals receivers coach Troy Walters.
Walters has no experience coaching with Ryans as he was on the Bengals’ staff working with receivers in some capacity the past two seasons. However, he is grafted into the Mike Shanahan coaching tree via Sean McVay of the Los Angeles Rams. Through Cincinnati coach Zac Taylor, who was on the Rams’ staff from 2017-18, is where Walters has his tenuous link to the offensive system that the 49ers are running with Kyle Shanahan.
The former A&M Consolidated High School product played in the NFL from 2000-07, and then held sundry coaching jobs in the college ranks from 2009-19.
The current receivers coach is Ben McDaniels, who also serves as the pass game coordinator.
