Slowik's career is interesting. He was apart of that clique in Washington with Shanahan, McVay & McDaniel. Slowik is intriguing because he started off on the defensive side of the football coaching wise and he's struck Gold now in one year. 

I think he'll probably stick it out a little bit longer in Houston as well. Amazing Washington had that much talent just standing around on the sideline and somehow, someway, they replaced Mike Shanahan with Jay Gruden.

That definitely would be a great outcome!

The Texans certainly hit Home Runs with DeMeco Ryans, Bobby Slowik, and CJ Stroud.  If Slowik leaves Houston for an NFL HC job, the decision by Ryans on who to hire to replace Slowik would rank near the top of the list of the key 2024 off-season decisions in the AFC.  

Mike Shanahan did indeed put together a heck of a young coaching staff in Washington. I think all of these high caliber coaches benefited greatly by leaving Washington, compared to remaining in that organization even as HC.
