Maybe he can call plays and take some pressure off of McD. I’m really surprised he took a demotion though. Great pick up , IMO.
There were rumors he got into an altercation with Stroud. Stroud didn't take the leap that most people expected so I wonder how much of it was Slowik or Stroud not being coachable. Anyway, I like the move. A young, experienced coach who has called plays and someone familiar with McDaniel can only help.
The Texans’ offense under him was humming just one season ago. Lots of injuries to WRs and a poor showing by the OL meant no repeat performance. Was surprised to see him let go, but if in fact there was conflict between him and Stroud, he’s going to lose that one every time. Seems like it could be a low key yet very impactful signing.
Bobby Slowik is getting a new start in Miami. Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that Slowik has taken a a job as the Dolphins’ senior passing game coordinator. He reunites with Mike McDaniel, who Slowik worked with in San Francisco. Slowik, 37, interviewed for several head coaching openings a year ago after C.J. Stroud won offensive rookie of the year. The Texans fired him after Stroud regressed in his second season, and the team finished 19th in points and 22nd in yards after being 13th and 12th respectively in the same categories in 2023. Slowik was hired in Kyle Shanahan’s first season with San Francisco, serving as a defensive quality control coach before moving over to become an offensive assistant in 2019. He became the team’s offensive passing game coordinator in 2022 before heading to Houston with DeMeco Ryans in 2023.
