Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans announced on Wednesday that he will assume responsibility for the team’s defensive play‑calling, a shift that comes as the franchise struggles with an 0‑4 record to start the season.
The Texans, one of the National Football League’s 32 clubs, have failed to secure a win in their first four games, prompting the coaching staff to make adjustments in an effort to improve on‑field performance.
Until now, defensive play‑calling had been delegated to the team’s defensive coordinator, but Ryans said he will take over those duties himself moving forward.
Ryans told reporters that the decision reflects his desire to directly influence the defensive strategy and address the shortcomings that have contributed to the early‑season losses.
The move signals a proactive approach by the Texans’ leadership as they look to reverse their fortunes and become more competitive in the remaining schedule.
