Breaking News: Houston Texans Head Coach DeMeco Ryans Signs 6-Year Contract Extension
Houston, TX — May 10, 2025
In a major move signaling stability and long-term vision, the Houston Texans have officially announced that head coach DeMeco Ryans has signed a six-year contract extension, keeping him at the helm of the franchise through the 2031 season.
Ryans, a former Texans linebacker and beloved figure in Houston, returned to the organization as head coach in 2023. In just two seasons, he has transformed the Texans into a rising force in the AFC, earning widespread praise for his leadership, defensive prowess, and ability to connect with players.
“This is home,” Ryans said in a statement released by the team. “Houston means everything to me and my family. I’m proud of what we’ve built so far, but we’re just getting started. I’m thankful to the McNair family and the entire organization for their belief in me.”
Since taking over, Ryans has guided the Texans to back-to-back winning seasons and a playoff berth in 2024, the team’s first since 2019. His strong partnership with general manager Nick Caserio and the rapid development of quarterback C.J. Stroud have drawn comparisons to some of the league’s most successful coach-QB duos.
Texans Chair and CEO Cal McNair praised Ryans’ impact on and off the field: “DeMeco has brought a culture of excellence, discipline, and belief to this team. He embodies what it means to be a Houston Texan. We’re excited to continue this journey with him leading the way.”
The extension is seen as a critical step in the Texans’ strategy to build a sustainable contender. It also sends a strong message of continuity in an NFL landscape often marked by coaching turnover.
Fans, players, and analysts alike have responded positively, with many crediting Ryans for revitalizing the team’s identity and bringing renewed energy to NRG Stadium.
The Texans are coming off a 10-7 season and are poised to make another playoff push in 2025, with young stars on both sides of the ball and a coach who has quickly become one of the most respected figures in the league.
With this extension, Houston has firmly committed to the Ryans era — one that began with hope and now moves forward with a clear vision for championship contention.
