Former Houston Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik has landed in Miami as senior passing game coordinator, according to an NFL Network report on Tuesday, reuniting him with Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel.

The Texans fired Slowik, 37, last month after two seasons as offensive coordinator. Houston's offense took a downturn following quarterback C.J. Stroud's impressive rookie season, finishing 19th in the NFL in average points per game (21.9) and 22nd in total yards (319.7) in 2024. The Texans ranked 13th and 12th in those categories, respectively, in 2023.

Houston went 10-7 last season, capturing the AFC South title and beating the Los Angeles Chargers 32-12 in the wild-card round before being eliminated 23-14 by the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional playoffs.

Prior to arriving in Houston, Slowik spent six years in San Francisco, where McDaniel was the 49ers' run game coordinator from 2017-2020 and offensive coordinator in 2021 before taking the helm in Miami in 2022.

Slowik served in a variety of roles for the 49ers. He started as a defensive quality control coach (2017-18) then became the team's offensive assistant (2019-20), passing game specialist (2021), and passing game coordinator (2022).

He began his NFL coaching career as a defensive assistant for three seasons with the Washington franchise (2011-13).
