Another 49ers assistant coach is heading to Houston. New Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans is set to hire former 49ers defensive backs coach Cory Undlin as their new defensive passing game coordinator per Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 in Houston.
Undlin spent the last two seasons with the 49ers as their defensive backs coach and defensive pass game specialist. He helped oversee the development of DBs Deommodore Lenoir and Talanoa Hufanga. The 49ers this season allowed the fifth-fewest passing TDs and hauled in a league-high 20 interceptions.
Prior to his arrival in San Francisco, Undlin was the defensive coordinator for a Lions defense that finished last in points and yards allowed. Now he’ll get another shot to carve out a significant role under Ryans following two years of working alongside him when Ryans joined the 49ers as their defensive coordinator.
Ryans also hired 49ers offensive passing game coordinator Bobby Slowik to be the Texans’ offensive coordinator, along with a couple of lower level assistants Nick Kray and Stephen Adegoke. Kray was Kyle Shanahan’s chief of staff. Agedoke was a defensive quality control coach.
