Bobby Slowik is back on his feet and with a fellow former San Francisco 49ers coach.
Again.
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the former Houston Texans offensive coordinator is joining the Miami Dolphins as a senior passing game coordinator for the 2025 season, reuniting him with former 49ers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel.
Slowik, 37, was now tasked with helping Tua Tagovialoa continue his progression as a top-tier quarterback in the AFC East. He was fired after two seasons as the mastermind behind the Texans’ offense that secured two division titles but struggled to find consistency.

Slowik worked with Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel during their time together in San Francisco. He eventually served as the 49ers pass game coordinator after McDaniel left the Bay Area to become Miami’s head coach in 2022.
A once sought-after head coaching candidate following C.J. Stroud’s breakout rookie season, Slowik and the Texans never regained that spark. Stroud, who became the fifth passer in league history to throw for over 4,000 yards, stalled in his development and somewhat regressed en route to a second postseason appearance.
As a whole, the offensive production took a dip. In 2023, Houston ranked 12th in yards per game (342.4) and 13th in points per game (22.2). Last season, the Texans finished 22nd in yards per game (319.7), 21st in passing yards per game (207.4), and 19th in scoring (21.9 points).

I’m told there are no changes to Darrell Bevell’s title — he’s been the Dolphins’ QB coach and pass game coordinator since 2022

In Miami, Bobby will reunite with his brother, Ryan Slowik. Ryan serves as the Dolphins defensive backs coach and pass game specialist. He’ll have a cast of weapons to work with on offense, including All-Pro receiver Tyreek Hill and Pro Bowl targets Jaylen Waddle and Jonnu Smith.
The Texans recently hired Los Angeles Rams tight ends coach and passing coordinator Nick Caley as Slowik’s replacement.
