Star lineman says Texans HC DeMeco Ryans has changed the team’s vibe

DeMeco Ryans knew he had his work cut out when he left the San Francisco 49ers to become the head coach of the Houston Texans.

But in the six months since he took the job, Ryans has piloted a culture shift in Houston — one that Texans left tackle Laremy Tunsil called a breath of fresh air for the organization during a recent appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show.”

“It’s a whole new vibe, man,” Tunsil said. “DeMeco came in with that energy he brought from San Fran and just changed the whole vibe around the building, and that’s something that we needed, especially since these last past three years we’ve been in a rut. So, DeMeco comes in the building, he brought some new coaches, we’ve got some new players. Man, it’s just a whole new vibe that’s in that building. It feels great to be there.”
