DeMeco Ryans’ remarkable performance as the San Francisco 49ers’ defensive coordinator in 2021 increased his reputation as a touchline leader and now he is the head coach of the Houston Texans. The 39-year-old has, since his appointment, played a pivotal role in the Texans’ journey this season.
With the focus on Ryans intensifying, fans are eager to discover more about his personal life, including details about his wife, Jamila.
Here’s everything we know about the good people behind the coach...
DeMeco’s low profile family
Reports indicate that DeMeco Ryans and Jamila, his wife who has been with him since the linebacker made his transition to a managerial role, crossed paths during his time playing for the Houston Texans; the two are said to have eventually tied the knot in Pearland, Texas, on June 29, 2013. Jamila, who prefers to keep a low profile and abstains from social media, is a registered nurse, and also serves as a non-profit director at the DeMeco Ryans Foundation.
The Ryans have two sons, MJ and Micah, along with a daughter named Xia. Jamila herself has two younger brothers, Jonathan and Jason White.
DeMeco himself is a frequent Twitter user, although he refrains from giving away family information and posting photos of his wife and children. However, after a quick scroll, I did find some gems...
When do the Houston Texans play next?
The Houston Texans are set to take on the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Divisional round of the NFL Playoffs on Saturday 20 January 2024 at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland, with kick-off at 4:30 p.m. ET / 1:30 p.m. PT. The Texans and the Ravens have faced each other once this season, with the Ravens winning 25-9.
It promises to be a hugely entertaining clash, with CJ Stroud leading the Houston side and at the opposite end of the pitch, Lamar Jackson is set to be a worthy opponent to Stroud and someone who will only add to the wildly anticipated spectacle at M&T Bank Stadium.
