DeMeco Ryans’ introduction as the Houston Texans coach brought him back to his early days as a 49ers assistant, and, specifically, to his mentorship of linebacker Fred Warner.

That coach-player relationship molded both into the elite of their profession. After all, Ryans went from a 10-year NFL linebacker to an entry-level coach, to becoming a head coach after just two seasons as the 49ers’ defensive coordinator. Warner morphed from a 2018 third-round draft pick into a two-time All-Pro making almost $19 million annually.

“When people say they’re not good enough, that excites me the most. I know what it takes,” Ryans began. “It just takes time, it takes belief, it takes pouring everything you have into a young man, like a Fred Warner, who was a third-round pick. “And I saw a guy who truly just allowed me to coach him. I coached him hard sometimes. It’s a fine line of coaching hard and loving hard. Now to say he’s the best linebacker in the NFL, I pride myself in that.
