After spending the 2010 season as a video assistant, Slowik accepted his first NFL coaching position as a defensive assistant with the Washington Redskins in 2011 under head coach Mike Shanahan. Slowik remained on the coaching staff as a defensive assistant through the 2013 NFL season, after which Mike Shanahan was fired and Slowik was not retained.
Following his stint with the Redskins, Slowik spent 2014 through 2016 as an analyst with sports analytics company Pro Football Focus.[3] Slowik worked as a senior analyst at PFF, responsible for grading NFL players and reviewing the grading of other analysts.[4]
Following that stint, Slowik joined the San Francisco 49ers as a defensive quality control coach under head coach Kyle Shanahan in 2017 and 2018.[5] For the 2019 and 2020 NFL seasons, however, Slowik moved to the offensive side of the ball as an offensive assistant.[6] In 2021, upon the departure of offensive passing game coordinator Mike LaFleur, Slowik took on new responsibilities as the offensive passing game specialist.[7] In 2022, Slowik was promoted to offensive passing game coordinator.[8]
Slowik was hired as the offensive coordinator for the Houston Texans on February 12, 2023, by new head coach DeMeco Ryans, who Slowik had previously worked with in San Francisco.[9] Slowik was part of the staff that led the Texans to a 10–7 regular season finish, the AFC South title, and a Wild Card Round victory over the Cleveland Browns.[10] [11] [12] On January 30, 2024, Slowik signed with the Texans for another year going into the 2024 season.
