Report: Texans to interview Cardinals DL coach Matt Burke for defensive coordinator

The Houston Texans are taking a look at Arizona Cardinals DL coach Matt Burke for their defensive coordinator role under new coach DeMeco Ryans.

According to Aaron Wilson from KPRC-TV, the Texans are set to interview Arizona Cardinals defensive line coach Matt Burke for their defensive coordinator opening.

Burke doesn’t have coaching experience with Ryans, but he does have familiarity with the system. Before taking the Cardinals position, Burke was the “game management coach” for the New York Jets under first-year coach Robert Saleh in 2021. The Jets finished 4-13 that season.
