Why are the Houston Texans starting the DeMeco Ryans press conference at 3:59 pm CT?

The Houston Texans are introducing DeMeco Ryans as their sixth full-time coach in team history on Feb. 2.

The time is unconventional as the Texans have set the press conference at 3:59 p.m. Central Time.

Why is the presser set for such a strange time? It isn’t like Ryans came from the Tom Coughlin coaching tree. The former Jacksonville Jaguars and New York Giants coach used to consider being five minutes early as being on time.

According to Aaron Wilson from KPRC-TV, the reason the Texans are starting the presser at 3:59 is to honor Ryans’ jersey number with the team. The former 2006 second-round pick from Alabama wore No. 59 for all 86 career games with Houston from 2006-11.

Currently guard Kenyon Green wears No. 59 for the Texans. Time will tell whether he switches it out or continues to wear it and build upon his coach’s legacy with the number.
