13 Jun
Summary
- Seth Ryan joins the Jets, continuing a multi-generational football coaching legacy.
- He aims to build his own success, choosing offense over defense.
- The Ryan family has a history of success with the Jets organization.
Seth Ryan has been appointed as the passing game coordinator for the New York Jets, embracing a rich family legacy in professional football. His grandfather, Buddy Ryan, was a defensive line coach for the Jets' Super Bowl-winning team in 1968, while his father, Rex Ryan, led the team to consecutive AFC Championship games in 2009 and 2010.
At 32, Seth Ryan is determined to establish his own coaching identity. Diverging from his family's defensive prowess, he has chosen to focus on offense. This decision reflects a personal philosophy passed down through generations, emphasizing continuous improvement.
The Ryan family's association with the Jets has historically coincided with successful periods for the organization. His appointment is seen as a beacon of hope for a franchise aiming to end its long playoff drought.
Teammates and colleagues have expressed confidence in Ryan's abilities. Quarterbacks coach Bill Musgrave noted the addition of "Detroit Lions wrinkles," while former coach Aaron Glenn lauded Ryan as a future "hell of a coach." Ryan himself expressed a strong desire to "build and replicate" the past successes of his family with the Jets.
