According to Adam Schefter, Seth Ryan joins the Jets after spending the past several seasons with the Detroit Lions, where he served in multiple offensive assistant roles. His coaching background includes work with wide receivers, tight ends, and offensive game planning at the NFL level.
Seth Ryan is the son of former Jets head coach Rex Ryan, who led the franchise from 2009 through 2014 and guided the team to back-to-back AFC Championship Game appearances. He is also the grandson of longtime NFL defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan, making him a third-generation NFL coach.
Ryan played wide receiver at Clemson before transitioning into coaching.
