The Baltimore Ravens made a number of new coaching hires this offseason. Most of the buzz, though, has centered around Wide Receivers Coach Tee Martin and Passing Game Specialist Keith Williams. However, there’s arguably an equal level of excitement about the impact and influence of one of the newest defensive assistant coaches.
Long-time NFL coach Rob Ryan was hired by the Ravens this offseason to replace Mike Macdonald as the inside linebackers coach. Macdonald went down to the college level to become the defensive coordinator at the University of Michigan.
Ryan is the twin brother of former Ravens coach Rex Ryan, who was the team’s defensive coordinator from 2005-2008 and the son of legendary coach Buddy Ryan.
