They say twins know everything about one another. When asked at a season-ending press conference if his twin brother Rob would be opposed to having him as his boss, Bills head coach Rex Ryan said he probably would. Apparently there’s something that Rex doesn’t know about Rob because he accepted a position on Buffalo’s coaching staff over the weekend.
Rob Ryan was officially hired as Assistant head coach/Defense Sunday by the Bills. Ryan, 53, is an 18-year coaching veteran of the NFL, the last dozen of which have been spent as a defensive coordinator.
Among his more notable accomplishments was winning a pair of Super Bowl rings under Bill Belichick with the New England Patriots as linebackers coach from 2000-2003 where he helped to turn Willie McGinest and Tedy Bruschi into Pro Bowl linebackers.
