Years after Jim Ryan carved out a 10-year career from 1979-88 as a linebacker for the Broncos, he returned to Colorado to begin a lengthy coaching stint. Ryan served as Regis Jesuit High School’s head coach from 2002-04, and he then rejoined the Broncos, where he served in a variety of roles on the coaching staff from 2004-08.
Ryan was back at UCHealth Training Center on Tuesday, when he took in practice and visited with former teammate Gary Kubiak and former coworker Vance Joseph.
Following practice, he visited with DenverBroncos.com about working with Joseph in Houston, what it was like to be back at Denver’s facility and what he remembers from the two Super Bowls (XXI and XXII) in which he played.
