Redskins hire former long-time NFL defensive coordinator Rob Ryan to coach inside linebackers

The Redskins started the offseason off by making some questionable decisions with their coaching staff. Now, it appears that they are making some solid moves. Just a day after retaining defensive line coach Jim Tomsula and promoting quarterbacks coach Kevin O’Connell to offensive coordinator, the team has added another intriguing name to their coaching staff. That would be former Saints defensive coordinator Rob Ryan.

On Wednesday, the Redskins announced via their official Twitter that Ryan had been hired. Most recently, Ryan worked as an assistant head coach in charge of defense for his brother Rex with the Bills.
