Former NFL head coach and current ESPN analyst Rex Ryan interviewed Saturday in Denver for the Broncos' defensive coordinator job on Sean Payton's staff, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Ryan and former Broncos head coach Vance Joseph are among a handful of candidates for the job. Joseph, who had been the Arizona Cardinals' defensive coordinator since 2019, also is expected to interview for the Philadelphia Eagles' defensive coordinator position, according to multiple reports.
Ryan, 60, has told ESPN he would only leave the network "for the perfect situation," Schefter reported.
He joined ESPN in April 2017 after a nearly 30-year coaching career that included eight seasons as an NFL head coach with the New York Jets (2009-14) and Buffalo Bills (2015-16).
