The Washington Redskins added another former defensive coordinator - and a lot of flare - to their staff by hiring Rob Ryan Wednesday. Ryan will serve as their inside linebackers coach.
Ryan has not coached in the NFL since 2016 when he served as Buffalo's assistant head coach/defense. He had interviewed for the Redskins then-vacant defensive coordinator job after that season, but the position went to Greg Manusky instead. The Redskins interviewed several people this offseason as possible replacements for Manusky, but he remains in charge. Ryan is well-versed in the Redskins' base 3-4 defense, having run a version of it himself.
