Ryan was the Raiders defensive coordinator for five years with little success. He is responsible for the last Raiders defense to finish top ten in Football outsiders DVOA. The 2006 year, they finished 4th in overall passing DVOA.
The haters will say it’s because teams could just run, but he won’t be calling plays. It is a minor role for the son of legend Buddy Ryan, but he does have defensive wisdom he can bring to the table.
The Raiders will continue to add to the coaching staff with the offensive side missing offensive line and the offensive coordinator. Stay tuned for all the updates
