While it’s now apparent defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn is sticking around Detroit for at least another season, the Lions could still lose an assistant coach in the coming days.
Per a report from Adam Schefter that was quickly verified by other media, the New York Jets have requested permission from the Lions to interview assistant wide receivers coach Seth Ryan for their WR coach vacancy.
Ryan came to the Lions with the onset of the Dan Campbell regime in 2021 and has been in the assistant WR coach role for the last two years. Prior to that, he worked under ex-offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn with the Los Angeles Chargers. He is the son of longtime NFL coach Rex Ryan.
The Jets have an opening after WR coach Miles Austin was let go following a gambling-related suspension.
