Rob Ryan is best known for the 20-plus years he's spent bouncing around NFL staffs, but the 62-year-old son of Buddy Ryan (and brother of Rex) has a college football background. He made his official return to college ball on Saturday, as the newest member of Lincoln Riley's staff at USC.
"Rob Ryan is one of the most accomplished defensive coaches in NFL history," Riley said in a statement. "With over two decades of NFL experience, he will immediately bolster our staff as we continue our climb here at USC. He has coached some of the NFL's top players, including numerous Hall of Famers and All-Pro selections. We're thrilled to welcome Coach Ryan and his family to our program."
