Overview
- Seth Ryan was hired in February to serve as the New York Jets' pass game coordinator on Aaron Glenn's staff and is working with offensive coordinator Frank Reich and quarterbacks coach Bill Musgrave.
- He is the third generation of Ryans tied to the Jets, following grandfather Buddy and father Rex, and has said the job is personally important because he grew up in the area.
- Ryan broke with his family's defensive tradition by choosing to coach offense after playing wide receiver at Clemson and progressing from a 2017 Chargers internship to position roles with the Lions.
- He reunited professionally with Aaron Glenn after four years together in Detroit, and reporters noted a low‑key public approach from Ryan who made no bold guarantees about results.
- The Jets still face a long playoff drought dating to January 2011, so Ryan's role will be watched for how his passing plans affect game plans and the team's effort to return to the postseason.
