Ryan showed the ability to win with a rookie quarterback during his time with the Jets. Twice during his
tenure in New York, the Jets started a rookie at quarterback, making Ryan the only head coach in the Super Bowl era to start a rookie quarterback in at least
10 games in two of his first five seasons in the league.
Ryans success with Mark Sanchez (2009) and Geno
Smith (2013) made him the only head coach in the
Super Bowl era to win eight-or-more games with a
rookie quarterback in two different seasons.
Before becoming the head coach of the Jets, Ryan
spent 10 seasons (1999-2008) with the Ravens.
During that time, the Ravens ranked first in the NFL
in fewest points allowed (17.1 points per game),
fewest rushing yards allowed (87.3 yards per game),
most shutouts (9), most takeaways (337), most
interceptions (212), most interceptions returned for
touchdowns (29) and third-down conversion defense
(33.9%). They also ranked second in total defense
(280.7 yards per game) and fourth in sacks (416) in
that span.
Ryan began his Ravens career as the defensive line
coach for Brian Billick in 1999, when the Ravens defense finished second in the NFL in total defense and
second against the run. In 2000, the defense allowed
the fewest points in a 16-game season in NFL history
(165) en route to winning Super Bowl XXXV.
Ryan was promoted to defensive coordinator in 2005.
During his four seasons in that role, the Ravens finished fifth (2005), first (2006), sixth (2007) and second
(2008) in total defense. In 2006, the Ravens defense
allowed only 201 points and 264 yards per game, and
Ryan was named NFL Assistant Coach of the Year
by Pro Football Weekly and the Pro Football Writers
Association.
In 2008, new Ravens head coach John Harbaugh
named Ryan assistant head coach/defensive coordinator. That season, the Ravens defense led the league
with 34 takeaways, 26 interceptions, a 60.6 opponents
