He is the son of former Philadelphia Eagles and Arizona Cardinals head coach Buddy Ryan and is the twin brother of NFL assistant coach Rob Ryan.

Ryan grew up with dreams of becoming a professional football coach. He began his journey attending Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire, Illinois, where he played defensive end at Southwestern Oklahoma State University in Weatherford, Oklahoma, alongside his twin brother Rob.

Ryan coached at Division I-AA (now Division I FCS) Eastern Kentucky and Division II New Mexico Highlands before joining the Division I ranks as a defensive coordinator for Morehead State in 1990. Following his initial NFL coaching experience, Ryan served as the defensive coordinator at Cincinnati and Oklahoma.

Ryan’s first major stint in the NFL came as a defensive line/linebackers coach for the Arizona Cardinals from 1994 to 1995, when his father, Buddy, was head coach.

Ryan joined the Baltimore Ravens in 1999 as a defensive line coach and won a championship in Super Bowl XXXV. He was promoted to defensive coordinator in 2005. In 2008, the Ravens entire coaching staff was fired following a 5-11 season, but Ryan was retained as defensive coordinator under new head coach John Harbaugh.

After the New York Jets fired head coach Eric Mangini, Ryan accepted the opportunity to be the team’s head coach. Ryan saw great success in his first two years with the Jets, leading to the team to the AFC Championship in 2010 and 2011. In the past, Ryan has said many times that the Jets are a Super Bowl-caliber team, and has become a popular figure among many fans and media with his bold, tell-it-like-it-is comments.
