Rex Ryan (born December 13, 1962 in Ardmore, Oklahoma) is an American football coach, the current Assistant Head Coach/Defensive Coordinator of the Baltimore Ravens. He is the son of former Philadelphia Eagles and Arizona Cardinals head coach Buddy Ryan and is the twin brother of Rob Ryan, defensive coordinator for the Oakland Raiders.

College

Ryan attended Southwestern Oklahoma State University and was a letterman in football. He earned both a bachelor of science and master's degree (1988) in physical education from Eastern Kentucky.

Coaching career

Rex Ryan finished his 9th year with the Ravens in 2007, his third as the defensive coordinator. Ryan was the only remaining Ravens' assistant coach from the 2000 Super Bowl XXXV season's record setting defense. Rex had spent 6 seasons as the Ravens' line coach.

On December 31, 2007, Ravens head coach Brian Billick, along with the entire coaching staff, was fired after a disappointing 5-11 season. Ryan interviewed with the Ravens for their head coaching vacancy, which eventually went to John Harbaugh, despite Ryan having the support of most of the players on the team. Ryan also interviewed with Miami and Atlanta, but neither team hired him. Miami hired Tony Sparano, the former assistant coach for the Dallas Cowboys. Atlanta hired Mike Smith, the former defensive coordinator for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

On Monday, January 28, Ravens' head coach John Harbaugh rehired Ryan as Defensive Coordinator, and gave him a promotion to Assistant Head Coach.
