Ryans, who played his college football at Alabama, will be heading back home to where his professional career began when he was drafted by the Texans in 2006. He would then spend six years in Houston followed by an additional four years with the Philadelphia Eagles before his playing career came to a close.
Since then Ryans has served as the 49ers linebackers coach from 2018-20, before being promoted to the team’s defensive coordinator position where he has served since. In his short stint as a defensive signal caller, Ryans has been in command of one of the league’s most dominating units.
