Ryan, however, appears ready to land on his feet. According to New York-area reports, New York Jets defensive coordinator Bob Sutton is expected to lose his job. And the Tribune reported that according to sources, Ryan will succeed Sutton in New York.

First move of the off season and it is a great one, Not only do we get rid of Sutton but we get a guy that actually knows how to run a defense. He has done an amazing job in Oakland and it should only carry over. There is also talks that Nnamdi Asomugha will terminate his contract early and that is only a plus having Ryan here. I love this move.
