Good stuff Justin. I'm not the biggest fan of Rex Ryan's bombast so I would have not been inclined to think very highly of another coaches son. It's admirable that Seth seems to be trying to carve out his own space in the league. Makes me root for him a bit.
There's a reason why this feature is my favorite. There are more people why the Lions are successful beyond the head coach and both coordinators. This series highlights them. They are part of the reason why I'm confident that the team will continue to be successful.
My instinct is to resist joining the amen chorus, but this is an excellent story. And revealing, too. We have all read a thousand column inches on Ben Johnson's trick plays, but this was the first instance I can recall hearing about Seth Ryan's role in curating them. Media narratives these days are often just more of the same, amplifying the echo of what other platforms have said. Thank you for going behind the cliches, Justin. This series is a prime example.
Wow, what an excellent read. You are really knocking it out of the park with this series. Probably an underappreciated aspect of the changes for the Lions this year was the turnover for the entire staff other than the OC & DC. I continue to be super impressed with the coaching staff Dan has assembled, which is a big reason why I am so confident about this team despite playing poorly at GB. Bravo!
His grandfather helped beat up lots of those 70s and 80s Lions teams when he coached the Vikings and Bears D. Good to see that Ryan DNA working for the Lions this time around. I do wonder, given Seth’s comments here, how much information receivers can absorb and apply in game situations? That’s a heavy mental workload. Also, Dan Campbell needs to write a book. And he could probably use a great co-writer (hint, hint, Justin).
Great article, Justin! I knew he was there, as it comes up occasionally on ESPN, and I was really curious how he was doing. You paint a detailed picture of a guy who’s working hard to make it on his own and succeeding. Thanks!☺️

I wear wondering why he didn’t get a promotion with all of the departures. tThis article answered that question brilliantly.

Oh, one more thing...I never knew that Hank was related to the Kiss guitarist... 😜
I knew he coached for Detroit but had no clue what he did. Figured defense lol. Great article.
