Cleveland Browns could hire defensive, offensive coordinators as soon as today

Cleveland Plain Dealer
"The Browns could announce the hiring of defensive coordinator Rob Ryan and offensive coordinator Brian Daboll as early as today, a source close to the situation said Monday.

Ryan, the former defensive coordinator of the Oakland Raiders, and Daboll, former quarterbacks coach for the New York Jets, already have been in Cleveland with new coach Eric Mangini doing some preliminary work in their new roles, a source said. Daboll may have returned to New York, but Ryan is still here digging into the defense.

Ryan is the son of Buddy Ryan, architect of the famed Chicago Bears defense on the 1985 Super Bowl champions, and the twin brother of Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan.

Rex Ryan is a candidate for the Jets' head coaching position, and there had been reports Rob might join him if Rex gets the job. Rob, however, is believed to be committed to Mangini, a source said.

Rob Ryan has 21 years of coaching experience at the college and NFL levels, including five years as Oakland's coordinator and four seasons as New England's linebackers coach from 2000-03, where he worked with Mangini and won two Super Bowls. In 2003, the Patriots defense ranked first in the NFL with 238 points allowed."
