The New York Jets have brought in Seth Ryan as their new passing-game coordinator, according to sources. This move continues a unique family legacy within the franchise. Seth, son of former Jets head coach Rex Ryan, fills the role vacated by Scott Turner. The younger Ryan's hiring marks a significant moment for the team and its fans due to his family's history.

Seth Ryan's father, Rex Ryan, coached the Jets from 2009 to 2014. Rex's father, Buddy Ryan, also coached for the Jets in 1968. The Jets hope Seth can bring fresh ideas to the offense. He comes from the Detroit Lions, where he served as an assistant coach. The Jets are aiming to improve their passing game and overall offensive performance in the upcoming season.

This marks a rare instance of three generations coaching for the same NFL team. The Jets are seeking a return to the playoffs, a feat they haven't achieved since 2010. The team is hoping the new coaching staff, including Ryan, can help quarterback Aaron Rodgers lead the Jets to success. The pressure is on to contend immediately.
