The longest five minutes of the offseason is finally over.

According to FOX’s Jay Glazer, Ryan has accepted the Saints defensive coordinator job.

This one was decreed “basically a done deal,” a few days ago, but the Saints went through the process of interviewing others anwyay.

Having the boisterous Ryan brother in New Orleans during Mardi Gras weekend was apparently enough to sell him on the job of remaking a defense that set a league record for yards allowed last year.
