San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans has been named the Professional Football Writers of America (PFWA) NFL Assistant Coach of the Year.
"Ryans is in his second season as the 49ers defensive coordinator after three seasons as inside linebackers coach and one season as a defensive quality control coach," wrote the Professional Football Writers of America via a statement. "He helped lead San Francisco's defense to NFL bests in yards allowed per game (300.6), points allowed per game (16.3), turnover margin (+13) and giveaway points allowed (23). The 16.3 points allowed per game and 77.7 rushing yards allowed per game (second in the NFL) were the lowest for the 49ers since 2011. San Francisco also registered a league-high 20 interceptions. Defensive end
Nick Bosa led the league with 18.5 sacks on the way to PFWA NFL Defensive Player of the Year, All-NFL and All-NFC honors, while middle linebacker
Fred Warner and safety
Talanoa Hufanga were All-NFL and All-NFC choices."
Ryans has been with the 49ers since 2017, replacing current New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh as defensive coordinator in 2021. His defense finished the 2022 regular season ranked No. 1 in points and yards allowed per game. Before serving as defensive coordinator, Ryans served as a linebackers coach (2018-20) and a defensive quality control coach (2017).
Ryans is also a finalist for the Associated Press NFL Assistant Coach of the Year. He is up against Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Shane Steichen.
