Those aren't the only teams Ryans will speak with ahead of this weekend's elimination game. According to Rapoport's colleague, Tom Pelissero, the coach will interview with the Arizona Cardinals and Indianapolis Colts this week too.
The Carolina Panthers have also expressed interest in Ryans but aren't expected to host the 49ers defensive coordinator at this time. The Charlotte Observer reports that "logistics" is the reason for the Panthers stalling on Ryans.
"Both parties could circle back later in the process," wrote Mike Kaye.
Last offseason, Ryans turned down a second interview with the Minnesota Vikings, opting to remain with the 49ers for another year. Ryans feels he's ready to make the leap from coordinator to head coach this year.
"Yeah, I'm ready to go do it," Ryans recently told ESPN. "... It'll be the first time. But I figured out everything else. I'm pretty sure I'll figure that out, too."
