Rob Ryan, newly appointed linebackers coach at USC, actively engages with players during drills, exhibiting the enthusiasm and technique expected from a coach much younger than his 62 years. His positive attitude significantly motivates players like Eric Gentry and has earned their respect. Known for his authenticity and experience from a family rich in coaching, Ryan emphasizes game fundamentals, such as the importance of angles in football. His reputation and fiery personality resonate with players, adding to USC's coaching staff dynamics under defensive coordinator D'Anthony Lynn.
"His attitude is contagious. He's always a positive guy. He's always out there with a big smile, he's loud, stuff like that gets you to want to play harder for coaches like that."
"However y'all see him in those videos, that's exactly how he is. He's the same person, no matter if he's with the president or whoever. It doesn't really matter to him. He's going to be authentic no matter what."
