New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Rob Ryan was rollicking at LSU coaches clinic
 

When New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Rob Ryan agreed to speak at the LSU high school coaches clinic Thursday, Tigers coach Les Miles knew what he was getting. And Ryan delivered as only Ryan can.

For more than an hour, the high school coaches in attendance were treated to a rollicking and ribald address from the energetic, fun-loving assistant who just finished his first season with the Saints.

In the process of restoring defensive pride to a unit that was the worst in NFL history in 2012, it's clear he's no lower than the third favorite member of the Saints behind iconic quarterback Drew Brees and head coach Sean Payton. His flowing white hair and the fact he's the twin brother of New York Jets coach Rex Ryan does hurt his popularity, either.

As much fun as he was having, Ryan made sure to remind everyone he knows where his bread is buttered. He's clearly happy to be in New Orleans and not only because of the festive reputation and plethora of parades.

"Sean Payton is the best coach I've ever coached for and I've coached for Bill Belichik," Ryan said early in his speech.
