Last year provided proof that Ryan's way can work. The Saints, who in 2012 were the NFL's last-ranked defense, climbed to fourth in Ryan's first season.
When Ryan was overseeing defenses for eight straight non-playoff teams in Oakland, Cleveland and Dallas, the knock on him was that his players sometimes struggled with the various pre-snap adjustments his defense requires. He also routinely asks players to line up in a number of different positions in a single game.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. (AP) — New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Rob Ryan shows as much interest in simplifying his notoriously complex schemes as he shows in cutting his long silver hair.
Last season, Ryan's first in New Orleans, he asked Kenny Vaccaro, then a rookie safety, to play not only both safety spots, but also to handle some cornerback and linebacker responsibilities.
"He always has the player's back," Vaccaro added. "He gives us the reins ... and he constantly stresses that players make his scheme."
"Being that this is Year 2 ... I would expect him to expand a lot more, which is going to keep people constantly guessing," said retired NFL linebacker Scott Fujita, who played for Ryan in Cleveland.
Fujita recalls Ryan getting teary-eyed in locker or meeting rooms when talking about the effort of a particular player who may have struggled in a recent game.
"We don't coach a brain-dead scheme," Ryan told The Associated Press on Tuesday during training camp at The Greenbrier resort. "We're going to coach good football and whatever our players can handle, that's what I'm going to give them."
Ryan said his defenses could work on any team, but stressed that the Saints provided "definitely the right environment" for him to thrive.

Perhaps a head coaching opportunity is on the horizon, but Ryan doesn't sound bothered by the fact he wasn't considered for one after last season.
"I love New Orleans, and it just happens to be an awesome city and they seem to appreciate just a good guy," Ryan said.
"We had a really smart group" last season, Ryan said. "Most people don't play nickel as much as we did. That really takes extra coaching and I wouldn't say we dialed anything back for that group — but I've definitely dialed it back before for other teams."
Vaccaro said Ryan "cares about his players more than anyone I've ever been around in my whole life."
"He put me in six positions and helped me pick it up," Vaccaro said, adding that players who characterize Ryan's schemes as too complicated could be making excuses for their own failures. "He provides us with the knowledge. ... We can get his scheme."
