As soon as once more, ESPN analyst Rex Ryan is making an attempt to return to an NFL sideline.
On Monday, Ryan advised Jake Asman of WHSQ-AM in New York that he expects to talk with the Jets for his or her head-coaching opening after the common season ends.
The Jets (4-12) fired head coach Robert Saleh on Oct. 8. In 11 video games underneath interim HC Jeff Ulbrich, they’ve gone 2-9.
Ryan was Jets HC from 2009-14, guiding the workforce to 2 AFC Championship video games in his first two seasons. He additionally served as Buffalo Payments HC for 2 seasons however went 15-16 and was fired after Week 16 in 2016.
The thirty third Crew’s Mike Tannenbaum — Jets normal supervisor from 2006-12 — helps the group seek for its subsequent coach and normal supervisor. After all, Ryan and Tannenbaum have some historical past, however anticipate the Jets to move on him.
Coaches who attempt to return from an extended hiatus can fail miserably. In 2006, the Raiders rehired Artwork Shell as HC after a six-year break. He went 2-14 and was canned after one season.
That might clarify why the Denver Broncos and the Dallas Cowboys did not rent Ryan when he interviewed for his or her defensive coordinator openings in 2023 and 2024.
Regardless, Ryan does not appear to be the Jets’ high candidate. On Monday, NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero tweeted they’re scheduled to interview former Panthers/Commanders HC Ron Rivera this week. In 13 seasons (2011-23), Rivera led the Panthers to Tremendous Bowl 50 and gained Coach of the Yr twice.
Connor Hughes of SNY-TV in New York just lately reported former Tennessee Titans HC Mike Vrabel is the goal “[the Jets] covet probably the most.” From 2018-23, Vrabel went 54-45 and made three playoff journeys.
Both Vrabel or Rivera could be a greater choice than Ryan. The Jets have not made the playoffs since 2010, the longest lively drought within the NFL. They want somebody who hasn’t been out of the league for eight years to interrupt it.
