Rex Ryan to interview for Jets head coach job Tuesday: Reports
A Rex Ryan return to the New York Jets' sideline is very much on the table, according to the latest reports.
Saturday morning, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that the Jets' former head coach was set to interview with his old team for its head coach vacancy on Tuesday. This latest piece of news comes less than a week after Ryan said he "expected" to get an interview to return to New York.
Ryan, 62, currently serves as an analyst for ESPN and has made common appearances on programs such as "Get Up" and "Sunday NFL Countdown." He coached the Jets from 2009-2014, compiling a 46-50 record with two AFC championship appearances in six years.
