Rex Ryan interviewing for Broncos’ defensive coordinator position

Rex Ryan may be back in the coaching arena.

The former New York Jets head coach and fan favorite has been an analyst for ESPN since 2017. Rex is still known for his bold takes and brashness, although he’s curbed it a bit in front of the microphone.

Now, with Sean Payton’s return from retirement to coach the Denver Broncos, Ryan is heading over for an interview to become Payton’s defensive coordinator, FOX’s Jay Glazer reports.
