Rex Ryan, the colorful NFL coach, son of Buddy and brother of Rob, is now entertaining job offers after an early sacking by the Buffalo Bills.
While his head coaching resume is pretty checkered — two great seasons to start followed by years of mediocrity and controversy — no one doubts Ryan’s abilities as a defensive coordinator.
Ryan held that post at five colleges and for four years with the Baltimore Ravens. In between, he was defensive line coach on the Ravens team that won Super Bowl XXXV on the backs of their top-rated defense, holding the Giants to 154 total yards, the third-lowest total ever.
