If you thought you were done hearing from Rex Ryan, think again.
Ryan, who was fired by the New York Jets on Monday, will meet with ESPN executives Tuesday to discuss a possible role with the network in case he doesn’t land another head coaching job, according to The New York Daily News.
Ryan said last week he thinks he’ll someday win a Super Bowl as a head coach, so it’s clear he stills considers coaching a top priority. He might be hard-pressed to find a head coaching gig, however, as the Jets underperformed the last four seasons after back-to-back trips to the AFC Championship Game in 2009 and 2010.
The Jets went 4-12 this season, causing owner Woody Johnson to fire both Ryan and general manager John Idzik on Black Monday. Ryan probably would have no trouble finding a defensive coordinator job elsewhere, but he reportedly doesn’t want to go that route.
Ryan always has had the gift of gab, so perhaps the whole TV thing isn’t such a bad idea.
