Revision as of 05:13, 19 January 2009
| Record at Pro Football Reference |
Rex Ryan (born December 13, 1962 in Ardmore, Oklahoma) is the head coach of the New York Jets in the National Football League.
Personal Life
He is the son of former Philadelphia Eagles and Arizona Cardinals head coach Buddy Ryan and is the twin brother of Rob Ryan, defensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns.
Rex married his long-time sweetheart, Michelle "Micki" Geringer. They now have two sons, Payton and Seth.
College
Ryan attended Southwestern Oklahoma State University and was a letterman in football. He earned both a bachelor of science and master's degree (1988) in physical education from Eastern Kentucky.
Coaching career
Rex Ryan finished his 9th year with the Ravens in 2007, his third as the defensive coordinator. Ryan was the only remaining Ravens' assistant coach from the 2000 Super Bowl XXXV season's record setting defense. Rex had spent 6 seasons as the Ravens' line coach.
On December 31, 2007, Ravens head coach Brian Billick, along with the entire coaching staff, was fired after a disappointing 5-11 season. Ryan interviewed with the Ravens for their head coaching vacancy, which eventually went to John Harbaugh, despite Ryan having the support of most of the players on the team. Ryan also interviewed with Miami and Atlanta, but neither team hired him. Miami hired Tony Sparano, the former assistant coach for the Dallas Cowboys. Atlanta hired Mike Smith, the former defensive coordinator for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
In a regular season game against the then undefeated New England patriots, Ryan called timeout that proved costly on a 4th down negating the play in which New England, trailing the game, was stopped. This kept the Patriots alive and ensued with a Tom Brady scramble for a first down. This eventually led to New England's winning drive.
On January 28, 2008 Ravens' head coach John Harbaugh rehired Ryan as Defensive Coordinator, and gave him a promotion to Assistant Head Coach.
New York Jets
On Sunday, January 18, 2009, sources say the New York Jets have hired Ryan to be their head coach, succeeding Eric Mangini.[1]
