Rex Ryan Seeks to Return as Jets Coach

Rex Ryan, the former head coach of the New York Jets, has expressed eagerness to return to the team, stating he would accept the position 'in a second' if offered. Currently, the Jets are struggling with a 2-6 record under interim coach Jeff Ulbrich following the firing of Robert Saleh. Ryan, who coached the Jets from 2009 to 2014 and led them to two AFC Championship games, emphasized his deep connection to the team and community, hoping for an opportunity to interview for the head coach position. Despite his enthusiasm, some analysts question whether his defensive background aligns with the Jets' pressing need for offensive improvement. The Jets are expected to seek a new head coach this offseason, as their playoff hopes have effectively vanished. Ryan's return could reignite fan support, but concerns about adapting to modern NFL strategies remain.
