The Jets Have Their Man
The Jets finally announced their new head coach on Monday. The hired former Raven defensive coordinator, Rex Ryan. They had to wait until the Ravens were eliminated from the playoffs to make the announcement.
This is starting to get repetitive but Rex Ryan is the son of former NFL coach Buddy Ryan. I guess the best way to get a head coaching job is to be the son of a coach. There seems to be a theme here this off season.
His twin brother is Rob Ryan, the defensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns. It looks like defensive coaching runs in the family. Could I be the first to say that if the brothers came together in New York, it could open the door for Romeo Crennel to rejoin his BFF, Mangini, in Cleveland?
Stay tuned, I have a feeling this off season is just getting started.
