Let's Talk About Rex Ryan Lobbying for old Jets Job

While it's been obvious to us for some time now that former Jets head coach Rex Ryan has been subtly working at getting his old job back at 1 Jets Drive, we've reached a point where it's no longer subtle.  At all. Appearing on ESPN New York's Bart and Hahn, Ryan praised the level of talent on the Jets roster and had this to say; "I look at it this way, blow it up?  We're going to blow the opponents up.  There's way too much talent on this team to play the way we've been playing.  How hard can you get a guy to play?  That's the thing.  Nobody has seen a team going to play as hard is this team is going to lay in the future, trust me, if I'm the guy". Notice Ryan twice using the term "we" before even getting to the open acknowledgement that he wants the job. Fired along with GM John Idzik back in 2014, Ryan was at the helm the last time the Jets had any modicum of success, winning four playoff games on the road in 2009 and 2010.  From that point forward however, the talent dwindled under Idzik and Ryan's big, bold, brash predictions became more more of a circus side show than NFL football team. Ryan would go 26-38 with no playoff appearances over his final four seasons with the Jets before going to Buffalo for two years in which he would go 15-16.  The son former Jets, Bears and Eagles Coach Buddy Ryan hasn't coached since.
