With Ravens' season over, Jets expected to hire Ryan as head coach

NEW YORK -- The Jets' head-coaching search might be over now that the Baltimore Ravens' season is.

The Jets were expected to offer Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan their head-coaching job as early as Monday after Baltimore lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers 32-25 in Sunday night's AFC Championship Game.

Schefter: Ravens will be raided
 Now that Baltimore has been eliminated from the playoffs, the clock starts on the New York Jets hiring Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan as their new head coach and the Cleveland Browns on hiring Ravens director of pro personnel George Kokinis as their general manager, NFL Network's Adam Schefter writes. More ... Ryan, 46, would replace the fired Eric Mangini and take over a New York team that started last season 8-3 but missed the playoffs with quarterback Brett Favre after a late-season collapse.

It became apparent that Ryan was at the top of the Jets' list of candidates when several other teams filled their head-coaching vacancies and New York's remained open. The Jets needed the Ravens' season to end before they could offer Ryan the job.

The Jets declined comment through team spokesman Bruce Speight.

Ryan is the son of former NFL coach Buddy Ryan and twin brother of Cleveland Browns defensive coordinator Rob Ryan. Rex Ryan has been the Ravens' defensive coordinator for the last four seasons.

Baltimore has been ranked in the top six in total yardage allowed under Ryan, including second overall this season while leading the NFL with 34 takeaways.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh had high praise for Ryan after the team fell one win short of the Super Bowl.

"He should have an opportunity to be a head coach soon," Harbaugh said, "and he's deserving of it."

Ryan, who also interviewed for the St. Louis Rams job that went to New York Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo on Saturday, impressed the Jets when he met with team officials for several hours earlier this month.

If hired, this would be the first head-coaching job for Ryan, who's said to be well-liked among his players because of his straightforward, no-nonsense style.

The Jets interviewed at least five other candidates, including Spagnuolo, Arizona Cardinals assistant head coach/offensive line coach Russ Grimm, Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator Ron Meeks and fired Boston College coach Jeff Jagodzinski.

NEW YORK -- The Jets' head-coaching search is over now that the Baltimore Ravens' season is.

The Jets have reached an agreement with Baltimore's defensive coordinator, Rex Ryan, to be their new coach, reports NFL Network's Adam Schefter. The team is expected to make an official announcement Monday afternoon.

Grande Manu!

inutile dire che i Jets li vedo bene l'anno prossimo...scommetto che ci metteresti la firma perchè Mangini arrivi a vincere anche solo un terzo del suo mentore Belihcick

Un po' di collirio?

visto che questo topic è a dir poco abbandonato, spendo due parole sull'inizio folgorante dei Jets. Difesa tostissima e si vede non poco la mano dell'HC Ryan, ex DC dei Ravens. Brady, in difficoltà per tutto l'incontro e il solo intercetto testimonia solo in parte la figura peregrina incassata dai Pats. Più che convincente 2°tempo di MarK Sanchez, che si sta dimostrando veramente un buon QB, in grado di rivitalizzare uno STUCKEY qualsiasi.
Jets, sorpresa dell'anno.....è presto per dirlo e da tifoso Dolphins, direi di no, però ....questi Jets sembrano tutta un'altra cosa rispetto all'anno scorso.....RYAN DOCET???

cosa avete pagato ?

[torrisone]

cosa avete pagato ?

In 2008, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell ruled the 49ers violated the league anti-tampering policy when it contacted Drew Rosenhaus, agent for Bears linebacker Lance Briggs, during the 2007 season.
The 49ers forfeited their fifth-round pick, and the 49ers and Bears swapped third-round picks. (The 49ers were originally slated to pick five picks earlier than the Bears in the round.)
