Bills will hire Rex Ryan as next Head Coach
 

The Buffalo Bills are putting the finishing touches on a deal that will make Rex Ryan their next head coach, sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

The hiring of Ryan would complete an extensive coaching search for the Bills, who have interviewed 12 candidates since Doug Marrone opted out of his contract on Dec. 31.

The Bills conducted a second interview with Ryan on Saturday night, sources told Schefter.

Ryan spent the last six seasons with the Jets, going 46-50 and helping New York reach the AFC Championship Game in each of his first two years.

But Ryan and general manager John Idzik were fired on Dec. 29 after the Jets went 4-12 and missed the playoffs for the fourth straight season.

The 52-year-old Ryan also has interviewed for the Atlanta Falcons' coaching vacancy. The defensive-minded Ryan will inherit a Bills defense that ranked fourth in the NFL and had a league-leading 54 sacks this past season.

Falcons ****ed up.

Funny that he stayed in the division to stick it to the Jets. Luckily for the Jets they have Geno at qb so everything should be alright with them, right Clay?

Holy ****, that defense is going to be ridiculous.

It was ridiculous last year. Now they've got to find a qb.

It's a great fit.

All he needs is a QB. I hope he gets Tresman as his OC

Is he going to mesh well with Schwartz?

Both defensive minded and strong willed.

We play the bills next season....

Sorry, even more ridiculous.

That talent with Ryan's schemes...

Going to be filthy. Do we play Buffalo again next year?

5 years $27.5MM. That will buy a lot of whatever you buy when you have a foot fetish.

Is water wet?

And yes, that D is gonna crush people.

Let's ask Bufkin, he knows. Ooooohhh BUFKIN.....

Rex is a dumbass. Another place with severe QB issues.

Yeah, 27.5 million will buy a lot of footjobs.

Weren't they a 4-3? I thought Ryan was a 3-4 guy.

The real problem is they have no qb that can play right now. If Manuel comes back before the season, he's basically Geno Smith with less arm talent and a touch more NFL success. If the kid is a warrior in film practice and study, Tresman may help him (or whoever ends up being).

Also, aren't they light a first rounder? Without looking I think they're short either a first or a second and it is tough to go find a qb and spend any resources. I don't know what FA QBs are available but that could get ugly. Quick.

Sanchez rejoins Rex in NY?

And evidently there is some NFL rule that we have to play the Bills every year.

If he just gets decent QB play, their a playoff team

Rex Ryan is not part of the Patriot Way last I checked.

Let's all go have a God Damn Snack!!!

This news has devastated my Falcons fan friends. They were holding out hope I was wrong about Pioli. LMAO

Buffalo will be a top 2 defense next year. Yikes...

They're.

But like I posted before I doubt it's on their roster and they don't have the resources to go get anything. It's going to have to be coached up and I don't see it.

Buffalo drafted a 1st round QB recently, he was hurt this season, and that's why they were starting Orton. So they should be fine at QB.

I don't know when he was scheduled to be back. And there isn't a lot of consensus that he's the man. Not that analysts have never been wrong of course.

That and we know Rex's record with developing QBs.

Bills had the league's best D this year. This is a shit hire.

They needed an offense guru, not a 2nd defense guru who will want to run a different scheme.

Hahahahhahaha

I don't know if you could say it's a "Shit hire." Depends on if you think Rex is a good coach or not. He certainly knows the division. He'll be motivated to beat the Jets, he has experience against Hoodie. Let's see who he gets as the OC. If he gets Testerman, they could have a formidable team in a hurry. Buffalo has been a real sleeper the last couple years. I think they could be the next big thing in the AFC East after Brady retires.

Send condolences from ChiefsPlanet. And then laugh in their faces and say I told you so.

Care to elaborate, when you stop laughing?

Manuel was a 7th round talent with a 1st round frame

That's what I was asking before. They run a 4-3 right? If Rex switches he really will be a dumbtard.

The fact he has Trestman wanting to join forces with him makes him all the more appealing I'd think.

A team that's basically a QB away from the playoffs hires a coach who just failed twice at getting/developing his last team one. Noice.

Get an offensive genius, and tell Rex to stay the **** away.

Yep.


You know he is going to fist**** the Jets every time, though.

Rumors are 49ers OC heading with Rex.

The Bills are one year removed from Mike Pettine, who is a Ryan disciple. Defensively, it's an excellent hire. Ryan can quickly make this defense his, and his scheme, by the way, is a 3-4 and 4-3 hybrid. Actually, in the past few years, he's been trying to make the Jets scheme more 4-3 than 3-4.

The problem with Ryan is he's an overrated motivator and he's a QB destroyer. He needed to go to a front office with half a brain that is going to overrule him when he's wrong. Buffalo has the same history of incompetence that we do.

Current NFL is meaningless without a QB that the refs will slant the rules toward. As good of defenses as KC and Buffalo had it meant nothing. The Chuck it deep and pray for a flag era.

I want to like Manuel, but he was benched, not hurt.

Evidently, he's easier to read than Highlights. Heard all DBs know what he's doing before he does.

Also, GM is strongly behind him and word is that was souring a lot of offensive minded HCs in the interview process.

No first round pick, no qb. Its like he left the jets, BUT DIDNT.

He should of went to Atlanta.

But he has an excellent record of bringing them along.

He couldn't go to Atlanta. He didn't coach for Belichick or Parcells.

Seattle beat statistically the greatest offense of all time last year in the Super Bowl, and are probably favorites to do it again this year because of their defense. Russell Wilson is a great QB but I wouldn't say he succeeds because of officiating help the same way someone like Manning often seems to. Defense isn't dead, it's still necessary. The team that wins it all will most likely be playing very good defense.

Blank is an idiot and I will laugh my ass off if the Falcons hire McDaniels.

Have we all forgotten that no one wants to work for Pioli already?

Came here to say this.

The Bills have only been a QB away from serious contention for about 3 years now anyway. We'll see if Rex can find someone before everyone on that insane D needs new contracts and Spiller walks/Jackson retires.

Except the Bills personnel on D was great in a 4-3 and Ryan runs a 3-4.

And Rex Ryan's opinion on E.J. Manual....

http://cjzero.com/gifs/RexHorrible.gif

It has been established that Ryan runs a 4-3/3-4 hybrid.

Russel, the read option, and how well he throws the deep ball are all equal factors with that. The guy is devastating. But hey we got Donald Stephenson because of Scooters love with Cassel.

Schefter is reporting Greg Roman is going to be his offensive coordinator.

this combined with Jim Kelly's death...tough ass week for bills fan.s

I don't think we play them next year but we do in 2016 at Arrowhead.

Excellent move for both sides... Buffalo wins by hiring a proven coach that will increase their appeal among players and Ryan wins by inheriting a defense that will go from excellent to incredible under him.

He's bringing in Roman to run a ground and pound offense, another excellent move... if they get a decent QB things are really looking up in NY.

Yeah, but they win because of their defense. When you only allow about 14 points a game and force a bunch of turnovers, there's not much pressure on the offense. Last year they completely shut down the offense that scored the most points and yards of any offense ever in the Super Bowl, and all people want to talk about is Russell Wilson.

Probably a great point. Josh Mcdaniels then?

People still calling Rex Ryan an excellent head coaching hire remind me of the ones who were open to Herm coming to KC after he was already a known quantity in the NFL.

Considering the two guys in charge down there, I'd say thats a given... patriots guys just can quit each other, they're absolutely convinced of the superiority of "the way".

I think he is a fine defensive coach. He should stay as a dc, like his brother has, and like his daddy should have.

No, that's different. Herm never had any coordinating experience and his defenses weren't that impressive compared to Ryan.

Ryan is an excellent coaching hire for three reasons:

1. Their defense is loaded and should be even better under Ryan.
2. Players love to play for Rex. Buffalo as a destination for free agents just jumped big time.
3. The media loves Rex. Rex loves the media. His press conferences alone will make the Bills relevant on a national scale.

Bad juju

bad penz

That should go up anyways with the Pegulas being owners.

One more thing: Doug Whaley is a superior GM to Idzik and Tanenbaum. Pegula won't be afraid to spend money, either.

I tend to agree.

However, consider what would happen if he improves that defense be greater than it already is. He WAS with the Ravens when they Trent Dilfered a Super Bowl. I think his best chance at ultimate success with the Bills is going to have to come through a repeat of that process.

He should try to find a Josh McCown-type of lamebrain to take Orton's place as soon as possible. EJ Manuel can be the Stony Case/Tony Banks guy they're trying to develop.

Whaley's a very good talent evaluator that learned the ropes in Pittsburgh. They've had some very good drafts, of both offensive and defensive players, and I don't think he'll shy away from drafting another QB. He's also made some nice free agent acquisitions, like that of Jerry Hughes, who'd done nothing in Indy.

Greg Roman probably the perfect OC for Rex because he's into smash mouth football which will extend drives. Time will tell but this seems like a great hire to me.

Cool. They'll go from 9-7 to 8-8.

Genius!

I don't know why you are worried about this. Wilson would have never have played a down here. He would have been the same guy as Chase Daniel on 31 other teams.

Sigh.... I just want an offense that can manage to consistently outscore our own defense & special teams.

Confirmed on SKY1, if you trust a Limey.

Please explain the "footjob"?

Ryan has a foot fetish that was put in the public.

Rex has a foot fetish.

Well, when a man and a woman love each other very much, and the woman is wearing nylons, and the man is quite enamored with ankles, and toes, wants the day to end happily.....

Don't call me Shirley.

google ryan foot, it's not hard, well I can't speak for you.

Yeah, I can't really say I'm very happy with this. I think Rex is a damn good coach, that the Jets were idiots for letting him go, amd i would be happier to see him out of the division.

Oh, and now Revis might go to Buffalo. Terrific!

I know, I know, but I really wanted an explaination of the "footjob" thingy. My imagination is weirding out on me.
