ESPN.com news services
The New York Jets will formally offer their head coaching job to Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan, who has told confidants he will accept the position, several sources told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen.

The Jets notified other candidates, including offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, of their plans to hire Ryan, the sources said. A formal announcement is expected Monday, with a news conference likely on Wednesday.

A Jets team spokesperson declined comment.

Ryan told ESPN's Rachel Nichols late Sunday that he could find out about the Jets' job as early as tonight. "We'll see. There were no pre-arrangements made or anything, though. I was completely focused on our team."

When asked if he would accept the Jets' job if offered, Ryan said: "Sure. Any coach who believes in himself wants the opportunity, and it's a great franchise."

Another one bites the dust...

Good GOD Man! This is getting a little embarrasing!

At least we still have Herm.

This one was pretty much a forgone conclusion whenever the Ravens finally lost.

Well at least we arent desperate...

It is looking more and more like we are going to be stuck with Herm.....sadly

That means a contract extension.....

I'm not giving up! Call Todd Haley! :cuss:

I'm sure Pioli had several guys in mind when he accepted the GM position with the Chiefs...I don't believe a guy like Pioli would have taken the job without having a list of possible coaching candidates.

I bet he will hire someone who isn't on the radar right now.

I'm not concerned at all about this. I don't know a lot about Rex Ryan, but I wonder how much of his allure is simply because the Ravens have a great defense. I seem to recall another Baltimore D-Coordinator who was the hot head coach because of his defense, and he's pretty much been a bust as head coach of the Bengals.

I'm still very excited about the coaching scene possibilities.

Nah, not really.

Does this mean we have a shot at Brian Schottenheimer? :eek:
