The New York Jets interviewed Rex Ryan for their head coaching position, but have reportedly already passed on the former head coach.
ESPN NFL Insider Dan Graziano provided a bizarre update on Jeff Ulbrich and the New York Jets amid the coaching search.
The New York Jets’ next head coach reportedly will not be Rex Ryan. Ryan, 62, has been vocal about wanting a chance to return. He interviewed with the team last week, but it could be one-and-done in terms of those chats.
Former New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan offered his reaction to the New England Patriots' decision to hire Mike Vrabel to replace Jerod Mayo.

The Jets have launched their head coaching search, and Ron Rivera and Rex Ryan are a couple of the early candidates.
The Jets have reportedly hired Glenn as their next head coach on Wednesday, replacing Robert Saleh (and interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich). The now-former Lions defensive coordinator has risen the ranks from scout to coordinator and now gets his first shot at head coaching.

After an extensive search, the Jets finally have a new head coach. Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn is the pick to lead Gang Green, according to sources.
