Part 2/6:
One of the pivotal moments highlighted was the completion of an interview with former Jets head coach Rex Ryan for the head coach position. Ryan, who led the Jets from 2009 to 2014, comes with an intricate background deeply tied to the franchise. His father, Buddy Ryan, served as the defensive line coach during the Jets’ 1968 Championship season, which adds a personal dimension to his connection with the team.
Ryan has made it clear that he is eager to return to his former role, citing unfinished business and a personal legacy tied to the franchise as motivating factors. With a regular-season record of 46-50 during his tenure, he also led the Jets to their last playoff appearances, including back-to-back AFC Championship games.
