Jets Contacted Rex Ryan’s Agent To Ask About Replacement For Rex Ryan

The New York Jets have yet to fire head coach Rex Ryan but they are considering potential replacement candidates, even those represented by Ryan’s agent Jimmy Sexton.

Per Fox Sports:

FOX Sports NFL Insider Jay Glazer reported on Sunday that an advisor with the New York Jets called head coach Rex Ryan’s agent recently. Why? To inquire whether one of the agent’s other clients would be interested … in the Jets’ head-coaching job.

That wouldn’t be a problem, if Ryan wasn’t the team’s head coach anymore. However, he still is, at least until Monday. If this story came from any other organization, it might be surprising.

After blowing so many front office decisions, the Jets look well on their way to keeping the streak alive.
