The New York Jets are once again in search of a head coach. So, why not bring back one of the greatest hits to the franchise?

Nick Wright joins Colin Cowherd to debate whether the New York Jets should bring back Rex Ryan as head coach. They analyze Ryan’s past success with the Jets, his defensive expertise, and whether he’s the right fit to turn the franchise around.

After months of publicly campaigning for the position, Rex Ryan finally got his coaching interview on Tuesday. Ryan, 62, officially interviewed with the Jets on Tuesday.

Rex Ryan told ESPN New York radio that he believes "100%" that he'll be the New York Jets' next head coach and detailed some plans for the team.

Rex Ryan got a seal of endorsement from his ESPN co-workers Mike Greenberg and Dan Orlovsky amid his Jets head coaching interview.

Mike Francesa has a plan to fix the Jets and it includes handing Rex Ryan “unusual authority” – just not in the way one would think.

Ryan, an ESPN NFL analyst, aims to reclaim the head coaching position he held with the Jets from 2009-14. During his first two seasons leading the team, the Jets advanced to the AFC Championship game. Across his five-year tenure, the Jets posted a 46-50 regular-season record.

Ryan interviewing for the Jets' coaching job, which he had already held from 2009-2014, sparked a reaction from Coach Prime. The two have a minor history together, being a part of the Baltimore Ravens organization in the early 2000s, when Sanders was on the tail end of his career, and Ryan was a defensive line coach.
