pointman Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Rex Ryan gets 2nd Bills interview Updated: January 10, 2015, 6:19 PM ET By Mike Rodak | ESPN.com 254 248 COMMENTS65 EMAIL PRINT The Buffalo Bills are conducting a second interview Saturday night in Florida with former New York Jets coach Rex Ryan, league sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. [+] Enlarge Jeff Skopin/ESPNThe Bills are interviewing former Jets coach Rex Ryan for a second time Saturday. Ryan's first interview with the Bills was Thursday. He is the first known candidate that the team has brought back for a second interview. The Bills already have interviewed 12 candidates for their head-coaching vacancy, which opened last week when Doug Marrone opted out of his contract. Buffalo has also requested initial interviews with two other candidates -- New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels andIndianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton -- who have yet to meet with the team. Ryan, 52, also has interviewed with the Atlanta Falcons. He also was scheduled to meet with executives this week at CBS about a possible broadcasting job, according to a report from the New York Daily News. Ryan was fired last month after six seasons with the Jets. He finished with a 46-50 record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRy56 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I would really hate to see what Rex does to Geno next year with that Bills D. They'd probably be a shoe in for the #1 defense in all categories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heymangold Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I hope not. Don't want to have Rex in the division. Him and trestman could make that team a division winner next season. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of them are on defense though, they'll love Rex. His tenure is gonna be hitched to how well Trestman could turn around that offense. Smart move by Rex if he's offered it, he's guaranteed an easy few years considering his QB just retired and he's left with Manuel. Will certainly making those Bills games more exciting I suppose.

Kleckineau Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Rex getting the Buffalo seal of approval should only affirm what most of us have thought about him for the last few years. I mean really its not like BB retired and Kraft is chasing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprised by the Watkins claim, kind of hilarious Manuel has the balls to even speak. I could see them kicking the tires on a Locker (Rex loves guys who beat him) or some other retread that could just not turn the ball over and do that type of thing all over again. You're right though, Bills had no plan when Marrone left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, he'll fail there big time. Bad QB, shaky GM, weird owners, and a roster that's in flux with no first rounder this year. He wasn't even in their first round of interviews, and (like Atlanta) his hiring is being driven by the owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 PFT: At one point, it looked like the former Bills coach would become the new Jets coach. Now, the former Jets coach may become the Bills coach. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Rex Ryan will interview on Saturday night for a second time with the Bills. The interview will occur in Florida. As PFT recently reported, the Bills fear that Ryan is leery of coaching the Bills, given the quarterback situation and the absence of a 2015 first-round pick that could be devoted to fixing it. It’s believed Rex wants the Falcons job; interviewing with the Bills could be the way to get owner Arthur Blank to make a decision. It’s unclear who Blank wants. Some think he wants Ryan. Some think Blank wants Seahawks defensive coordinator Dan Quinn. Some think Blank doesn’t know who he wants. Surely complicating matters for Blank is the recent passing of his mother, who died Wednesday at the age of 99. Blank’s father died when Blank was only 15; via the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Blank has often credited his mother for instilling the entrepreneurial spirit in her son, who co-founded The Home Depot before buying the Falcons. The personal loss undoubtedly makes the process even more difficult for Blank, to whom we extend our condolences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woody is the worst owner in the league so ownership is an improvement. A pile of garbage is better than Idz as GM plus he won't be sabatoged. He'll do well I have no doubts.

Rex will drive the final nail into Manuel's coffin, the GM will be fired as a result, and they'll go into 2016 in exactly the same shape that the 2012 ended their season.

T0mShane Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 We've come some distance from Rex will never get another head coaching job. 1. He hasn't been hired by anyone yet. 2. I believe I've consistently included the caveat that it'd take an owner trumping his GM, which was clearly the case in Atlanta and certainly seems to be the case with Buffalo.
