joewilly12 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Former Jets coach Rex Ryan signs with ESPN for Super Bowl Sunday show Tweet emai Rex Ryan will be making the move to TV for at least a day when he appears on ESPN's "NFL Sunday Countdown" on Super Bowl Sunday. (BILL KOSTROUN/AP) After being fired by the Bills in December, four networks, including CBS, ESPN, Fox and NFL Network, all expressed interest in bringing Ryan on board. Seth Markman, ESPN senior coordinating producer, told Sports Business Journal that Ryan is “a great personality and has a unique perspective.” Buffalo Bills owner fired Rex Ryan when coach asked about future The Bills fired Rex Ryan as their head coach in December after he spent two seasons in Buffalo. (JEFFREY T. BARNES/AP) Part of Ryan's schtick with the Jets was to guarantee a Super Bowl, but he never delivered. He cooled his jets after his promises failed to pan out, but he was back making bold statements in his introductory press conference with the Bills. After two seasons, Buffalo fired Ryan with a year left on his contract. It’s unclear what Ryan will choose to do next, but TV seems to be calling him. Ryan now becomes just the latest Ex-Jet to make their way to TV. Bart Scott now works for CBS, while ESPN has brought in Herm Edwards, Keyshawn Johnson, Eric Mangini and Bill Parcells in the past.

Fibonacci Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Good for him. Rex was born to be a TV personality. I am sure he will make a lot of money on TV once he agrees that he doesn't have what it takes to be a good NFL Head Coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 He will do well in that area if you ask me. As long as he adds his knowledge of the game and not just REx Schtick he will do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, most of the people on that channel don't even speak in sentences anymore. They all just shout their own personal catch-phrases back and forth. The black guys are told to speak "hip-hop" and the white guys are told to speak "hardnosed and gritty". It's pathetic. Rex will fit in perfectly.

CanadienJetsFan Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I'm really happy for Rex, really am. But I won't be watching. I still have nightmares over his Cleveland Browns press conference when he mocked his brother. Nothing he did made me more embarrassed to be a Jets fan.
