Former head coach Rex Ryan is reportedly attempting a big NFL return, and he is doing so by going for the New York Jets coaching vacancy.

Ryan went 61-66 during his eight-year head coaching career. He went 46-50 with the Jets from 2009-2014 and helped them reach back-to-back conference title games in his first two years at the helm. Poor roster construction and an act that wore thin ultimately led to his dismissal.
