The New York Jets are having a disappointing 2024 season, currently holding a record of 3 wins and 8 losses as they approach Week 12.

In light of the team's poor performance, head coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas have already been fired.

Jets owner Woody Johnson is now exploring potential candidates to lead the franchise, with names like Bill Belichick, Mike Vrabel, and Ben Johnson being considered.

Former Jets head coach Rex Ryan has publicly expressed his desire to return to the team during an interview on ESPN New York.

Ryan, who coached the Jets from 2009 to 2014, achieved a record of 46 wins and 50 losses, making him the third-winningest coach in franchise history.

During his tenure, he notably led the Jets to consecutive AFC Championship appearances in 2010 after an 11-5 season, although he was dismissed following a disappointing 4-12 season in 2014.

He remains the franchise's all-time leader in playoff wins, with four, and has coached six postseason games.

After leaving the Jets, Ryan coached the Buffalo Bills for two seasons, finishing with a record of 15 wins and 16 losses before being let go.

Ryan believes there is significant talent on the Jets roster that is not being utilized effectively and promises that he could build a stronger team if rehired.

He acknowledges the importance of second chances and hopes that if he is not selected again, the Jets will choose a strong candidate, as he still wishes to support the team.

Ryan claims that under his leadership, the team would play much harder and differently compared to their current performance.
