Rex Ryan, former New York Jets head coach, has left a devastating note for Jets owner Woody Johnson regarding the position of head coach. According to reports, Rex Ryan stated that the Jets’ ongoing struggles to find stability in the coaching position have been frustrating for the organization and its fans. He expressed deep concern over the direction the team has taken since his departure, highlighting the lack of consistency in leadership.
Ryan, who served as head coach from 2009 to 2014, was known for his fiery personality and defensive-minded coaching style. Under his leadership, the Jets reached two AFC Championship games, a feat the team has not achieved since his tenure. However, after a disappointing few seasons and a string of underperforming seasons, Ryan was ultimately let go. Despite this, he remains passionate about the team and its success.
In his note, Ryan referenced the Jets’ repeated changes in coaching staff, noting how the revolving door has hindered the team’s ability to build a strong, cohesive squad. The Jets have had several head coaches since Ryan’s departure, but none have managed to bring lasting success. Ryan’s frustration stems from the fact that the team has failed to reclaim its former glory and build a stable foundation for future success.
While Ryan expressed disappointment, he also offered his advice to Johnson, emphasizing the importance of patience in the rebuilding process. He encouraged Johnson to support the next head coach fully and give them the time and resources necessary to develop a winning culture. Rex Ryan’s note serves as a candid reflection on the Jets’ struggles and his hopes for the team’s future. Whether Johnson takes his advice remains to be seen, but the message from Ryan is clear: the Jets need leadership and stability to move forward.
