ESPN analyst Rex Ryan was interviewed on Saturday by the Denver Broncos for the role of defensive coordinator, sources confirmed to ESPN on Monday. The former NFL head coach previously stated that he would only leave his analyst role “for the perfect situation”.

Before turning to a career in broadcasting in 2017, the 60-year-old Ryan served as a head coach in the NFL for 30 years. This included eight years as the head coach of the New York Jets (2009-2014) and the Buffalo Bills (2015-2016). His highlights included leading the Jets to back-to-back AFC Championship games in 2009 and 2010.

Prior to becoming a head coach, Ryan served in various roles at the Baltimore Ravens for 10 years. This included spending four years as the team’s defensive coordinator, during which time the Ravens’ defense was ranked in the top 10 every season. In five of Ryan’s six seasons in New York, the Jets’ defense ranked in the top 10 as well.

Competing with Ryan for the defensive coordinator role is former Broncos head coach and Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, among several other candidates. Joseph is also expected to interview for the defensive coordinator role offered by the Philadelphia Eagles.

Although Washington Redskins have been viewed as a dysfunctional organization lately, it seems like plenty of people would be interested in taking their head coaching position. The latest one to put his name into the sweepstakes is former New York Jets and Buffalo Bills HC Rex Ryan.

Ryan, who is currently working as an NFL analyst for ESPN, recently commented on Redskins’ job opening and said that he would be more than willing to take the challenge.

“Of course,” – said Ryan. “I would take it. . . . People are going to be lined up for this job.”

Ryan previously hasn’t been mentioned in the discussions for the head coaching position with the Washington Redskins. It is believed that the Kansas City Chiefs’ offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy is the frontrunner for the gig, with Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ OC Byron Leftwich being a close second. Other names in the mix include Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Mike Pettine and former Jets’ coach Todd Bowles.

It is unclear whether Rex Ryan has a shot to be Redskins’ next HC. Although Ryan enjoyed success early in his career, taking Jets to two consecutive AFC Championship Games in his first two seasons, his later work is not so remarkable. In the following four seasons with the Jets and two with the Buffalo Bills, he failed to reach the postseason. His head coaching record in the regular season is 61-66, while he is 4-2 in the postseason.
