Well, now it's officially official. The move was expected after Ryan's defense was gashed by the run for the second straight year. Ryan believes he'll find a job quickly, and he's probably right. This could spur the Jets to fire Bob Sutton in the coming days and make immediate overtures to Ryan, a good friend of Jets coach Eric Mangini.

Him on one side of the field, Revis on the other, Rhodes in the backfield being a ballhawk too.... I like that.
Raiders aide may join Jets Wednesday, January 02, 2008 BY DAVE HUTCHINSON Star-Ledger Staff The Raiders are expected to fire defensive coordinator Rob Ryan by the end of the week and he could be hired by the Jets as early as next week to replace Bob Sutton, according to reports in the Oakland Tribune and other Oakland media outlets. The fiery Ryan, who appears to be the perfect tonic for the lackluster Jets defense, coached with Mangini for four seasons in New England. He was the linebackers coach with the Patriots while Mangini coached the defensive backs and the two have remained close. Ryan, the son of NFL defensive coaching legend Buddy Ryan, came under fire this season as Oakland (4-12) blew four fourth-quarter leads. Also, Raiders coach Lane Kiffin wants to bring aboard his father, Monte, whose contract is up in Tampa Bay. This season, the Raiders finished 22nd in the NFL in total defense, allowing 341.6 yards per game. The unit, however, was short on talent. The Jets defense under Sutton struggled for the second consecutive season, finishing 18th overall in the NFL, 29th against the run. For the second straight season, the unit didn't show improvement until an intense self-evaluation after the bye week that involved the entire staff. By then, it was too late to salvage the season. Sutton, who spent the past seven seasons with the Jets, could land in Miami with Bill Parcells. LB Victor Hobson, an unrestricted free agent, is expected to test the market, a move that could put the Jets in pursuit of Ravens unrestricted free agent LB Terrell Suggs.
You must have spent the entire year writing Mangini put downs.............Mandoofis............ManIdiotSavant. What will you do when we actually start doing well under Mangini; possibly next year? Are you capable of writing the other way? Don't get me wrong........I think you are funny
Yes - there is one for each loss; I'd love to change them but I've got a feeling that i'll have to remove six and come up with ten more.
Is it Christmas again? Not only would we be dumping Sutton, who I've despised all along, but we'd also be bringing in a possible very good replacement who actually understands the system in place, and sending Bob to a division rival? Then losing Hobson for Suggs? There really IS a Santa Claus!
if we got ryan do you think that could play into any free agent signings?... corner isnt the biggest hole, but with samuel seeing dollar signs what about Asomugha...who wont be that cheap either
ABS - Anybody but Sutton Bring in Bob Ryan, Rex Ryan or Buddy Ryan. Anybody but Sutton would be great...
