Rex Ryan may be returning to the NFL.
A report by NFL Network says Ryan has “emerged as a top candidate” to become the next defensive coordinator of the Denver Broncos.
Ryan rose to prominence as an assistant coach with the Baltimore Ravens in the early 2000s.
He took over as New York Jets head coach in 2009 but was fired after the 2014 season.
He then joined the Buffalo Bills but was let go toward the end of his second season.
Ryan is now with ESPN as an analyst.
Do you think the Broncos should hire Ryan?
