he New York Jets' next head coach reportedly will not be Rex Ryan.
Ryan, 62, has been vocal about wanting a chance to return. He interviewed with the team last week, but it could be one-and-done in terms of those chats.
According to SportsNet New York, the Jets are no longer pursuing Ryan as a candidate:

Mike Vrabel was the first candidate taken off the board in New York, but not by the team's choice. The New England Patriots quickly hired him, a former player on the team, as their new head coach over the weekend.
Ryan would be the first interviewee reportedly out of the running that the Jets have said no to.
Ryan went 46-50 in six seasons as New York's bench boss. He was previously employed by the Jets from 2009 to 2014, which included back-to-back trips to the AFC Championship in his first two seasons. That was the last time the team cracked the postseason.
Ryan has been an analyst for ESPN for the past several years. If it's not landing the job in New York, he'll likely continue there since he has not reportedly interviewed for other vacant positions around the NFL.
The Jets' last head coach, Robert Saleh, was fired on Oct. 8. The team, 2-3 at the time, named Jeff Ulbrich the interim coach. It ended up with a 5-12 record.

Not surprising that they don't want Ryan, for several reasons. Of course, the guy they finally end up with will probably be bad enough that Rex will be able to say "Should have hired me".
Why would Tomlin leave Pitt when the ownership is okay with high average mediocrity and basically leave him alone to go to a team with an egomaniac owner?
If the goal is to be entertained, this is the move.. and I'm here for it.
I give him credit for doing a good job at Colorado.. but the NFL is a different story.
So we could be looking at:
Vrabel to New England
Johnson to Vegas
McCarthy to Chicago
I think that could be very interesting, especially if Vegas gets a real QB in there.
