Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan has agreed to a four-year contract to become coach of the New York Jets, according to multiple sources.

Lawyers are reviewing contract language before an official announcement is made. A news conference introducing Ryan is scheduled for Wednesday.

The Jets made a formal offer to Ryan "about an hour" after the Ravens lost 23-14 to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Championship Game, the sources said.

Ryan's four-year contract is in line with other first-year head coaches that have been recently hired, but a Jets source said it was almost identical to the $11.5 million deal that the Rams gave New York Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo on Saturday.

"Any coach who believes in himself wants the opportunity, and it's a great franchise," Ryan told ESPN reporter Rachel Nichols on Sunday night.

Ryan was hired by the Ravens in 1999 as a defensive assistant and took on the coordinator's role in 2005. The title of assistant head coach was added before this season.

good ridins, i was sick of his prevent defnse anyway, he just got annoying in the fourth quater, well be better with Greg Mattison or Clarnes Brooks,

 

[Aso]

LOL kia kaha. The Ravens had the #2 defense. You can't get much better than that.

 

[Kia Kaha]

nah i dont know but ask any ravens fan besides bmore if they where sick of Ryans prevent, it got so annoying as wed have a 3 point lead and he use prevent, examples include titans game (first one) and steelers game (2nd one)

besides Ryan calls the plays but if you listen sugar and reed are always talking on the field making ajusments so they are basically our defenseice coordiantors, if they had the option i know they wouldnt use prevent

Someone is bitter.

 

[Obst]

bout time the jets get a real coach... watch out for gang green next year boyz... just like u should watch out for matt jones future coke deal's

A little late on that joke.

I'm glad we got a guy like Ryan instead of some of the other options we could have taken. Hopefully other Jets fans won't be calling for his head if we go 7-9, 8-8 next year. Lets give the man some time. He got Suggs to be a pretty good linebacker, hopefully he can improve Gholston. Now lets just get Favre to retire.

That is retarded... Rex Ryan was the best D-coordinator we ever had.

what the fuck is that suppose to mean?

Your are stupid dude, Rex Ryan had the most complex blitzing schemes in the NFL. Ray Ray and Reed couldn't come up with the plays he did.

When Reed and Ray talk on the field, they are talking about the opposing teams offensive alignment. You do so much film study, that when the opposing team aligns you know they can only be running so many plays.

 

[Bmore]

O yea, now that Rex is out.

(IMO) I think T-Sizzle or Bart Scott could follow him to New York.

 

[Kia Kaha]

WEll Bmore i just think that youre quite a homer and wouldnt admit something like that, dont get me wrong i like you dude but you wouldnt admit flacco choked so....

anyway we where great with Lewis, we where great with nolan, we where great with rex but well be great with our next co - ordinator as well

And i agree with you Bmore that One of the two will sign for NYJ, but as well be locking sizle up it will be scott

dont hate me dude, i was just making comments

actually it is a well known fact that lebeau's zone blitz scheme is the most complex. when that d was the bad ass super bowl d it was coached by marvin lewis, not ryan. ryan's blitz scheme is an overload style, always has been. I am not saying ryan wasnt good, but you just got the dick so far down your throat that the balls are blocking your vision.

 

[Kia Kaha]

i agree with you steel jake
Pittsburgh has the better blitzez as the zone blitz is hard to attack

 

[Gonzo]

Good move. This was a long-anticipated hiring for Rex Ryan - maybe not to NY persay, but to be hired as a Head Coach in general.
