Twitter: Rex Ryan interviewed for Cowboys DC job

[CTcowboy203]

Rex’s persona is likely too large for McCarthy’s status as a lame duck coach. I’d also have real reservations about his motivations ie is he truly ok being a coordinator position or does he feel he can parlay this into a head coaching gig midway through next season.

If he was genuinely interested in being a coordinator again it’s definitely intriguing but my guess is the cowboys wanted to listen to him and hear him out and also do a solid for an agent friend. Doubt he’s the hire.

I can't believe there are so many in here saying "yes" The guy is a buffoon...on TV and the sidelines. He is another circus element to hear interviewed.

Micah is DPOY year 1 with Sexy Rexy

He almost got the job in Denver last season so not sure that’s what he wants. He wasn’t eyeing for Sean’s job.

This is shaping up to be the Mike Nolan kind of hire, looks like.

No chance.

Nolan had guys like Crawford, Worley, Thompson

I mean he has a solid reputation. Granted he hasn’t coached in a few years

But he brings toughness, passion and knows how to win. This isn’t the typical yes man

 

[Kingofholland]

Wasn't expecting him as a candidate. I will say its good to see the Cowboys interview a lot of different candidates.

 

[This is Our Year]

This would be a home run hire! All for this.

Right. He has a huge personality but he knows defense. Whether it’s him or Zimm this D needs to start playing with some swagger. Both would bring that.

 

[Risen Star]

He will not get the job.

 

[Majic]

Bring him in, he's just what is needed

 

[Aven8]

He will not get the job.

I don’t think so either. They are probably self scouting with a lot of these interviews tbh

 

[Reality]

They will come out of the woodwork to coach for this team.

500 desperate coaches to call, 500 desperate coaches
Bring one in, interview him, 499 desperate coaches to call

499 desperate coaches to call, 499 desperate coaches
Bring one in, interview him, 498 desperate coaches to call

... and on and on ...

Well, we'd better make sure we order some ******* snacks!

Apparently, you never saw any of his defenses, which were among the elite in the NFL consistently.

 

[Redsfan_83]

When is Rex normally on ESPN mornings? Haven't seen him yet and he, if we are lucky Saturday will be added as OC and we can have a full team of ESPN dudes on our payroll earning their viewership

 

[Rayman70]

We have nothing to lose by hring him. it aint like we have done anything in 28 years. Give him a shot.

 

[Carson]

I don’t think so either. They are probably self scouting with a lot of these interviews tbh

They likely just needed to fill some spots to interview people lol

Sean had just signed a 5 year contract but different than a coach in a lame duck year but we’ll see. Don’t think he gets the job

 

[Rayman70]

We have absolutely zilch to lose by hiring him. Everything to gain.
