Rex Ryan Offers Candid Reason He Turned Down Cowboys Defensive Coordinator Job
Story by Madison Williams

Former NFL coach Rex Ryan has been one of the Dallas Cowboys' loudest critics to start the 2024 season, and he could've apparently been working as their defensive coordinator instead.

The team's defense has been a key point of the Cowboys' struggles this season. Ryan even called Dallas' defense "hot garbage" in one of his ESPN rants about the team.

Ryan sounds like he wants to help solve the team's problems, and he admitted that he would be working as the Cowboys' DC if not for one issue: money.

Says the guy who hasn't coached in the NFL in something like 8 years.

I remember hearing that salary was the reason he didn't come here......probably worked out to be a blessing for him

 

[Jarntt]

So now tell us what you were doing the last 2 years Rex. I don't believe a word Ryan says


Mike Zimmer is estimated to earn $4 millionas the defensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys, making him the second highest-paid defensive coordinator in the NFL in 2024. Vic Fangio, who coaches the Eagles' defense, is estimated to earn $4.5 million and is the highest-paid defensive coordinator.

he can say he can fix the cowboys defense but because he is not here. he knows this is not a talented group, nor the right mix of talent so he is lucky. he is generating headlines to put his name out there and nobody can argue with him

Zimmer said he got back into coaching to restore his reputation from how his Vikings job ended.......little did he know it would actually get worse

So when did they even offer him the job?

Sad, but true. Unless he can miraculously turn this defense around.

 

[Sydla]

LOL, I wouldn't even bank on his statement that he was offered the job. He's notoriously full of poop.

Would love to know the details on the offer and what he wanted. They would have had to at least offer more than his ESPN salary. Im guessing that is somewhere in the 1-2 mil range but I have no idea.

So when did they even offer him the job?

Not sure but I remember hearing that he leaked that money was the issue so they must have actually gotten to that point

 

[TwistedL0g1k]

No other team has wanted him either since the 2015 season.

The whole "money" claim is dubious too.

 

[Tabascocat]

I was under the impression that there is not enough variety of feet in the metroplex.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

He's lying.......if the defense is "hot garbage", how can he say the reason he's not here is money instead of talent?
BTW.....I'm not sure we even interviewed him but money was the issue, right (lol)

 

[The Quest for Six]

Sources tell me that Rex Turned down the job because Jerry's feet didn't meet his foot fetish expectations...

 

[shabazz]

Sad, but true. Unless he can miraculously turn this defense around.

He's got nowhere to go but UP from this point, lol

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Yo maybe some of these coaches are jsut too old to grind

 

[maryquality]

Honestly, I think he is making up the story about the Cowboys making him an offer. He probably wasn't even on their list of candidates!!

Good think Ryan's wife didn't get a Dak tattoo on her before the deal was signed.....

I'm not sure......one guys been lying to us for a quarter century now......"all in"
