Former Jets coach Rex Ryan is set to interview for the vacant head coaching position with the team.
Sometimes, in order to go forward, you must go back. That is at least what Rex Ryan is hoping for when he interviews with the New York Jets . Ryan will be interviewing with the Jets on Tuesday, per the NFL Networks’ Ian Rapoport.
