| 7th January, 2008 - 8:32 am |  ESPN - Rex Ryan made his bid to become the Baltimore Ravens' third head coach Sunday, interviewing for several hours with the team's search committee.
The popular defensive coordinator was the fourth candidate to meet with the Ravens, after Indianapolis Colts' assistant head coach Jim Caldwell, Dallas Cowboys' assistant head coach Tony Sparano, and Cowboys' offensive coordinator Jason Garrett.
Ryan, 45, and the rest of the coaching staff were fired last week along with Coach Brian Billick by team owner Steve Bisciotti following a 5-11 season. The son of former NFL Head Coach Buddy Ryan, he coached the Ravens' defense to rankings of fifth, first, and sixth over the past three seasons.
"I think Rex would be a very good choice," Ravens' wide receiver Derrick Mason said. "I've had experience with a former defensive coordinator coming in and being a head coach with Tennessee Titans' coach Jeff Fisher. Rex, he's in the mold of Jeff Fisher, and I think he can do a great job." [READ] |
