Rex Ryan tenure as the head coach of the New York Jets is coming to an end, and it might not take till the end of the season for his exit. Ryan's walking papers has been earned since the 2012 NFL season. That was the year he was suppose to get fired with former general manager Mike Tannenbaum, but his job was saved luckily.
Give credit to Rex Ryan for his two consecutive AFC Championship appearances in his first two seasons with the Jets. Ever since then Ryan has been a shell of himself, and hasn't put the best product out on the field week-to-week.
The New York Jets are 1-7, and just look pathetic. They have a history of quarterback issues since Rex Ryan came on board. Now with the benching of second year player Geno Smith, Michael Vick will get his chance to show and prove that he can still be formidable in this league.
It's just too little to late though, because the New York Jets have a less than 15% chance of making the playoffs this season. Head coach Ryan is considered to be a sideshow of a leader. But we really have to think about it, Ryan doesn't belong being a head coach in the first place. He's a defensive coordinator in the NFL, and that's all. Ryan is a great one at that, but he's no leader and he's proving that for the past couple of years.
When he leaves he should take Geno Smith and his average offense with him, because the New York Jets need a new face, better talent, and a improved in-game scheme. Right now, Ryan is sitting comfortably at the helm, because he knows that his time is running out. Rex Ryan is a smart guy, he's collecting checks while consistently losing.
Once the New York Jets fire Ryan and move in a different direction, you'll see some positive changes moving forward. All the blame isn't just on Rex Ryan and his coaching staff, because he can't go out on the field and produce, it's up to the players to do that.
Let's look at general manager John Idzik, who I believe should follow Rex Ryan out the door. Idzik has done a terrible job as manager. He seems to not like spending money on talent, and his drafting stinks. The Jets won't win with Rex Ryan or John Idzik, it's that plain and simple.

As the National Football League heads into the second half of the 2014 season there is a growing divide between those who are contenders and those teams that are pretenders that may be looking for head coaches next season. Oakland has already fired Dennis Allen and its safe to say that they probably won't keep interim head coach Tony Sparano. Atlanta and the New York Jets are two other prime candidates to be looking for head coaches in 2015 as Mike Smith has not been able to turn things around in Atlanta. Meanwhile, the Jets under Rex Ryan continue their freefall as they are paying the price for Geno Smith not panning out and their front office not being aggressive enough in the offseason to upgrade their offense. With that being said here is a look at five assistant coaches who could become head coaches in the National Football League as soon as this offseason.

While the country was still wrapping their heads around the Patriots epic fail at KC last night, the Oakland Raiders performed the classic news dump. Head Coach Dennis Allen was let go last night, to the surprise of no one. Earlier today, Assistan Head Coach/Offensive Line Coach Tony Sparano was bumped up to the Head Coach slot on an interim basis.
The dumpster fire which is the Oakland Raiders just got a little smellier. Allen, sporting an 8-28 record as Raiders' HC, was let go via phone call. Perhaps there wasn't enough time to address this as the team crossed the Atlantic following Sunday's embarrasment versus the Miami Dolphins in London. The 38-14 loss dropped Oakland to 0-4 on the year, and with no sign of improvement on the horizon, Allen was given the boot.
Sparano formerly was HC for he Miami Dolphins for most of four seasons and sported a 29-32 record. Miami actually took down the AFC East in his first year, losing to the Baltimore Ravens in the Wild Card round. Sparano has the unenviable task of straightening out a poorly constructed roster and providing some direction to a team that is quickly spiralling into oblivion.
One small bright spot has been QB David Carr. Carr has shown some flashes in tough circumstances, and was unfortunately injured in Sunday's loss with a high ankle sprain and sprained MCL. He'll have an extra week to heal up as Oakland is on the bye. Sparano has over a week to prepare to welcome Philip Rivers and the San Diego Chargers to town for a Week 6 tilt.
Thankfully, you will not have to choose any Oakland Raiders this week as you're preparing your roster to take down ONE MILLION DOLLARS! www.FFChamps.com/million

This may not be the only firing you hear of in the next few days, but it certainly got the ball rolling.
According to kctv5.com in Kansas City, Kansas Jayhawks head football coach Charlie Weis has been fired.
The announcement was made by the university following a 23-0 loss to Texas on Saturday.
Weis was in the third year of a five-year contract. He came to KU after being fired as Notre Dame's coach and serving a year as offensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2010 and a year as the University of Florida's offensive coordinator in 2011. Weis clashed with then-head coach Todd Haley during his brief tenure with the Chiefs.
Zenger named KU defensive coordinator Clint Bowen interim head coach.
"I normally do not favor changing coaches mid-season," Zenger said. "But I believe we have talented coaches and players in this program, and I think this decision gives our players the best chance to begin making progress right away."
Zenger said he informed Weiss of his decision Sunday morning, and then told the rest of the coaches.
"I appreciate what Coach Weis did with several facets of our football program," Zenger continued. "But we have not made the on-the-field progress we believe we should. I believe new leadership gives our coaches and players the best chance to make a fresh start."
Weis launched his professional coaching career in 1990 when he was named offensive assistant and assistant special teams coach under Giants head coach Bill Parcells. The Giants went on to win Super Bowl XXV at the end of that season, beating the Buffalo Bills by a score of 20–19. After Ray Handley took over as head coach in 1991, Weis stayed on as the running back coach for two seasons, then began a four-year stint with the New England Patriots.
For the first two years (1993–1994), Weis served as the tight end coach. In 1997, Weis became the offensive coordinator of the Jets in addition to duties as the team's primary receivers coach. In his second year as offensive coordinator, the Jets finished fourth in the National Football League in offense. Weis served as the team's offensive coordinator from 1997 to 1999.
Weis returned to New England Patriots following Parcells' announced retirement after the 1999 season. He served as offensive coordinator under head coach Bill Belichick from 2000 through 2004, installing the Erhardt-Perkins offensive system, and assisting the Patriots in three Super Bowl victories (XXXVI, XXXVIII, XXXIX).
This may not be the only firing you hear of in the next few days, but it certainly got the ball rolling.
