The Buffalo Bills didn't make the playoffs this year, which means their preparation for next season has already begun. The front office will evaluate the team, and make decisions based on what they think they need. And apparently, one thing they needed was a new face on special teams. They hired Kathryn Smith as a special teams quality control coach, effectively making her the NFL's first full-time female coach. Read More »
Rex Ryan is the new Buffalo Bills coach, and he's started off with a bang: "Is thing on? It's about to be," said the coach in his introductory press conference. He predicted that he would take the moribund team to the NFL playoffs, but stopped short of guaranteeing a Super Bowl, instead guaranteeing the pursuit of it, as he also said that he will build the team into a bully. Rex also made sure to honor Buffalo's heritage, going out and drinking beers with franchise legend Jim Kelly the night before his press conference. Read More »
The Buffalo Bills have a new head coach: Rex Ryan — but have they made a huge mistake? The NFL team announced today the former New York Jets coach would become their 18th head coach, and that they had finalized their deal that is thought to be worth more than $5 million a year for the defensive specialist. Ryan was also head coaching option for the Atlanta Flacons and San Francisco 49ers — who parted ways with Mike Smith and Jim Harbaugh respectively — but who were beaten to the punch by the Bills, who, following a change in ownership, had been ditched by coach Doug Marrone (who had an out clause in his contract) after the 2014 season ended. But the hire has raised eyebrows around the league. Read More »
The New York Jets have fired Rex Ryan. The controversial head coach had already reportedly cleaned out his desk, and Jets owner Woody Johnson today obliged both Rex and General Manager John Idzik by parting ways with the pair. This year the Jets went 4-12, the worst record the team has posted since 2007, and once again missed the NFL playoffs making it their fourth season in a row without postseason action. The Jets have hired two former NFL GMs - Charley Casserly and Ron Wolf - to oversee their new hires, while speculation is mounting that Rex Ryan could head to the San Francisco 49ers, Atlanta Falcons, Oakland Raiders or Chicago Bears. Rex finishes with a 46-50 record as Jets head coach. Read More »

Smith was the only player who didn't publicly support Ryan, with others sugarcoating the coach's horrible performance the past few seasons. The Jets finished tied for second in the AFC East in 2013, third in 2012 and second in 2011. 2014 could go down as the worst season for the team since 1996, according to ESPN. Read More »
A shocked and stunned Rex Ryan stood at the podium after his team's 10th loss of the season and admitted that his team made him feel "sick." The New York Jets's head coach, eyes downcast after yet another loss — this time going down 16-13 to AFC East rival Miami Dolphins — also said that the team's 2-10 record was a "joke." But the question everyone keeps asking is: Are the Jets poised to fire their head coach? "I feel sick," said Rex via "The Bleacher Report." "We played great for the most part in a lot of areas, but dang, we can't buy a win." "I can't believe we're 2-10. What a joke," he added. You can check out highlights of his press conference below, via ESPN. As "SBNation" points out, that video certainly makes it seem like the Jets have finally broken Rex's spirit and that he's ready to go: Read More »

Is Geno Smith good enough to QB for the New York Jets, who hold NFL Super Bowl aspirations? That's the question that many have asked recently. It seems he may be asking it himself, too. The second-year QB has struggled, and he fell short in the clutch, when he and his Jets dropped a close game to Tom Brady's New England Patriots, losing 27-25 on Thursday Night Football. Michael Vick is attempting to guide him off the field, but with no success it seems, and he's been so incapable this season that some have called for the return of Tim Tebow. Now Smith has questioned himself, and apologized for failing to find Jace Amaro, so one can wonder, is time running out on his Jets career? Read More »
New York Jets coach Rex Ryan has terminated wide receiver Stephen Hill's two-year run with the team. Though football critics can agree Hill's time was a disappointing turnout, agent Eric Hillman argues that this round of NFL cuts was uncalled for, because the player received lack of opportunities to showcase his true strengths.
