• Buffalo Bills Hire Rex Ryan as Head Coach

    Sometimes people fall in love because they are the only ones left at closing time. That seems to be the case for the Buffalo Bills and new head coach Rex Ryan, who reportedly coveted jobs in Atlanta and San Francisco before coming to the realization that the team for him was residing in the Northeast. "Following an extensive search, we are pleased today to announce that Rex Ryan is our new head coach," Bills owner Terry Pegula said in a statement this weekend, via ESPN. "Rex brings a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to the position that we feel will be a tremendous benefit to our players and the entire Bills organization." According to the (New York) "Daily News," via syracuse.com, the former New York Jets coach had the open Atlanta Falcons job in his sights, but after failing to secure a second interview with the organization, he turned his sights to San Fran. Ryan's request for a second interview out west was also rebuffed, so he decided to move forward with a second Bills interview Saturday, Jan. 10. There, he reached an agreement on a five-year, $27.5 million contract to coach in Buffalo.
