No. I've had enough of this defense. Ditch the scheme entirely.

The only reason I could see this is this defense needs an attitude. A swagger. A filthy mouthed asshole to get in everyone’s ass. Rex Ryan fits that profile. Plus, he knows his X’s and O’s defensively.

Agreed, love it

Rex’s version of his defense is unlike Sutton’s version.

He wasn’t a good HC, but he’s a great DC. Very good at developing guys and making in game adjustments.

I think he would be a high quality hire

I've always thought highly of Rex as a DC, and didn't think he was a bad HC either to be honest. Dragged the Jets into the AFCCG once or twice, including beating the Patriots in Foxboro once to do it. He's an odd duck, but a helluva coach IMHO.

Sign Rex and trade for PP or Ramsey and this team will win a Super Bowl in the next year or 2.

This.

We all think of him from his HC days, but that’s a far more complex and detailed job.

Rex is a guy who Andy can delegate the defense to with full trust and just let him lock in on that side of the football. I think it could get us over the hump.

The only upside of a move like that is with his HC experience Reid not paying attention to the defense wouldn't as big of a deal.

Del ****ing Rio!!!!!!!!!

I’ve already saw tweets from even Jets fans who say that Ryan as a DC is a great thing.

Will never get a coaching job in KC. Get over it.

It’s not that easy with new rules. Unless you are offering a HC spot, you need to request permission to interview someone for a DC spot.

Teams don’t always grant permission when it means losing a quality coach that they’ve groomed.

I had forgotten how solid that defense was before Rex murdered it.

They didn't groom him though. He's been there one season.

EDIT: Just noticed you weren't mentioning Richard exclusively.
