Per Mehta, Rex has a meeting on Tuesday with ESPN leadership.

It will be great to see Herm, Mangini and Rex on TV at the same time. We have a knack for selecting great TV personalities.

Rex Ryan, seen here waving goodbye to reporters and photographers after being canned by the Jets, will meet with ESPN executives Tuesday.

Rex Ryan might be headed to the Worldwide Leader soon enough.

The Daily News has learned that the swashbuckling former Jets head coach will meet with ESPN executives Tuesday to discuss a possible role with the network in case he doesn't land another head coaching job.

Ryan was fired by Woody Johnson on Black Monday after the Jets finished 4-12.

Ryan, always the showman, had an understated farewell on Monday morning that included an eight-minute video tribute to his players, according to sources.

Ryan and his wife flew to Orlando later in the day to watch their son, Seth, suit up for Clemson's win in the Russell Athletic Bowl.

Ryan has been under the impression for some time that he would have opportunities to land a TV job in the absence of another head coaching opportunity. He has no interest in becoming a defensive coordinator in 2015.

ESPN might not be the only network pursuing him. The Jets would still owe Ryan a few million dollars if he didn't get another coaching gig in 2015

Not so sure Rex won't succeed at his next job if he is in the right situation. Herm wasn't HC material. Mangini jumped into a lose. lose situation.

I've read that Rex also has an interview with the Bears.

Also the Jets still owe him over $4,000,000. If he takes a HC job, he losses that, or at least a good portion of it. HC is a very stressful job. Particularly in NY. If I'm Rex I take the ESPN gig kick back for a year, spend Woody's money, and see what develops next year.

He'll get another shot at HC

I think he could be successful but winning and winning a SB in the NFL is tough. Not so sure that any of these situations that Rex will get himself in will be that great. the best one is Atlanta but their roster is super thin, especially on defense. I also think they have a weak run game with no o-line.

Chicago, their team is one of the oldest in the league and they have a crappy contract with Cutler. Cutler's contract has also crippled their flexibility. They will have only five picks in this upcoming draft. Rex will need a strong offensive coordinator to be successful there. We all know that he doesn't meddle much with that side of the ball and I think that situation is a bad one. Chicago has no leadership there. Cutler has quit, Brandon Marshall always yacking away. Someone that can command respect will need to run that side of the ball for him but with Rex's track record, I do not think he is capable of finding a good offensive coordinator. Schotty, Sparano and Marty, yuck.

I see him having a better shot at being successful in ATL.

But I agree with you, it might be better for him to take the year off.
